Determine the value of n so that the vectors A and B are perpendicular: Ā = î + 5j + nk and B = 2î - j + k
Tanya [424]

If \vec A and \vec B are perpendicular, then their dot product is zero. This means

\vec A \cdot \vec B = (\vec\imath + 5\,\vec\jmath + n\,\vec k) \cdot (2\,\vec\imath - \vec\jmath + \vec k) = 2 - 5 + n = 0

Solving for n is trivial; it follows that n = 3.

When two objects interact, the change in momentum of the first object is ______ the change in momentum of the second object.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

A. Equal to and Opposite

Explanation:

           when there is no External force acting on the system of bodies then Net momentum of the system is Conserved .

        Given that there are 2 bodies

         Let  P₁ as first object's momentum

                  P₂ as second object's momentum.

                  Total Momentum =P₁ + P₂

           As there is no external force acying on the system

                 Change in the Total momentum is zero

so,

                  0 = Δ P₁ + ΔP₂

                   ΔP₂ = -ΔP₁

                   negative sign indicates opposite direction.

                       Both are of equal magnitude.
