Number of beats (n) =f2- f1

= 256 - 250

= 6 beats /sec

If a vector A is multiplied by a real number (say n), the vector of same nature is obtained but its magnitude is n times that of A.

No, if three vectors do not lie in a plane, they cannot give zero resultant.

Explanation:

Let A, B and C be three vectors. If they give zero resultant, then

     A+B+C=0

or, A= -(B+C)

Hence, they will produce zero resultant, if A is equal to negative of vector (B+C). The vector (B+C) lies in the plane of B and C. Hence, A will be equal to negative of (B+C) if A, B and C all lie in a plane.

Here, the given equation of parabola is y²= 8x.

The equation of tangent to the parabola y²=8x is,

y= mx + 2/m

This tangent passes through the point (-2, 3)

So, 3 = -2m + 2/m

or, 3m + 2m² = 2

or, 2m²+3m - 2= 0

or, 2m² + (4 - 1)m -2 = 0

or, 2m² + 4m - m - 2 = 0

or, 2m(m + 2) - 1(m+2) = 0

or, (m + 2) (2m - 1) = 0

Either, Or,

m = -2 m = 1/2

Required angle is,

If vectors are arranged as trigonal planar and have equal magnitude, it is an ideal case of zero resultant.
