Recall the definition of the cross product with respect to the unit vectors:

i × i = j × j = k × k = 0

i × j = k

j × k = i

k × i = j

and that the product is anticommutative, so that for any two vectors u and v, we have u × v = - (v × u). (This essentially takes care of part (b).)

Now, given a = 8i + j - 2k and b = 5i - 3j + k, we have

a × b = (8i + j - 2k) × (5i - 3j + k)

a × b = 40 (i × i) + 5 (j × i) - 10 (k × i)

… … … … - 24 (i × j) - 3 (j × j) + 6 (k × j)

… … … … + 8 (i × k) + (j × k) - 2 (k × k)

a × b = - 5 (i × j) - 10 (k × i) - 24 (i × j) - 6 (j × k) - 8 (k × i) + (j × k)

a × b = - 5k - 10j - 24k - 6i - 8j + i

a × b = -5i - 18j - 29k

A small package is attached to a helium-filled balloon rising at 2 m/s. The package drops from the balloon when it is 14 meters

scZoUnD [109]

I would assume air resistance is negligible and so the acceleration of the package would be approximately 9.81 m/s².

Taking downwards as positive, use v²=u²+2as.
v²=(-2)²+2(9.81)(14)
v=16.7 m/s

Lucille is finding it difficult to play soccer after school. Her doctor thinks that her cells might not be getting enough oxygen

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Circulation of blood and oxygen is possible in body when circulatory system work along with respiratory system. Through tranche air moves in and out from lungs, whereas, through pulmonary arteries and veins (both connected to heart) blood moves in and out from the lungs. As Lucille is facing problem in his respiratory and circulatory system hence, it is difficult for him to play soccer because under normal circumstances when there is increase in physical activity then muscle cell respire more as compare to when the body is on rest. So, with increase of physical activity there is also increase in the rate of breathing which result in more absorption of oxygen and more removal of carbon dioxide but if there is problem in respiratory and circulatory system, for example, infection in throat due to pollution,etc. then this normal process of breathing gets affected which sometime may prove fatal to the person.
