4.27 No in the both the cases.

A physical quantity which is having both direction and magnitude is not necessarily a vector. For instance, in spite of having direction and magnitude, current is a scalar quantity. The basic necessity for a physical quantity to fall in a vector category is that it ough

4.26 Yes and No

A vector in space has no distinct location. The reason behind this is that a vector stays unchanged when it displaces in a way that its direction and magnitude do not change.

A vector changes with time. For instance, the velocity vector of a ball moving with a specific speed fluctuates

(d)

We can write

OS + PS > OP …….(i)

OS > PS – OP …….(ii)

a?-b? > a? + b? ….(iii)

The quantity on the LHS is always positive and that on the RHS can be positive or negative. To make both quantities positive, we take modulus of both sides as:

a?-b? > a?-b? ….(iv)

If the two vectors

Ans.4.21:

(a) Velocity , v? = 10.0 ? m/s

Acceleration, a? = (8.0 ? + 2.0 ?) m s-2

We know a? = dv?dt = 8.0 ? + 2.0 ?

dv? = (8.0 ? + 2.0 ?)dt

Integrating both sides we get v? (t) = 8.0t ? + 2.0t ? + u? ,

Where, u?= velocity vector of the particle at t =0

v?= velocity vector of the particle at time t

But v? = ?drdt

dr? = v? dt

= (8.0t ? + 2.0t ? + u? )dt

Integrating both sides with the condition at t = 0, r =0 and at t =t, r = r

r?= u? t + ½ × 8.0 t2 ? + ½ × 2.0 × t2 ? = u? t + 4.0 t2 ? + t2 ?

Substituting the value of u? , we get

r?= ( 10.0 ?)t + 4.0 t2 ? + t2 ? . This equation can be expressed as

x ? + y ? = 4.0 t2 ? + ( 10.0t + t2) ?

Since the motion of the particle is confined to the x-y plane, on equating the coefficients of ? and ?, we get

x = 4.0 t2 and y = 10.0t + t2

t = x/4

(a) When x = 16m, t = 2 s, y = 24m

(b) Velocity of the particle

v? (t) = 8.0t ? + 2.0t ? + u?

At t = 2 s,

v? (t) = 8.0 × 2 ? + 2.0 ×2 ? + 10 × ? = 16 ? + 14 ?

The magnitude of v? (t) is given by

v? = ( 162 + 142)1/2 = 21.26 m/s

4.25

Height of the aircraft from the ground = 3400m

Let A and B be the positions of the aircraft, making an angle of AOB = 30 ° . The perpendicular OC and OC is the height of the aircraft. Angles AOC = angle BOC = 15 °

In AOC, AC = OC tan
15°
 = 3400 tan? 15° = 911.03m

AB = AC + CB = 2AC = 1
