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

Charge q1 is distance r from a positive point charge q. charge q2=q1/3 is distance 2r from q. what is the ratio u1/u2 of their p

makvit [3.9K]

We need the power law for the change in potential energy (due to the Coulomb force) in bringing a charge q from infinity to distance r from charge Q. We are only interested in the ratio U₁/U₂, so I'm not going to bother with constants (like the permittivity of space).

The potential energy of charge q is proportional to 
∫[s=r to ∞] qQs⁻²ds = -qQs⁻¹|[s=r to ∞] = qQr⁻¹, 

so if r₂ = 3r₁ and q₂ = q₁/4, then 
U₁/U₂ = q₁Qr₂/(r₁q₂Q) = (q₁/q₂)(r₂/r₁) 
= 4•3 = 12.

A 2 000-kg sailboat experiences an eastward force of 3 000 N by the ocean tide and a wind force against its sails with a magnitu

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The magnitude of the resultant acceleration is 2.2 $m/s^2$

Explanation:

Mass (m) of the sailboat = 2000 kg

Force acting on the sailboat due to ocean tide is $F_1$ = 3000N

Eastwards means takes place along the positive x direction

Then $F_{1x}$ = 3000N and $F_{1y}$ = 0

Wind Force acting on the Sailboat is $F_2$ = 6000N directed towards the northwest that means at an angle 45 degree above the negative x axis

Then

$F_{2x}$ = -(6000N) cos 45 degree = -4242.6 N

$F_{2y}$ = (6000N) cos 45 degree = 4242.6 N

Hence , the net force acting on the sailboat in x direction is

$F_x = F_{1x}+ F_{2x}$

= - 3000 N + 4242.6 N

= - 3000 N +4242.6 N

= 1242.6N

Net Force acting on the sailboat in y direction is

$F_y = F_{1y}+ F_{2y}$

= 0+ 4242.6N

= 4242.6N

The magnitude of the resultant force =

Using pythagorean theorm of 1243 N and 4243 N

$\sqrt{(1242.6)^2 + (4242.6)^2$

$\sqrt{(1544054.76) + (17999654.8)}$

$\sqrt{(19543709.5)^2}$

4420.8 N

F = ma

$a = \frac{F}{m}$

$a =\frac{4420.8}{ 2000}$

=2.2 $m/s^2$

The ends of a massless rope are attached to two stationary objects (e.g., two trees or two cars) so that the rope makes a straig

Virty [35]

Answer:

1. The tension in the rope is everywhere the same.

2. The magnitudes of the forces exerted on the two objects by the rope are the same.

3. The forces exerted on the two objects by the rope must be in opposite directions.

Explanation:

"Massless ropes" do not have a "net force" which means that it is able to transmit the force from one end of the rope to the other end, perfectly. It is known for its property of having a total force of zero. In order to attain this property, the magnitude of the forces exerted on the two stationary objects by the rope are the same and in opposite direction. So this explains number 2 & 3 answers.

Since the objects that are held by the rope are stationary, then this means that the tension in the rope is also stationary. This means that the tension in the rope everywhere is the same (provided that the rope is still or in a straight line, as stated in the situation above, and is being held by two points). So, this explains number 1.
