Answer:

Explanation:

Generally, length of vector means the magnitude of the vector.

So, given a vector

R = a•i + b•j + c•k

Then, it magnitude can be caused using

|R|= √(a²+b²+c²)

So, applying this to each of the vector given.

(a) 2i + 4j + 3k

The length is

L = √(2²+4²+3²)

L = √(4+16+9)

L = √29

L = 5.385 unit

(b) 5i − 2j + k

Note that k means 1k

The length is

L = √(5²+(-2)²+1²)

Note that, -×- = +

L = √(25+4+1)

L = √30

L = 5.477 unit

Note that, since there is no component j implies that j component is 0

L = 2i + 0j - 1k

The length is

L = √(2²+0²+(-1)²)

L = √(4+0+1)

L = √5

L = 2.236 unit

(d) 5i

Same as above no is j-component and k-component

L = 5i + 0j + 0k

The length is

L = √(5²+0²+0²)

L = √(25+0+0)

L = √25

L = 5 unit

(e) 3i − 2j − k

The length is

L = √(3²+(-2)²+(-1)²)

L = √(9+4+1)

L = √14

L = 3.742 unit

(f) i + j + k

The length is

L = √(1²+1²+1²)

L = √(1+1+1)

L = √3

L = 1.7321 unit

A very long half-cylinder of radius r carries a total current is uniformly distributed across the circumference. Determine the m

Rufina [12.5K]

The magnetic field along the central axis of the cylinder will be <em>determined </em>using the formula given that all parameters are known

$dBz=\frac{uoR^2di}{2r^3}$

<h3>Magnetic field </h3>

Generally, A magnetic field is also referred to as a vector field that shows the magnetic presence on electric charges and magnetic materials.

The formula for magnetic field is

Where

$u=4\pi*10^{-7H/M}$

Therefore, the magnetic field along the central axis of the cylinder will be determined using the formula given that all parameters are known

A small rubber ball is launched by a compressed-air cannon from ground level with an initial speed of 17.3 m/s directly upward.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

h=15.27m

Explanation:

Since at maximum height the vertical velocity must be null it's better to use the formula:

$v_f^2=v_i^2+2ad$

We will use this formula for the vertical direction, choosing the upward direction as the positive one, so we have:

$0=v_i^2+2ah$

$h=-\frac{v_i^2}{2a}$

which for our values is:

$h=-\frac{(17.3m/s)^2}{2(-9.8m/s^2)}=15.27m$

When is a secondary source more helpful than a primary source?

UNO [17]

Answer:

I think the answer is C.

Explanation:

A primary source is a first hand account of an event while a secondary source is a retelling or second hand account meaning as many details will be prevalent.
