- (a) If AF=BF , can we conclude A=B ? (b) If AF=BF , can we conclude A=B ? (c) If FA=BF , can we conclude A=B ? Why or why not?arrow_forwardReview. The graph in Figure P7.20 specifies a functional relationship between the two variables u and v. (a) Find abudv. (b) Find baudv. (c) Find abvdu. Figure P7.20arrow_forwardA pirate has buried his treasure on an island with five trees located at the points (30.0 m, 20.0 m), (60.0 m, 80.0 m), (10.0 m, 10.0 m), (40.0 m, 30.0 m), and (70.0 m, 60.0 m), all measured relative to some origin, as shown in Figure P1.69. His ships log instructs you to start at tree A and move toward tree B, but to cover only one-half the distance between A and B. Then move toward tree C, covering one-third the distance between your current location and C. Next move toward tree D, covering one-fourth the distance between where you are and D. Finally move toward tree E, covering one-fifth the distance between you and E, stop, and dig. (a) Assume you have correctly determined the order in which the pirate labeled the trees as A, B, C, D, and E as shown in the figure. What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried? (b) What If? What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? What would happen to the answer if you rearranged the order of the trees, for instance, to B (30 m, 20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (10 m, 10 m), C (40 m, 30 m), and D (70 m, 60 m)? State reasoning to show that the answer does not depend on the order in which the trees are labeled. Figure 1.69arrow_forward
- Each of the following equations was given by a student during an examination: (a) 12mv2=12mv02+mgh (b) v = v0 + at2 (c) ma = v2. Do a dimensional analysis of each equation and explain why the equation cant be correct.arrow_forwardFigure 1.19 shows two vectors lying in the xy-plane. Determine the signs of the x- and y-components of A, B, and A+B.arrow_forwardMath Review Given the equations 507 = 147 Vf cos and 377 = 147 Vf sin , find (a) Vf by using the identity cos2 + sin2 = 1, and (b) by using the inverse tangent function. (Note: Some may consider it easier finding the angle first, and then Vf by back substitution.) (See Section 6.4.)arrow_forward
