) is it possible for one component of a vector to be zero, while the vector itself is not zero?

1 answer:

8 0

The least number of component of a vector quantity is two. These are the x-component and the y-component.

The resultant vector, or vector as we refer to it in this item, can be calculated through the equation,
RV = sqrt ((Vx)² + (Vy)²)

From the equation, it can be noted that if we let Vx equal to zero,
RV = Vy

Similarly, if we let Vy be equal to zero then,
RV = Vx

Thus, it is still possible for the vector to become nonzero even if one of its components is zero.

Student pushes a 50 N block across the floor for a distance of 15 m how much work was done to move the block

Talja [164]

Answer:

750 J

Explanation:

We have a student that pushes a 50N block across the floor for a distance of 15m. The question is asking how much work was done to move the block.

To solve this, we must know that we are looking for a certain thing called joules. And to get the answer, we must follow the formula of W = FS

F being the force and S being the distance.

W = FS

W = (50)(15)

W = 750

Therefore, 750 joules is our answer.

Two boys are sliding toward each other on a frictionless, ice-covered parking lot. Jacob, mass 45 kg, is gliding to the right at

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

$v=0.3381\ m.s^{-1}$ in the direction of motion of Jacob

Explanation:

Given:

mass of Jacob, $m_j=45\ kg$

velocity of Jacob, $v_j=8.08\ m.s^{-1}$

mass of Ethan, $m_e=31\ kg$

velocity of Ethan, $v_e=10.9\ m.s^{-1}$

Now using the conservation of linear momentum for the case:

(When the two masses in motion combine to form one after the collision then they will move together in the direction of the greater momentum.)

$(m_j+m_e).v=m_j.v_j-m_e.v_e$

$(45+31)\times v=45\times 8.08-31\times 10.9$

$v=0.3381\ m.s^{-1}$ in the direction of motion of Jacob as it was assumed to be positive.

As the phase angle is decreased, the power factor is

Darina [25.2K]

The answer is increased. A power factor of one or "unity power factor" is the aim of any electric utility business from the time when if the power factor is less than one, they have to give more current to the user for an assumed amount of power use. In so doing, they gain more line harms.
