3 The components of a 15-meters-per-secondvelocity at an angle of 60.° above the horizontal
are
(1) 7.5 m/s vertical and 13 m/s horizontal
(2) 13 m/s vertical and 7.5 m/s horizontal
(3) 6.0 m/s vertical and 9.0 m/s horizontal
(4) 9.0 m/s vertical and 6.0 m/s horizontal

Answer 1

Answer: First draw a picture to help make the problem easier. (see attached)

Next you can use sin and cos to find the x and y components of the velocity.

First lets find the vertical component:
$sin = (opp)/(hyp)$
$sin(60) = (y)/(15m/s)$
Multiply both sides by 15m/s
$15m/s * sin(60) = y$
y ≈ 13 m/s

Now you can find the horizontal component:
$cos = (adj)/(hyp)$
$cos(60) = (x)/(15m/s)$
Multiply both sides by 15m/s
$15m/s * cos(60) - x$
x = 7.5

Therefore the answer is 2, the vertical (y) component is 13m/s and the horizontal (x) component is 7.5m/s.

Further explanation

Vector is a quantity that has a magnitude and direction.

A vector in a cartesian coordinate is represented by an arrow in which the slope of the arrow shows the direction of the vector and the length of the arrow shows the magnitude of the vector.

$\texttt{ }$

A position vector of a point is a vector drawn from the base point of the coordinates O (0,0) to that point.

The addition of two vectors can be done in the following ways:

$\overrightarrow {AB} + \overrightarrow {BC} = \overrightarrow {AC}$

A negative vector is a vector with the same magnitude but in opposite direction.

$\overrightarrow {AB} = -\overrightarrow {BA}$

Let's tackle the problem!

Given:

magnitude of the velocity = v = 15 m/s

direction of the velocity = θ = 60°

Asked:

horizontal component of the velocity = v_x = ?

vertical component of the velocity = v_y = ?

Solution:

Firstly , we will calculate the horizontal component of the velocity as follows:

$v_x = v \cos \theta$

$v_x = 15 * \cos 60^o$

$v_x = 15 * (1)/(2)$

$\boxed {v_x = 7.5 \texttt{ m/s}}$

$\texttt{ }$

Next , we will calculate the vertical component of the velocity as follows:

$v_y = v \sin \theta$

$v_y = 15 * \sin 60^o$

$v_y = 15 * (1)/(2) √(3)$

$v_y = 7.5 √(3) \texttt{ m/s}$

$\boxed {v_y \approx 13 \texttt{ m/s}}$

Describe two reasons why an alpha particle is less penetrating than a beta or gamma particle.

Answers

Alpha particles travel through the air they collide with oxygen and nitrogen molecules. While they collide with these molecules, they lose some energy until all energy are used up and they are absorbed. These particles can be absorbed by a sheet of paper or by the air. On the other hand, beta particles and gamma particles move faster than the alpha particles and are poor at ionizing atoms or molecules thus it takes more of the material to be able to absorb these particles.

Answer:

1. Heavy mass

2. greater charge

Explanation:

An alpha particle has two protons and two neutrons. It has +2 e charge. It is a heavy mass particle. Thus, when it tends to penetrate even a thin sheet, it loses its energy very quickly because of its interaction with the material particles.

Beta particle is a high energy electron or positron. It carries 1 unit charge and has very less mass in comparison to an alpha particle. Thus, it has more penetrating power than alpha particle.

A gamma particle is charge less and mass less highly energetic particle. Thus, it has highest penetrating power.
