IfA→= 0 for a vector in the xy-plane, does it follow that Ax = -Ay? What can you say about Ax and Ay?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Given- A⇶Äand B⇶Äare vector The sum of number of vectors that for the sum of two vectors is geometrically represented by the diagonal of parallelogram whose side represent the two vectors being added.

A⇶Ä=0,for a vector in the xy plane.

Step by step solution

01

To Prove

Ax=-Ay

02

(Explainationand proof  of Ax = -Ay) =0

If A⇶Ä=0

Such that A⇶Äis in xy plane.

i.e.A⇶Ä= Axι^+Ay⇶ÄJ^

03

(Explaination )

Magnitude of A⇶Ä=Ax+localid="1663675123183" AY2

A⇶Ä= 0 localid="1663675191128" =Ax2+Ay2

localid="1663677147446" Ax2+localid="1663677163472" AY2=0

The only case possible is

Ax= Ay=0

04

(Conclusion)

It is proved

Axis not equal to -Ay

The most powerful engine available for the classic 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray developed 360 horsepower and had a displacement of 327 cubic inches. Express this displacement in liters (L) by using only the conversions 1 L = 1000 cm3 and 1 in. = 2.54 cm.

Calculate the earth’s gravity force on a 75-kg astronaut who is repairing the Hubble Space Telescope 600 km above the earth’s surface, and then compare this value with his weight at the earth’s surface. In view of your result, explain why it is said that astronauts are weightless when they orbit the earth in a satellite such as a space shuttle. Is it because the gravitational pull of the earth is negligibly small?

A lunar lander is makingits descent to Moon Base I (Fig. E2.40). The lander descendsslowly under the retro-thrust of its descent engine. The engine iscut off when the lander is 5.0 m above the surface and has a downwardspeed of 0.8m/s . With the engine off, the lander is in freefall. What is the speed of the lander just before it touches the surface?The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6m/s2.

While driving in an exotic foreign land, you see a speed limit sign that reads 180,000 furlongs per fortnight. How many miles per hour is this? (One furlong is 1/8 mile, and a fortnight is 14 days. A furlong originally referred to the length of a plowed furrow.)

Can you find a vector quantity that has a magnitude of zero but components that are not zero? Explain. Can the magnitude of a vector be less than the magnitude of any of its components? Explain.
