Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of days that it will take.

7/8 km per 1 day

14 km per x day

We have to solve the equation:

$\frac{x}{1} =\frac{14}{\left( \frac{7}{8} \right) }$

$\Longrightarrow x=14\times \frac{8}{7} =2\times 8=16$

Given two vectors A=2i+3j+4k,B=i-2j+3k find the magnitude and direction of sum<br>(physics question)

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

$Magnitude =\sqrt{59} \\\\Direction \: of \: \overrightarrow{A + B} = \frac{3}{\sqrt {59}} , \:\frac{1}{\sqrt {59}} , \:\frac{7}{\sqrt {59}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A=2i+3j+4k

B=i-2j+3k

Sum of the vectors:

A + B = 2i+3j+4k + i-2j+3k = 3i + j + 7k

$Magnitude =\sqrt{3^2 + 1^2+ 7^2} \\\\Magnitude =\sqrt{9+1+49} \\\\Magnitude =\sqrt{59}$

Direction of the sum of the vectors:

$\widehat{A + B} =\frac{\overrightarrow{A + B}}{Magnitude\: of \:\overrightarrow{A + B}} \\\\\widehat{A + B} =\frac{3i + j + 7k}{\sqrt {59}} \\\\\widehat{A + B} =\frac{3}{\sqrt {59}} i +\frac{1}{\sqrt {59}} j+\frac{7}{\sqrt {59}} k\\\\Direction \: of \: \overrightarrow{A + B} = \frac{3}{\sqrt {59}} , \:\frac{1}{\sqrt {59}} , \:\frac{7}{\sqrt {59}} \\\\$
