Find the lengths of each of the following vectors

Physics
1 answer:
serg [3.5K]1 month ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The length of a vector refers to its magnitude.

For a vector

R = a•i + b•j + c•k

The magnitude can be calculated using

|R|= √(a²+b²+c²)

Applying this formula to each given vector yields the following results.

(a) 2i + 4j + 3k

The length is

L = √(2²+4²+3²)

L = √(4+16+9)

L = √29

L = 5.385 unit

(b) 5i − 2j + k

Note that k represents 1k

The length is

L = √(5²+(-2)²+1²)

Because, -×- = +

L = √(25+4+1)

L = √30

L = 5.477 unit

(c) 2i − k

As there is no j component, it means that the j component is 0

L = 2i + 0j - 1k

The length is

L = √(2²+0²+(-1)²)

L = √(4+0+1)

L = √5

L = 2.236 unit

(d) 5i

Similarly, without a j-component and k-component

L = 5i + 0j + 0k

The length is

L = √(5²+0²+0²)

L = √(25+0+0)

L = √25

L = 5 unit

(e) 3i − 2j − k

The length is

L = √(3²+(-2)²+(-1)²)

L = √(9+4+1)

L = √14

L = 3.742 unit

(f) i + j + k

The length is

L = √(1²+1²+1²)

L = √(1+1+1)

L = √3

L = 1.7321 unit

An apple falls from an apple tree growing on a 20° slope. The apple hits the ground with an impact velocity of 16.2 m/s straight
serg [3582]

An apple strikes the ground at a velocity of 16.2 m/s.

The angle between the velocity of the apple and a line normal to the inclined surface is 20 degrees.

The parallel and perpendicular components of its velocity concerning the surface are as follows:

v_{perpendicular} = v cos20

v_{parallel} = v sin20

This gives us:

v_{parallel} = 16.2 sin20

v_{parallel} = 5.5 m/s

The velocity along the inclined plane measures 5.5 m/s.

A supplier wants to make a profit by buying metal by weight at one altitude and selling it at the same price per pound weight at
Ostrovityanka [3204]

The appropriate choice is C.

In physics, the law of gravity helps us understand how gravity varies with height. As altitude increases, so too does the experience of gravity. Changes in altitude also result in variations in weight, though these differences are not particularly significant. Consequently, weighing metals at different heights shows negligible variance as the impact of gravity remains constant across them.

The electric field must be zero inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium, but not inside an insulator. It turns out that
serg [3582]

Response:

Reasoning:

We will utilize a Gaussian surface that resembles the curved wall of a cylinder, with a radius of 3mm and a length of 1 unit directed parallel to the wire axis.

The charge within this cylinder amounts to 250 x 10⁻⁹ C.

Let E denote the electric field at the curved surface, perpendicular to it.

The total electric flux leaving the curved surface

is calculated as 2π r x 1 x E

or 2 x 3.14 x 3 x 10⁻³ E

According to Gauss's law, the total flux is given by the charge within divided by ε (the charge inside the cylinder being 250 x 10⁻⁹C)

equals 250 x 10⁻⁹ / 2.5 x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²   (where ε = 2.5 ε₀ = 2.5 x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²)

resulting in 11.3 x 10³ weber.

Thus,

2 x 3.14 x 3 x 10⁻³ E = 11.3 x 10³

E =  11.3 x 10³ /  2 x 3.14 x 3 x 10⁻³

=.599 x 10⁶ N /C.

A 45.0-kg person steps on a scale in an elevator. The scale reads 460 n. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the elevat
ValentinkaMS [3465]
The elevator's acceleration is 0.422 m/s². To clarify the solution: By applying Newton's Law, the net forces in the motion's direction equal the mass multiplied by the acceleration. The forces comprise 460 N in the motion's direction and the person's weight acting in the opposite direction... The weight is determined by the mass and gravity's acceleration (W = mg). Here m = 45 kg and g = 9.8 m/s², leading to W = 441 N. With the scale indicating 460 N, we apply F - W = ma, yielding 19 = 45 a. Dividing both sides by 45 gives a = 0.422 m/s².
