Chapter 4: Q1P (page 84)

The position vector for an electron is r鈫�=(5.0m)i^-(3.0m)j^+(2.0m)k^.

(a) Find the magnitude ofr. (b) Sketch the vector on a right-handed coordinate system.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The magnitude of vector ris 6.2 m.

(b) The vector is drawn on a right handed coordinate system.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The position vector for an electron,r鈫�=(5.0m)i^-(3.0m)j^+(2.0m)k^

02

Understanding the vector magnitude

A vector is a geometrical object with both magnitude and direction. The magnitude is the length of the vector.

The expression for the magnitude of a vector ris given as:

鈥� (i)

Here,x, y and z are the components of vectors in X, Y and Z-directions.

03

(a) Determination of the magnitude of vector r→

Using equation (i), the magnitude can be calculated as:

Thus, the magnitude of vectorr is6.2m.

04

(b) To draw the vector diagram

The figure below shows the position vector for the electron.

A stone is catapulted at time t = 0 , with an initial velocity of magnitude 20.0 m/s and at an angle of 40.0掳above the horizontal. What are the magnitudes of the (a)horizontal and (b) vertical components of its displacementfrom the catapult site atat t=1.10 s Repeat for the (c) horizontal and (d) vertical components at t = 1.8 s , and for the (e)horizontal and (f) vertical components at t=5.00s .

Upon spotting an insect on a twig overhanging water, an archer fish squirts water drops at the insect to knock it into the water (Figure). Although the fish sees the insect along a straight-line path at angle 蠒and distance d , a drop must be launched at a different angle 胃0if its parabolic path is to intersect the insect. If蠒=36掳and d=0.900m , what launch angle 胃0 is required for the drop to be at the top of the parabolic path when it reaches the insect?

Two seconds after being projected from ground level, a projectile is displaced40mhorizontally and 53mvertically above its launch point. What are the (a) horizontal and (b) vertical components of the initial velocity of the projectile? (c)At the instant the projectile achieves its maximum height above ground level, how far is it displaced horizontally from the launch point?

In the 1991 World Track and Field Championships in Tokyo, Mike Powell jumped 8.95m, breaking by a full 5cm the 23-year long-jump record set by Bob Beamon. Assume that Powell鈥檚 speed on takeoff was 9.5 m/s (about equal to that of a sprinter) and that g=9.80m/s2in Tokyo. How much less was Powell鈥檚 range than the maximum possible range for a particle launched at the same speed?

(a) Is it possible to be accelerating while traveling at constant speed? Is it possible to round a curve with (b) zero acceleration and (c) a constant magnitude of acceleration?
