Answer

a) The magnitude of A is 8.06, and the magnitude of B is 5.39.

b) The vector difference AB can be expressed as, C=1.00i^+9.00j^.

c) The magnitude of AB is 9.06 and it makes an angle of 96.3o with x-axis.

d)The vector diagram agrees with part (c) results.

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Identification of given data

The vector A is given as A=4.00i^+7.00j^ and the vector B is given as, B=5.00i^2.00j^.

02

Step-2: Magnitude of a vector

The magnitude of vector G=Gxi^+Gyj^ can be expressed as,

G=Gx2+Gy2

Here Gx,Gyare the components in x and y direction and i^,j^ are the unit vectors inx and ydirections receptively.

03

Step-3: Estimation of magnitudes of given vectors

Part (a)

The components of A can be represented as,

A=4.00i^+7.00j^Ax=4.00,Ay=7.00

The magnitude of A can be calculated as,

A=Ax2+Ay2

Substitute 4.00 for AX , and 7.00 for AY.

A=4.002+7.002=65=8.06

The components of Bcan be represented as,

B=5.00i^2.00j^Bx=5.00,By=2.00

The magnitude of Bcan be expressed as,

B=Bx2+By2

Substitute 5.00 for Bxand -2.00 for By,

B=5.002+2.002=29=5.39

Thus, the magnitude Aof is 8.06 and magnitude of Bis 5.39.

04

Step-4: Estimation of vector difference

Part (b)

The vector Ais given as A=4.00i^+7.00j^ and the vector Bis given as,

B=5.00i^2.00j^

Consider vector C is the resultant vector ABof and is expressed as,C=AB

Substitute4.00i^+7.00j^forA,and5.00i^2.00j^forB.C=4.00i^+7.00j^5.00i^2.00j^=4.005.00i^+7.002.00j^=1.00i^+9.00j^

Thus, the vector difference AB can be expressed as, C=1.00i^+9.00j^

05

Step-5: Estimation of magnitude and direction of vector difference

Part (c)

The components of C can be represented as,

C=1.00i^+9.00j^Cx=1.00,Cy=9.00

Thus, the magnitude of Ccan be expressed as,

C=Cx2+Cy2

Substitute -1.00 for Cx and 9.00 for, Cy ,

C=1.002+9.002=82=9.06

Thus, the magnitude of AB is 9.06.

The direction of a vector quantity can be expressed as,

tan=CyCx

Substitute -1.00 for Cx and 9.00 for, Cy ,

an=9.001.00=9.00=tan19.00+180=96.3

Thus, the AB makes an angle of 96.3o with x-axis.

06

Step-6: Representation of vector diagram

Part (d)

The vector diagram of C=AB is plotted above. Which agrees with the results obtained in part (c). Cx is negative and Cy is positive. Thus, the resultant vector lies in the second quadrant.

Calculate the earth鈥檚 gravity force on a 75-kg astronaut who is repairing the Hubble Space Telescope 600 km above the earth鈥檚 surface, and then compare this value with his weight at the earth鈥檚 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 Simple Reaction-Time Test.A meter stick is held vertically above your hand, with the lower end between your thumb and first finger. When you see the meter stick released, you grab it with those two fingers. You can calculate your reaction time from the distance the meter stick falls, read directly from the point where your fingers grabbed it. (a) Derive a relationship for your reaction time in terms of this measured distance, d. (b) If the measured distance is 17.6 cm, what is your reaction time?

Hot Jupiters. In 2004 astronomers reported the discovery of a large Jupiter-sized planet orbiting very close to the star HD179949 (hence the term 鈥渉ot Jupiter鈥). The orbit was just19 the distance of Mercury from our sun, and it takes the planet only3.09days to make one orbit (assumed to be circular). (a) What is the mass of the star? Express your answer in kilograms and as a multiple of our sun鈥檚 mass. (b) How fast (in km>s) is this planet moving?

You normally drive on the freeway between San Diego and Los Angeles at an average speed of 105 km/h (65 mi/h), and the trip takes 1 h and 50 min. On a Friday afternoon, however, heavy traffic slows you down and you drive the same distance at an average speed of only 70 km/h (43 mi/h). How much longer does the trip take?

Planet Vulcan.Suppose that a planet were discovered between the sun and Mercury, with a circular orbit of radius equal to 2/3 of the average orbit radius of Mercury. What would be the orbital period of such a planet? (Such a planet was once postulated, in part to explain the precession of Mercury鈥檚 orbit. It was even given the name Vulcan, although we now have no evidence that it actually exists. Mercury鈥檚 precession has been explained by general relativity.)
