Compute the x- and y-components of the vectorsA→,B→,C→andD→in Fig. E1.24.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The x and the y components of vector A, B, C and D are (0,-8) ; (7.5 , 13); (-10.88,-5.07) and (-7.99, 6.02)

respectively ,

Step by step solution

01

 Representation of vector

Here, vector is easily defined with the help of its magnitude and its angle with the x and the y axis.

Here in this case, there are four given vectors.

For this vector we will use the given magnitude as well as the angle with the x axis and the y axis.

02

Conversion of mile into kilometer

For the direction shown in the graph,

A→=(0,-8) in meters

Here, the vector is exactly on the y axis so, the magnitude with respect to y axis will be zero.

For vector B, the angle of the vector made with the x axis will be 90 – 30,

that is the angle made will be 60.

Hence,the components of the B vector will be magnitude multiplied by the cos angle and sin angle made with respect to x axis.

B→=15cos60+15sin60

By putting the value of cos 60 = ½ and sin 60 =3/2

We get,

B→=(7.5 , 13) in meters

Similarly for vector C

C→=-12cos25-12sin25

After the putting the value of cos 25 and sin 25,

C = (-10.88,-5.07) in meters

The coordinates for vector D will be,

D→=-10cos53+10sin53

D = (-7.99, 6.02) in meter

Hence, the coordinates of A, B, C and D are (0,-8) ; (7.5 , 13); (-10.88,-5.07) and (-7.99, 6.02), respectively.

In March 2006, two small satellites were discovered orbiting Pluto, one at a distance of 48,000 km and the other at 64,000 km. Pluto already was known to have a large satellite Charon, orbiting at 19,600 km with an orbital period of 6.39 days. Assuming that the satellites do not affect each other, find the orbital periods of the two small satellites withoutusing the mass of Pluto.

A hammer with mass m is dropped from rest from a height h above the earth’s surface. This height is not necessarily small compared with the radiusof the earth. Ignoring air resistance, derive an expression for the speed v of the hammer when it reaches the earth’s surface. Your expression should involve h,, and(the earth’s mass).

How many nanoseconds does it take light to travel 1.00 ft in vacuum? (This result is a useful quantity to remember.)?

You hold a hose at waist height and spray water horizontally with it. The hose nozzle has a diameter of 1.80 cm, and the water splashes on the ground a distance of 0.950 cm horizontally from the nozzle. If you constrict the nozzle to a diameter of 0.750 cm, how far from the nozzle, horizontally, will the water travel before it hits the ground? (Ignore air resistance.)

Neutron stars, such as the one at the center of the Crab Nebula, have about the same mass as our sun but have a much smaller diameter. If you weigh 675Non the earth, what would you weigh at the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as our sun and a diameter of 20km?
