Answer:

Explanation:

Generally, length of vector means the magnitude of the vector.

So, given a vector

R = a•i + b•j + c•k

Then, it magnitude can be caused using

|R|= √(a²+b²+c²)

So, applying this to each of the vector given.

(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 means 1k

The length is

L = √(5²+(-2)²+1²)

Note that, -×- = +

L = √(25+4+1)

L = √30

L = 5.477 unit

Note that, since there is no component j implies that 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

Same as above no is 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

You catch a volleyball (mass 0.270 kg) that is moving downward at 7.50 m/s. In stopping the ball, your hands and the volleyball

sesenic [268]

Explanation:

The work done equals the change in energy.

W = ΔKE

W = 0 − ½mv²

W = -½ (0.270 kg) (-7.50 m/s)²

W = -7.59 J

Work is force times displacement.

W = Fd

-7.59 J = F (-0.150 m)

F = 50.6 N

A baseball thrown at an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal strikes a building 16.0 m away at a point 8.00 m above the point fro

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

a) $v_{o} =16m/s$

b) $v=9.8m/s$

c) $\beta =-35.46º$

Explanation:

From the exercise we know that the ball strikes the building 16m away and its final height is 8m more than the initial

Being said that, we can calculate the initial velocity of the ball

a) First we analyze its horizontal motion

$x=v_{ox}t$

$x=v_{o}cos(60)t$

$v_{o}=\frac{x}{tcos(60)}=\frac{16m}{tcos(60)}$ (1)

That would be our first equation

Now, we need to analyze its vertical motion

$y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y_{o}+8=y_{o}+v_{o}sin(60)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

Knowing $v_{o}$ in our first equation (1)

$8=\frac{16}{tcos(60)}sin(60)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2=16tan(60)-8$

Solving for t

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2(16tan(60)-8)}{9.8} } =2s$

So, the ball takes to seconds to get to the other building. Now we can calculate its initial velocity

$v_{o}=\frac{16m}{(2s)cos(60)}=16m/s$

b) To find the magnitude of the ball just before it strikes the building we need to calculate its x and y components

$v_{x}=v_{ox}+at=16cos(60)=8m/s$

$v_{y}=v_{oy}+gt=16sin(60)-(9.8)(2)=-5.7m/s$

So, the magnitude of the velocity is:

$v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}=\sqrt{(8m/s)^2+(-5.7m/s)^2}=9.8m/s$

c) The direction of the ball is:

$\beta=tan^{-1}(\frac{v_{y} }{v_{x}})=tan^{-1}(\frac{-5.7}{8})=-35.46º$

Calculate the mass of air in a room of floor dimensions =10M×12M and height 4m(Density of air =1.26kg/m cubic

Alinara [238K]

The volume of the room is the product of its dimensions:

$10\times 12 \times 4 = 480\text{ m}^3$

Now, from the equation

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}$

where d is the density, m is the mass and V is the volume, we deduce

$m=dV$

So, multiply the density and the volume to get the mass of air in the room.

You place a 500 g block of an unknown substance in an insulated container filled 2 kg of water. The block has an initial tempera

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

3349J/kgC

Explanation:

Questions like these are properly handled having this fact in mind;

Heat loss = Heat gained

Quantity of heat = mcΔ∅

m = mass of subatance

c = specific heat capacity

Δ∅ = change in temperature

m₁c₁(∅₂-∅₁) = m₂c₂(∅₁-∅₃)

m₁ = mass of block = 500g = 0.5kg

c₁ = specific heat capacity of unknown substance

∅₂ = block initial temperature = 50oC

∅₁ = equilibrium temperature of block and water after mix= 25oC

m₂= mass of water = 2kg

c₂ = specific heat capacity of water = 4186J/kg C

∅₃ = intial temperature of water = 20oC

0.5c₁(50-25) = 2 x 4186(25-20)

And we can find c₁ which is the unknown specific heat capacity

c₁ = $\frac{2*4186*5}{0.5*25}$ = 3348.8J/kg C≅ 3349J/kg C
