I have a physics question that for some reason I cant get the right answer to. Vector A has a magnitude of 12.0 m and an angle of 53.0'; Vector B has a magnitude of 6.00 m and an angle of 240'; Vector C has a magnitude of 15.0 m and an angle of -40.0'; PART A: find the magnitude of the vector R that is the sum of the...

The magnitude of a value is a measure of how large or small it is, without regards to it's direction. To find the magnitude of an object, take the absolute value. The magnitude of 123 is 123. The magnitude of -123 is 123, etc. If you're try...

High energy scattering off of an attractive potential can be handled by the WKB approximation. ... apply WKB to U(r)= for the S-wave ... Then This means In the limit of high energy, for V 0, you get 0 = a phase advance.
