- The two-dimensional vectors A and B both have magnitudes of 7.00 m. If A+B=4.00m, what is the angle between A and B?arrow_forwardA baseball diamond consists of four plates arranged in a square. Each side of the square is 90 ft (27.43 m) long. Use an x y coordinate system with the origin at the center of the diamond as shown in Figure P3.18. a. What is the position of each plate in this system? b. What is the distance from home plate to second base?arrow_forwardVector F is proportional to vector A such that F=mA and m is a scalar. a. If A=2.4+3.0j and F=4.0+5.0j, what is m? b. Why is it impossible to have A=2.4+3.0j and F=4.0+0.50j, given the relationship between the two vectors?arrow_forward

During the final second of its fall, it traverses a distance of 38m. Determine h. I would like to know the solution but also maybe an explanation on how I would know what process to take. For the last second, I was able to find that final vf = 38m/s. That is vf = deltax/deltat, or 38m/1s. I plugged it in to vf2 = vo2 + 2a(deltax), since I think that vf shouldn't change for h, but I got the wrong answer. Please explain.arrow_forward

Their directions relative to the positive direction of the x axis are 30.0 °, 192 and 311 °, respectively. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the angle of the vector a + b + ć (relative to the +x direction in the range of (-180°, 180°)), and (c the magnitude and (d) the angle of á - b + c in the range of (-180°, 180°)? What are (e) the magnitude and (f) the angle (in the range of (-180°, 180°)) of a fourth vector d such that (a + b)-+d) = 0?
