tail in the origin and sticking out in the positive x, y and z directions. Show the angles between A
and the positive x, y and z axes, and call these angles α₁, α₂ and α3

Draw a third quadrant vector C. (remember that boldface characters represent vector
quantities). Show the standard angle 0 for this vector (= angle that C makes with the positive x-
axis). Also show the angle that C makes with the negative y-axis: call the latter angle 8. Finally,
show the smallest angles that C makes with the positive x-axis and the positive y-axis: call these
angles p1 and p2, repectively.
a) Prove the following formulas for the components of C involving the standard angle (hint:
start with the formulas for the components based on the angle & and then use (look up if
necessary) co-function identities linking cosine and sine of 8 to sine and cosine of 0 since 8 =
3π/2-8 (this will switch cosine and sine around and eliminate - signs as well))

- Notation matters when working with vectors! In particular, it is important to distinguish between the vector itself (A) and its magnitude (A). Illustrate in four separate sketches that each of the following statements is possible: a) both R = A + B and R=A+B are correct b) R = A + B is correct, but R=A+B is incorrect c) R = A + B is incorrect, but R=A+B is correct d) both R = A + B and R=A+B are incorrectarrow_forwardYou know from your math courses that an infinitesimal segment of a circular arc can be considered as a straight line segment. Imagine that you cover a full circle in, say, the clockwise direction, with infinitesimal displacement vectors dr. Then evaluate fdr and fdr (the circle symbol on the integral just reminds us that we have to go around the full circle).arrow_forwardWhen 1.00 g of water at 100˚C changes from the liquid to the gas phase at atmospheric pressure, its change in volume is: 1.67 x 10^-3 How much heat is added to vaporize the water?

- Namor, from Wakanda Forever, sits on a throne at the bottom of the ocean in a city called Talocan (and Atlantis in the comics). Assuming he, including his gold headdress, has a density of 1085 kg/m3 and that Namor is surrounded by salt water with a density of 1027 kg/m3, what is Namor’s normal force while sitting underwater?

Judging by the time Maui and Moana spend falling through the water, it seems they dive 3440. ft deep. Assume the portal is non-magical salt-water, with a density of 1027 kg/m^3. Given that the air pressure above the portal is 1.013 ⋅10^5 Pa, what is the pressure when they are 3440. ft deep? 1 m = 3.28 ft. Moana would have a surface area of 1.30 m2.

It's not on rollers, so there is a lot of friction. At time t = 0 seconds, he starts pushing it from rest with increasing force until it starts to move at t = 2 seconds. He pushes the file cabinet down the hall with varying amounts of force. The velocity versus time graph of the cabinet is shown below. A. On the graphs provided below, 1. draw the net force vs. time that would produce this velocity graph; 2. draw the friction force vs. time for this motion; 3. draw the applied force (Fon Cabinet by Bob) VS. time for this motion (the first two seconds of this graph have been drawn for you).
