To find the magnitude of the position vector \(\vec{r} = (6.0 \, \text{m}) \hat{i} - (4.0 \, \text{m}) \hat{j} + (3.0 \, \text{m}) \hat{k}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the components of the vector The position vector \(\vec{r}\) has three components: - \(x\)-component: \(6.0 \, \text{m}\) (along \(\hat{i}\)) - \(y\)-component: \(-4.0 \, \text{m}\) (along \(\hat{j}\)) - \(z\)-component: \(3.0 \, \text{m}\) (along \(\hat{k}\)) ...

In a particle accelerator, the position vector of a particle is initially estimated as vecr=6.0hati-7.0hatj+3.0hatk and after 10 s, it is estimated to be vecr=-3.0hati+9.0hatj-3.0hatk , all in meters. In unit vector notation, what is the average velocity of the particle?

A constant force vecF=(3hati+2hatj+2hatk) N acts on a particle displacing it from a position vec(r_1)=(-hati+hatj-2hatk)m to a new position vecr_2=(hati-hatj+3hatk)m . Find the work done by the force.

Force vecF=(2.0N)hati-(3.0N)hatk acts on a pebble with position vector vecr=(0.50m)hatj-(2.0m)hatk relative to the origin. In unit-vector notation, what is the resulting torque on the pebble about the origin ?
