- Vector A has x and y components of 8.70 cm and 15.0 cm, respectively; vector B has x and y components of 13.2 cm and 6.60 cm, respectively. If AB+3C=0, what are the components of C?arrow_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_forwardgiven that A+2B = x1i +y1j and 2A-B = x2i + y2j what is A?arrow_forward

- The following times are given using metric prefixes on the base SI unit of time: the second. Rewrite them in scientific notation without the prefix (in s). For example, 47 Ts would be rewritten as 4.7 ✕ 1013 s.

Can you be so kind and detail the steps and math calculations. Thanks!!arrow_forwardIf a distance d has units of meters, and a time T has units of seconds, does the quantity T + d make sense physically? What aboutthe quantity d>T?
