a. Aster is 56.3 m at 3.16° north-east from her initial position

b. She has to head to 183.16° or 86.84° south of west to return to her initial position

<h3>a. How to calculate how far Aster's final position from her initial position?</h3>

Let Aster's initial position be represented by the vector r = 0i + 0j

Since she then walks walks first 70 m in the direction 37° north of east, let this displacement be represented by the vector u = (70sin37°)i + (70cos37°)j

=  (70 0.6018)i + (70 0.7986)j

= 42.13i + 55.9j

Also, she then walks  82 m in the direction 20° south of east. Let this displacement be represented by the vector v = (82sin20°)i - (82cos20°)j

= -(82 0.3420)i + (82 0.9397)j

= 28.05i - 77.05j

Finally, she walks 28 m in the direction 30° west of north. Let this displacement be represented by the vector, w = -(28sin30°)i + (28cos30°)j = -(28 0.5)i + (28 0.8660)j

= -14i + 24.25j m

So, the total displacement is R = r + u + v + w

= 42.13i + 55.9j + 28.05i + (-77.05)j +  (-14)i + 24.25j m

= 56.18i + 3.1j

So, how far she walks is the magnitude of R. The magnitude of a vector Z = xi + yj is Z = √(x² + y²)

So, the magnitude of R = √((56.18)² + (3.1)²)

= √(3156.19 + 9.61)

= √3165.8

= 56.3 m

<h3>Her direction from final position to initial position</h3>

The direction of a vector Z = xi + yj is given by Ф = tan⁻¹ (y/x)

So, the direction of R is Ф' = tan⁻¹ (3.1/56.18)

= tan⁻¹ (0.0552)

= 3.16°

So, Aster is 56.3 m at 3.16° north-east from her initial position

<h3>b. What direction would she has to head to return to her initial position?​</h3>

To return to her original position, the displacement vector is V = r - R

= 0i + 0j - (56.18i + 3.1j)

= -56.18i - 3.1j

So, the direction of V is Ф" = tan⁻¹ (-3.1/-56.18)

= tan⁻¹ (0.0552)

= 3.16°

Since this is in the third quadrant, we have that the direction she must go to return to her original position is α = 180° + 3.16°

= 183.16°

or 90° - 3.16°

= 86.84° south of west

So, she has to head to 183.16° or 86.84° south of west to return to her initial position

A speck of dust with mass 12 mg and electric charge 10 μC is released from rest in a uniform electric field of magnitude 850 N/C
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

a=708.3m/s^2

Explanation:

The force experimented by a charge <em>q </em>in a uniform electric field <em>E</em><em> </em>is <em>F=qE</em>.

Newton's 2nd Law tells us that the relation between acceleration <em>a</em> a mass <em>m </em>experiments when a force <em>F </em>is applied to it is <em>F=ma</em>.

Combining these equations we have <em>am=qE</em>, and since we want the acceleration of the speck of dust, we substitute our values:

a=\frac{qE}{m}=\frac{(10\times10^{-6}C)(850N/C)}{12\times10^{-6}Kg}=708.3m/s^2

DetermiOne of the lines in the Balmer series of the hydrogen atom emission spectrum is at 397 nm. It results from a transition f
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

a)n =7 , b) n = 5

Explanation:

The energy levels of the hydrogen atom is described by the Bohr model

       E_{n} = - 13.606   1/n²

This equation energy is given in elector volts and n is an integer

A transition occurs when the electro sees from a superior to a lower state

       E₀ - E_{n} = -13.606 (1/n_{f}² - 1/n₀²)

Let's apply this expression

         n₀ = 2

Let's look for the energy of the different levels and subtract it

n₀          E_{n} (eV)

1            -13,606

2            -3.4015

3           - 1.5118

4           -0.850375

5           -0.54424

6           -0.3779

7           -0.2777

The wavelength of the transition is 397 nm = 397 10⁻⁹ m

The speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

       c = λ f

The Planck equation gives the energy of a transition

      E = h f

      E = h c /λ

Let's calculate

     E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/397 10⁻⁹

     E = 5.01 10⁻¹⁹ J

Let's reduce to eV

     E = 5.01 10⁻¹⁹ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

     E = 3.1313 eV

Let's examine the possible transitions from the initial level ni = 2

     ΔE = E_{2} - E_{n} = -3.1313

     En = 3.13 -3.4015

     E_{n} = 0.2702 eV

When examining the table we see that the level that this energy has is the level of n = 7

Part B      the transition is in the infrared

The frequency is 74 10¹² Hz

We use the Planck equation

       E = h f

       E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 74 10¹²

       E = 4.9062 10⁻²⁰ J

       E = 4.9062 10⁻²⁰ / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

       E = 0.3066 eV

We look for the level with the energy difference

     ΔE = E₄- E_{n} = 0.3066

     E_{n} = 0.3066 - 0.85037

     E_{n} = -0.54376 eV

When examining the table this energy has the level n = 5, therefore from this level the transition occurs
