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

Physics
1 answer:
artcher [175]2 years ago
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.

Which tuning forks will give rise to a beat frequency of 20 Hz when sounded together with a 240 Hz tuning fork?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Use the concept of beat frequency to find the applicable final freqeuncy for 20Hz beat frequency.

Beat can be defined as 'the interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies0

The expression for beat frequency is given as

f_{beat} = |f_1-f_2|

Where,

f_2 = Final frequency

f_1 = Initial frequency

The beat frequency for us is 25Hz and the initial frequency is 240Hz, then

20= |f_2-240|

Being an absolute value, two values are possible, both in addition and subtraction:

f_2 = 240 \pm 20

The two possible values are

f_2 = 220Hz

f_2 = 260Hz

6. A 73-kg woman stands on a scale in an elevator. The
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

b

Explanation:

n = m(g +a)

n= normal force (N)

m=mass (kg)

g=acceleration of gravity

a= acceleration of elevator

rearrange:

a= n/m - g

a= (810 N/73 kg) - 9.8 m/s ^2

a= 1.3 m/s ^2 up

and the acceleration is upwards bc her weight is less than the scale reading
