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

Physics
1 answer:
artcher [175]2 years ago

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.

Two balls, each with a mass of 0.890 kg, exert a gravitational force of 8.06 × 10−11 n on each other. how far apart are the ball
Bond [772]
This problem involves Newton's universal law of gravitation and the equation to follow would be.

F = GM₁M₂/r²  

Given: M₁ = 0.890 Kg;  M₂ = 0.890 Kg;  F = 8.06 x 10⁻¹¹ N; G = 6.673 X 10⁻¹¹ N m²/Kg²

Solving for distance r = ?

r = √GM₁M₂/F

r = √(6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ N m₂/Kg²)(0.890 Kg)(0.890 Kg)/ 8.06 x 10⁻¹¹ N

r = 0.81 m

If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will _____________.
malfutka [58]

If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will double.

Explanation:

The force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law

F=\frac{k q1 q2}{r^{2}}

K=constant= 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C²

q1= charge on first particle

q2= charge on second particle

r= distance between the two charges

Now if the first charge is doubled,

we get F'=\frac{k (2q1) q2}{r^{2}}

F'= 2 F

Thus the force gets doubled.

1. a=Δv/Δt=(v-vo)/t=(0-25)/5=-25/5=-5 m/s²

The "-" sign shows us that the car has a slow motion


2.a=Δv/Δt=(v-vo)/t=(10-0)/4=10/4=2,5 m/s²


3.they do not have acceleration because they go at constant speed
