On a piece of graph paper, draw arrows representing the following vectors. Make sure the tip and tail of each arrow you draw are clearly distinguishable. (a) Placing the tail of the vector at 5,2,0, draw an arrow representing the vectorp=7,3,0 Label itp . (b) Placing the tail of the vector at5,8,0 , draw an arrow representing the vectorp . Label it p.

Step by step solution

01

Drawing vector p→

(a) A vector is an element of a vector space. For many specific vector spaces, the vectors have received specific names, which are listed below. In general, a Euclidean vector is a geometric object with both length and direction.

Draw this vector (i.e.7,3,0 ) as follow, Start from the location 5,2,0, shift in the x-direction by 7 units, then shift in the +y-direction by 3 units, and remain in thex,y -plane since thez components are zero.

02

Drawing vector −p→

b.

Notice that the vector phas the same magnitude but points in exactly the opposite direction as the vector p.

If v=2,-3,5m/s, then what is-12v ?

Write the vector a=400,200,-100m/s2 as the product a-a.

(a) Which of the following do you see moving with constant velocity? (1) A ship sailing northeast at a speed of 5 meters per second (2) The Moon orbiting the Earth (3) A tennis ball traveling across the court after having been hit by a tennis racket (4) A can of soda sitting on a table (5) A person riding on a Ferris wheel that is turning at a constant rate. (b) In which of the following situations is there observational evidence for significant interaction between two objects? How can you tell? (1) A ball bounces off a wall with no change in speed. (2) A baseball that was hit by a batter flies toward the outfield. (3) A communications satellite orbits the Earth. (4) A space probe travels at constant speed toward a distant star. (5) A charged particle leaves a curving track in a particle detector.

In the periodic table on the inside front cover of this book (or one you find on the internet), for each element there is given the "atomic number," the number of protons or electrons in an atom, and the "atomic mass," which is essentially the number of nucleons, protons plus neutrons, in the nucleus, averaged over the various isotopes of the element, which differ in the number of neutrons. Make a graph of the number of neutrons vs. the number of protons in the elements. You needn't graph every element, just enough to see the trend. What do you observe about the data? (This reflects the need for more neutrons in proton-rich nuclei in order to prevent the electric repulsion of the protons of each other from destroying the nucleus.)

Question: Moving objects left the traces labeled A-F in Figure 1.54. The dots were deposited at equal time intervals (for example, one dot each second). In each case the object starts from the square. Which trajectories show evidence that the moving object was interacting with another object somewhere? If there is evidence of an interaction, what is the evidence?
