A cube is placed so that one corner is at the origin and three edges are along the x-, y-, and z-axes of a coordinate system (Fig. P1.80). Use vectors to compute (a) the angle between the edge along the z-axis (line ab) and the diagonal from the origin to the opposite corner (line ad), and (b) the angle between line ac (the diagonal of a face) and line ad.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) the angle between the edge and the diagonal is cos-113and

b) the angle between the lines iscos-123.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data can be expressed below as:

  • The three edges of the cube are along the x, y, and z-axis.
02

Significance of the dot product in identifying the angle

This dot product is described as the algebraic operation which mainly takes the 鈥渢wo equal-length鈥 number and also returns a single piece of the number.

Dividing the dot product of the line with the multiplication of the lines provides the angle between the edges, lines, and the diagonals.

03

Determination of the angle between the two lines and the edges

a) The free body diagram of the cube is presented above in Fig. P1.80.

Here, if we assume that the sides of the cube are a then the length of the diagonal will be 2ausing the Pythagorean theorem, and the angle between the cube are respectively.

As the sides of the cube are a, hence, from the first figure, it can be identified that

role="math" localid="1655790038397" ab.ad=abadcoscos=a23a2=cos-113

Thus, the angle between the edge and the diagonal is cos-113.

b) a) the free body diagram of the cube can be expressed as:

pic

Here, the sides of the cube are a, 3a and 2aare the angle between the cube are and respectively.

As the sides of the cube are a, hence, from the first figure, it can be identified that

ac^=di^+dk^andad^=di^+dj^+dk^.

From the rule of the dot product of the vectors, the angle between the edge and the diagonals that can be expressed as:

ac.ad=acadcoscos=2a23a2=cos-123

Thus, the angle between the lines iscos-123.

An astronaut has left the International Space Station to test a new space scooter.

Her partner measures the following velocity changes, each taking place in a 10-sinterval.

What are the magnitude, the algebraic sign, and the direction of the average acceleration in each interval?

Assume that the positive direction is to the right.

(a) At the beginning of the interval, the astronaut is moving toward the right along the x-axis at 15.0m/s, and at the end of the interval she is moving toward the right at5.0m/s .

(b) At the beginning she is moving toward the left atrole="math" localid="1655276110547" 5.0m/s , and at the end she is moving toward the left at 15.0m/s.

A rocket starts from rest and moves upward from the surface of the earth. For the first 10.0 s of its motion, the vertical acceleration of the rocket is given by ay = (2.80 m/s3) t, where the +y-direction is upward. (a) What is the height of the rocket above the surface of the earth at t = 10.0 s? (b) What is the speed of the rocket when it is 325 m above the surface of the earth?

How many gallons of gasoline are used in the United States in one day? Assume that there are two cars for every three people, that each car is driven an average of 10,000 miles per year, and that the average car gets 20 miles per gallon.

A Fast Pitch. The fastest measured pitched baseball left the pitcher鈥檚 hand at a speed of 45.0m/s. If the pitcher was in contact with the ball over a distance of1.50mand produced constant acceleration, (a) what acceleration did he give the ball, and (b) how much time did it take him to pitch it?

A helium filled balloon is tied to a light string inside a car at rest. The other end of the string is attached to the floor of the car, so the balloon pulls the string vertical. The car now accelerates forward. Does the balloon move? If so, does it move forward or backward? Justify your reasoning with references to buoyancy (if you have a chance, try this experiment yourself but with someone else driving !).
