Answer:
[tex]v_{PB} = 130\ km/h[/tex]
Explanation:
Since, Alex is at rest. Therefore, the speed measured by him will be the absolute speed of car P. Therefore, taking easterly direction as positive:
[tex]Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Car\ P = v_{P} = -78\ km/h[/tex]
And the absolute velocity of Barbara's Car is given as:[tex]Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Barbara's\ Car = v_{B} = 52\ km/h[/tex]
Now, for the velocity of Car p with respect to the velocity of Barbara's Car can be given s follows:
[tex]Velocity\ of\ Car\ P\ measured\ by\ Barbara = v_{PB} = v_{B}-v_{P}\\\\v_{PB} = 52\ km/h-(-78\ km/h)[/tex]
[tex]v_{PB} = 130\ km/h[/tex]
A student adds two vectors of magnitudes 48 m and 22 m. What are the maximum and minimum possible values for the resultant of these two vectors.
Answer:
Maximum=70 m
Minimum=26 m
Explanation:
Vector Addition
Since vectors have magnitude and direction, adding them takes into consideration not only the magnitudes but also their respective directions. Two vectors can be totally collaborative, i.e., point to the same direction, or be totally opposite. In the first case, the magnitude of the sum is at maximum. Otherwise, it's at a minimum.
Thus, the maximum magnitude of the sum is 48+22 = 70 m and the minimum magnitude of the sum is 48-22= 26 m
