(a) In figure 1.58, what are the components of the vector d?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The component of the vector d=-6,3,2.

Step by step solution

01

Vector components

The vector has three components. These three components are the unit cut by the vector on x, y and z axis. The vector components can be represented by the following manner.

Let the vector is r, then the vector component of the vector r will be,

r=rx,ry,rz

Where, rxisxaxisunit,ryisyunit,rziszcomponentunit.

02

(a) Component of vector d→

All the vectors have zero z component here because the z dimension is absent. The component for the vector a covering the 4 unit of x axis and 3 unit of y axis in 3rd coordination centre of the graph hence the component of the vector d=-6,3,2.

A steel safe with mass 2200kg falls onto concrete. Just before hitting the concrete its speed is 40m/s , and it smashes without rebounding and ends up being 0.06m shorter than before. What is the approximate magnitude of the force exerted on the safe by the concrete? How does this compare with the gravitational force of the Earth on the safe? Explain your analysis carefully, and justify your estimates on physical grounds.

A device consisting of four heavy balls connected by low-mass rods is free to rotate about an axle, as shown in (Figure 11.98). It is initially not spinning. A small bullet traveling very fast buries itself in one of the balls.m=0.002kg, v=550m/s, M1=1.2kgM2=0.4kgm=0.002kg,R1=0.6mand R2=0.2m.The axle of the device is at the origin <0,0,0> and the bullet strikes at location <0.155,0.580,0>m .Just after the impact, what is the angular speed of the device? Note that this is an inelastic collision; the system’s temperature increases.

You observe three carts moving to the left. Cart A moves to the left at nearly constant speed. Cart B moves to the left, gradually speeding up. Cart C moves to the left, gradually slowing down. Which cart or carts, if any, experience a net force to the left?
