between points in a plane do not change when a coordinate system is rotated In other words, the magnitude of a vector Is invariant under rotations of the coordinate system. Suppose a coordinate system S is rotated about its origin by angle to become a new coordinate system S’, as shown in the following figure. A point in a plane has coordinates (x,y)in S and coordinates (x,y) in S’. (a) Show that, during the transformation of rotation, the coordinates in S are expressed in terms of the coordinates in S by the following relations: {x=xcos+ysiny=xsin+ycos (b) Show that the distance of point Pto the origin is invariant under rotations of the coordinate system. Here, you have to show that x2+y2=x2+y2. (c) Show that the distance between points Pand Q is invariant under rotations of the coordinate system. Here, you have to show that ( xP =xQ )2+( yP yQ )2=( xP =xQ )2+( yP yQ )2 .
Let us name three perpendicular directions as right, up, and toward you as you might name them when you are facing a television screen that lies in a vertical plane. Unit vectors for these directions are r, u, and t, respectively. Consider the quantity (3u2t). (i) Is the magnitude of this vector (a) 6, (b) 3, (c) 2, or (d) 0? (ii) Is the direction of this vector (a) down, (b) toward you, (c) up, (d) away from you, or (e) left?
Can you please show vector diagram and explain how to find The direction and angles for this problem in detail please ?
Answer the following questions using the prescribed format and provide complete and neat solution to each of theproblems. May I clarify 2b. There is a correction on the hint provided what we are trying to do is project BC to vector BA (component of BC on BA), hence it should be uBA dot BC NOT uBA dot AC. vector AC should not be used 2) On figure 3 and 4, a vector quantity (AC), presumably a force, is placed on point B and is pointing towards pointC. The coordinates of point C is (5.5, 2, 6.3)a) What is the vector representation of BC?b) What is the magnitude of the component of BC along BA?Hint get the unit vector of BA, then get the dot product of (unit vector of BA) and the (vector BC).
Hello I was wondering why the angle is drawn between vector r and y-axis instead of x-axis, and how do you know when to do that when you're reading problems?
Illustrate the given vectors below. Use protractors if you have. If you don't have, you are allowed to estimate the angle of the vector with respect to its origin and the x-axis.
I am confused on how to start this problem. I know I need to use the y(x,t)=Asin(kx+wt+phi) formula, but do I need to take the derivative of that once I enter in all the variables? I am referenceing the problem 14 in the pic I attached. Thanks!
A fly enters through an open window and zooms around the room. In a Cartesian coordinate system with three axes along three edges of the room, the fly changes its position from point b(4.0m,1.5m,2.5m) to point e(1.0m,4.5in,0.5m) . Find the scalar components of the fly’s displacement vector and express its displacement vector in vector component form. What is its magnitude?
Let the four compass directions north, east, south, and west be represented by unit vectors ne . . and respectively. Vertically up and down are represented as u and d. Let us also identify unit vectors that are halfway between these directions such as for northeast. Rank the magnitudes of the following cross products from largest to smallest. If any are equal in magnitude or are equal to zero, show that in your ranking, (a) (b) (c) (d) (e)
