Answer 1

Complete Question

A proton is located at <3 x 10^{-10}, -5*10^{-10} , -5*10^{-10}> m. What is r, the vector from the origin to the location of the proton

Answer:

The vector position is
`\=r=<3*10^(-10)i-5*10^(-10)j -5*10^(-10)k>`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The position of the proton is
`<3 * 10^(-10), -5*10^(-10)  , -5*10^(-10)> m`

Generally the vector location of the proton is mathematically represented as

`\= r = <xi  + yj  + zk>`

So substituting values

`\=r=<3*10^(-10)i-5*10^(-10)j -5*10^(-10)k>`
