In class, we had defined the unit vector ?̂ as a vector tangential to unit vector ? in the counterclockwise direction when the radial line makes an angle ∅ with the x-axis. Decompose unit vector ?̂ in terms of unit vectors ?̂ and ?̂.

(unit vector problem)

The answer to this question is

− sin(∅) ?̂ + cos(∅) ŷ

Maybe you can explain this answer?

GOAL Use the superposition principle to calculate the electric field due to two point charges. Consider the following figure. The resultant electric field  at P equals the vector sum 1 + 2, where 1 is the field due to the positive charge q1and 2 is the field due to the negative charge q2.Two point charges lie along the x-axis in the x y-coordinate plane. Positive charge q1 is at the origin, and negative charge q2 is at (0.300 m, 0). Point...

The diagram below shows a block of mass m=2.00kgm=2.00kg on a frictionless horizontal surface, as seen from above. Three forces of magnitudes F1=4.00NF1=4.00N, F2=6.00NF2=6.00N, and F3=8.00NF3=8.00N are applied to the block, initially at rest on the surface, at angles shown on the diagram. (Figure 1) In this problem, you will determine the resultant (total) force vector from the combination of the three individual force vectors. All angles should be measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis (i.e., all angles are...

a) At a certain instant, a rotating turbine wheel of radius R has angular speed ω (measured in rad/s). What must be the magnitude α of its angular acceleration (measured in rad/s2) at this instant if the acceleration vector a⃗ of a point on the rim of the wheel makes an angle of exactly 30∘ with the velocity vector v⃗ of that point? Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables R and ω. b) At...

Your task will be to derive the equations describing the velocity and acceleration in a polar coordinate system and a rotating polar vector basis for an object in general 2D motion starting from a general position vector. Then use these expressions to simplify to the case of non-uniform circular motion, and finally uniform circular motion. Here's the time-dependent position vector in a Cartesian coordinate system with a Cartesian vector basis: ⃗r(t)=x (t) ̂ i+y(t) ̂ j where x(t) and y(t)...

The graph of f(x)=−10x+e5sin(x)f(x)=−10x+e5sin⁡(x) is rotated counterclockwise about the origin through an acute angle θθ. What is the largest value of θθ for which the rotated graph is still the graph of a function? What about if the graph is rotated clockwise? To answer this question we need to find the maximal slope of y=f(x)y=f(x), which is  , and the minimal slope which is  . Thus the maximal acute angle through which the graph can be rotated counterclockwise is θ=θ= degrees. Thus...

I did an “Eggsperiment” with a fellow instructor one day. His calculus class was studying volumes of solids by rotating curves around the x-axis. We first modeled the volume of an egg as an ellipsoid, measured the eggs with calipers, and used the calculus formula. Then, each egg was also measured for volume using a water displacement method. We wanted to know if the two methods agreed or not. The question we want to answer in this activity: “Is there...
