If the velocity of a particle is measured to be 0.5 in natural units/c-1), what is the
velocity in SI units (m/s)?
Your Answer:
Car A is moving east at 63 kph while Car B is moving in the direction of N 45° E. For a passenger in Car A, B appears to be moving away in a direction of N 30° W. Solve for the velocity, in kph, that B appears to the passengers in A. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
Equation 2.96:
[Sx, Sy] = iħ(Sz)
[Sy, Sz] = iħ(Sx)
[Sz, Sx] = iħ(Sy)
Equation 2.103: S2 = S2x + S2y + S2z

- Hello, Can I please have help regarding this problem ? Thanks. Suppose that the clock on our lecture room has a minute-hand length of 10 cm.(Use a coordinate system with the origin at center of clock and +x axis along the3PM direction and the +y direction along the 12PM direction). From the 12 to 8mark, for the tip of the minute hand:a) Sketch a vector diagram labeling ri, rf, Δr, Vi, Vf, and ΔV.b) Calculate the displacement vector in unit-vector notation.c) Calculate the average velocity vector in unit-vector notation.d) Calculate the average acceleration vector in unit-vector notation.e) Calculate magnitude and direction of the average acceleration vector.f) Calculate the magnitude and direction of the total acceleration of the tip ofthe minute hand at the 6 mark.arrow_forwardThe reason we typically use rectangular coordinates for two-dimensional or three-dimensional motion is that all the axes are orthogonal to each other. That is if we have unit vectors x^,y^,z^, then: (1) x^⋅y^=x^⋅z^=y^⋅z^=0 So as long as your coordinate system uses axes that are all orthogonal to each other, you can use any coordinate system!For example, we can use the following coordinate systems: POLAR COORDINATES f(r,θ): Ax=rcosθ Ay=rsinθ Explain how Equation (1) applies to polar coordinates?arrow_forwardQ.

(i) What are ax(t) and ay(t), the x- and y-components of the velocity of the car as functions of time? (ii) What are the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the car at t=8s? (iii) What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the car at t=8s? [Use basic definition of acceleration]arrow_forward
