Taking a wild guess here, but it sounds like you're asked to find |A| and |B| given the magnitude of the resultant A + B, i.e. |A + B| = 50 N, and the sum of the individual magnitudes, |A| + |B| = 70 N.

Recall that the dot product of a vector with itself is equal to the square of that vector's magnitude,

A • A = |A|²

Then

|A + B|² = (A + B) • (A + B)

|A + B|² = (A • A) + 2 (A • B) + (B • B)

|A + B|² = |A|² + 2 (A • B) + |B|²

Since A and B are perpendicular to one another, their dot product is

A • B = 0

So it follows that

|A + B|² = |A|² + |B|²

2500 N² = |A|² + |B|²

Substitute |B| = 70 N - |A| and solve for |A| :

2500 N² = |A|² + (70 N - |A|)²

2500 N² = |A|² + 4900 N² - (140 N) |A| + |A|²

2 |A|² - (140 N) |A| + 2400 N² = 0

|A|² - (70 N) |A| + 1200 N² = 0

|A|² - (70 N) |A| = - 1200 N²

|A|² - (70 N) |A| + 1225 N² = - 1200 N² + 1225 N²

(|A| - 35 N)² = 25 N²

|A| - 35 N = ± 5 N

|A| = 35 N ± 5 N

so that |A| = 30 N or |A| = 40 N. If we fix |A| to be one of these, then |B| will have the other value.

So, the magnitudes are |A| = 30 N and |B| = 40 N.

Elements that cycle in the environment and that also have a gaseous phase at some point in their cycle include what?
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Carbon, nitrogen and sulphur.

Explanation:

In carbon cycle, carbon dioxide is in the gaseous form in atmosphere. This gaseous carbon dioxide is emitted in the atmosphere through combustion of fossils, respiration, decomposition. In nitrogen cycle, atmospheric nitrogen is in the gaseous form which is emitted through denitrification. In sulphur cycle, sulphur is in the form of gaseous sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere. This sulphur is emitted in the atmosphere by the volatilization of hydrogen sulphide.
