Explanation of Solution

Given data:

  A=4i,B=6i+6j

Formula Used:

Consider vectors A and B are perpendicular the vector product of two vectors, that is,

  |A×B|=|A||B|sinϕ=|A||B|sin90o|A×B||A||B|=1.....(1)

Using scalar product of two vectors we can find angle between the vectors.

  |AB|=|A||B|cosϕϕ=cos1(AB|A||B|)

Calculation:

The vector product of vector A and B is

  A=4i,B=6i+6jA×B=(4i)×(6i+6j)=(4i×6i)+(4i×6j)=0+24k^=24k^

The magnitude of vector A and B are

  |A|=(4i^)2+02+02=4|B|=(6i^)2+(6j^)2+02=62|A||B|=4(62)=242|A×B|(|A||B|)=|24k^|242=0.707

Comparing with equation (1) , the vector A and B are not perpendicular.

The scalar product of vector A and B is

  AB=4i^(6i^+6j^)=24(i^i^)+24(i^j^)=24

The angle between the vectors A and B is

  ϕ=cos1(AB|A||B|)=cos1(24242)=cos1(12)=45o

Conclusion:

The angle between the vectors A and B is 45o .

Shrinking Loop. A circular loop of flexible iron wire has an initial circumference of 161 cm , but its circumference is decreasing at a constant rate of 15.0 cm/s due to a tangential pull on the wire. The loop is in a constant uniform magnetic field of magnitude 1.00 T , which is oriented perpendicular to the plane of the loop. Assume that you are facing the loop and that the magnetic field points into the loop. Find the magnitude of the emf E induced in the loop after exactly time 9.00 s has passed since the circumference of the loop started to decrease. Find the direction of the induced current in the loop as viewed looking along the direction of the magnetic field. Please explain all steps
Make up an application physics principle problem that provides three (3) significant equations based on the concepts of capacitors and ohm's law.
A straight horizontal garden hose 38.0 m long with an interior diameter of 1.50 cm is used to deliver 20oC water at the rate of 0.590 liters/s. Assuming that Poiseuille's Law applies, estimate the pressure drop (in Pa) from one end of the hose to the other.
