Express force in terms of base units
1 answer:
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>
<u></u>
<u>Force = kgm/s² ⟶ Newton</u>
<h2><u>Explanation:</u></h2><u></u>
According to the formula we've learnt,
- Force = mass × acceleration.
To find force in terms of base units, we must first identify the base SI units of mass & acceleration.
- Base SI unit of mass = kg (kilogram)
- Base SI unit of acceleration = m/s² (meter per second squared)
So, the base unit of force is,
- Force = mass × acceleration.
- Force = kg × m/s²
- <u>Force = kgm/s² ⟶ Newton</u>

A) Vector A
The x-component of a vector can be found by using the formula
where
v is the magnitude of the vector
is the angle between the x-axis and the direction of the vector
- Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so . So its x-component is
- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is (negative since it is below the x-axis), so the x-component is
So, vector A has the greater x component.
B) Vector B
Instead, the y-component of a vector can be found by using the formula
Here we have
- Vector B has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so . So its y-component is
- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is , so the y-component is
where the negative sign means the direction is along negative y:
So, vector B has the greater y component.
