The displacement of Edward in the westerly direction is determined as 180.27 km.

<h3>Displacement of Edward</h3>

The displacement of Edward is calculated as follows;

R² = a² + b² - 2abcosθ

R² = 150² + 200² - 2(150 x 200) x cos60

R² = 32500

R = 180.27 km

Thus, the displacement of Edward in the westerly direction is determined as 180.27 km.

In the bohr model, what is the ratio of its kinetic energy to its potential energy?
stich3 [128]

The centrifugal force C = mv^2/r = kq^2/r^2 = P centripetal force. m is the electron mass, q are the proton and electron charges (opposites), and r is the Bohr radius.

Thus 1/2 mv^2/r = 1/2 kq^2/r^2 and KE = 1/2 mv^2 = 1/2 kq^2/r = 1/2 PE

Therefore KE/PE = 1/2, no matter what state the electron is in.

A 120-kg roller coaster cart is being tested on a new track, and a crash-test dummy is loaded into it. The roller coaster starts
avanturin [10]

Answer:

vb = 22.13 m/s

So, the only thing that was measured here was the height of point A relative to point B. And the Law of Conservation of Energy was used.

Explanation:

In order to find the speed of roller coaster at Point B, we will use the law of conservation of Energy. In this situation, the law of conservation of energy states that:

K.E at A + P.E at A = K.E at B + P.E at B

(1/2)mvₐ² + mghₐ = (1/2)m(vb)² + mg(hb)

(1/2)vₙ² + ghₐ = (1/2)(vb)² + g(hb)

where,

vₙ = velocity of roller coaster at point a = 0 m/s

hₙ = height of roller coaster at point a = 25 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

vb = velocity of roller coaster at point B = ?

hb = Height of Point B = 0 m (since, point is the reference point)

Therefore,

(1/2)(0 m/s)² + (9.8 m/s²)(25 m) = (1/2)(vb)² + (9.8 m/s²)(0 m)

245 m²/s² * 2 = vb²

vb = √(490 m²/s²)

<u>vb = 22.13 m/s</u>

<u>So, the only thing that was measured here was the height of point A relative to point B. And the Law of Conservation of Energy was used.</u>

Can someone help me ASAP
Phantasy [73]

Well I don't know.  Let's actually LOOK at the picture and see if that helps.

A,  B,  C,  and D all have the same TOTAL length, but  A  has the most waves crammed into that same total length.

By golly, that means the length of <u><em>each</em></u> wave in  A  must be shorter than each wave in  B,  C,  or D.

The correct choice is <em> A </em>.  Looking at the picture did the trick !

How are scientists able to predict when and where the next eclipse will occur?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

When the Earth and sun are perfectly lined up, then it will happen. They can tell when it's going to happen.

Explanation:

This is why it only happens in some places. Some days it's not sunny out, so it's not going to happen.

Consider electromagnetic waves in free space. What is the wavelength of a wave that has the following frequencies? (a) 4.10 x 10
navik [9.2K]

Explanation:

To find the answer use the equation speed of light=wavelength multiplied by frequency (c=lambda*f) by substituting the value for the frequency the the speed of light
