Compute the x- and y-components of the vectors A,B,CandDin Fig. E1.24.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The x and the y components of vectors A, B, C and D are (0, 鈥8), (7.5,13), (鈥10.88, 鈥5.07) and (鈥7.99, 6.02), respectively.

Step by step solution

01

 Representation of vector

Vector is easily defined with the help of their magnitude and their angle with the x and the y-axes.

Here, in this case, there are four vectors given

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

02

Finding the components

For the direction shown in the graph as:

  • A=0,-8m

As here, the vector is precisely on the y-axis, so the magnitude with respect to the y-axis will be zero.

  • For vector B,coordinates will be :

The angle of that vector made with the x-axis will be 90 鈥 30 = 60.

Hence the components of the b vector will be magnitude multiplied by the cos angle and sin angle made with respect to the x-axis as:

B=15cos60i^+15sin60j^=7.5i^+13j^B=(7.5,13)m

  • Similarly, for vector C, coordinates will be :

C=12cos25i^12sin25j^=10.87i^5.07j^=(10.87,5.07)m

  • For vector D, coordinates will be :

D=10cos53j^10sin53i^=6.018j^7.986i^=(7.986,6.018)m

Hence, the x and the y components of vectors A, B, C and D are (0, 鈥8), (7.5,13), (鈥10.88, 鈥5.07) and (鈥7.99, 6.02), respectively.

As you pilot your space utility vehicle at a constant speed toward the moon, a race pilot flies past you in her space racer at a constant speed of 0.800c relative to you. At the instant the space racer passes you, both of you start timers at zero. (a) At the instant when you measure that the space racer has travelled1.2108m past you, what does the race pilot read on her timer? (b) When the race pilot reads the value calculated in part (a) on her timer, what does she measure to be your distance from her? (c) At the instant when the race pilot reads the value calculated in part (a) on her timer, what do you read on yours?

Why Are We Bombarded by Muons? Muons are unstable subatomic particles that decay to electrons with a mean lifetime of 2.2s. They are produced when cosmic rays bombard the upper atmosphere about km above the earth's surface, and they travel very close to the speed of light. The problem we want to address is why we see any of them at the earth's surface. (a) What is the greatest distance a muon could travel during its 2.2渭蝉lifetime? (b) According to your answer in part (a), it would seem that muons could never make it to the ground. But the 2.2-碌s lifetime is measured in the frame of the muon, and muons are moving very fast. At a speed of 0.999c, what is the mean lifetime of a muon as measured by an observer at rest on the earth? How far would the muon travel in this time? Does this result explain why we find muons in cosmic rays? (c) From the point of view of the muon, it still lives for only 2.2s, so how does it make it to the ground? What is the thickness of the 10 km of atmosphere through which the muon must travel, as measured by the muon? Is it now clear how the muon is able to reach the ground?

The theory of relativity sets an upper limit on the speed that a particle can have. Are there also limits on the energy and momentum of a particle? Explain.

A hydrogen atom in the 5g state is placed in a magnetic field of 0.600 T that is in the z-direction. (a) Into how many levels is this state split by the interaction of the atom鈥檚 orbital magnetic dipole moment with the magnetic field? (b) What is the energy separation between adjacent levels? (c) What is the energy separation between the level of lowest energy and the level of highest energy?

A spaceship flies past Mars with a speed of 0.985c relative to the surface of the planet. When the spaceship is directly overhead, a signal light on the Martian surface blinks on and then off. An observer on Mars measures that the signal light was on for 75.0 碌 s. (a) Does the observer on Mars or the pilot on the spaceship measure the proper time? (b) What is the duration of the light pulse measured by the pilot of the spaceship?
