What units are associated with unit vectors i , j and k

1 answer:

4 0

First of all, not to get confused with terminology, unit vectors are called unit vectors because they have a unit length. This has absolutely nothing to do with physical units.

Now, if you are talking about physical units like m, m/s or N. Then it depends on what physical vector quantity you’re talking about. If it’s the displacement vector then the i,j,k will have units of length i.e. meters (m). If it’s the force vector then the i,j,k will have units of force i.e. newtons (N).

But if you are talking about vectors in math, then they are unitless. So, we just pretend the physical unit is 1.

Again stressing that this has nothing to do with their name “unit vectors”. They are called that because the unit, AKA the number “1”, is the value of their magnitude/length.

They have magnitude 1, bearing the unit of physical quantity they represent.

PlzHELP

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

To calculate displacement, simply draw a vector from your starting point to your final position and solve for the length of this line. If your starting and ending position are the same, like your circular 5K route, then your displacement is 0. In physics, displacement is represented by Δs.

For me to solve this I would need to know the time, but I can give you a handy displacement calculator I used that helped me.

Consider 3.5 kg of austenite containing 0.95 wt% c and cooled to below 727°c (1341°f). (a) what is the proeutectoid phase? (b) h

vladimir2022 [97]

A. The proeutectoid phase is Fe₃c because 0.95 wt/c is greater than the eutectoid composition which is 0.76 wt/c

b. We determine how much total territe and cementite form, we apply the lever rule expressions yields.
Wx = (fe₃c-co/cfe₃ c-cx = 6.70- 0.95/6.70- 0.022 = 0.86
The total cementite
Wfe₃C = 10-Cx/ Cfe₃c -Cx = 0.95 - 0.022/6.70 - 0.022 = 0.14
The total cementite which is formed is
(0.14) × (3.5kg) = 0.49kg

c. We calculate the pearule and the procutectoid phase which cementite form the equation
Ci = 0.95 wt/c
Wp = 6.70 -ci/6.70 - 0.76 = 6.70 -0.95/6.70 - 0.76 = 0.97
0.97 corresponds to mass.
W fe₃ C¹ = Ci - 0.76/5.94 = 0.03
∴ It is equivalent to
(0.03) × (3.5) = 0.11kg of total of 3.5kg mass.

2) Unbalanced. Mike will push the box with a force of 20 N. The forces would be balanced if the box responded with 30 N.

3) Balanced. Both boys are pulling with the same force. Neither is winning.

4) Unbalanced. The rope will move with 10 N to the west. The teachers are winning.

5) Unbalanced. The kids are pulling 220 N to the east. The kids are winning.
