Answer: 56.44°

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Let u represent the current speed of the plane, <u>1.2 Mach</u>

<em>Converting to SI Units (m/s):</em>

= (1.2 mach)(340 ms^-1 / 1 Mach)

u  = 408 m/s

  • Speed of sound in air, v = 340 m/s

<u>Find:</u>

  • Angle the wave front of the shock wave relative to the plane's direction of motion, θ

We have, sinθ = speed of sound / speed of object

               sinθ = v / u

                   θ = sin^-1 (v / u)  

                      = sin^-1 (340 / 408)

                   θ = 56.44°

Light absorbed by a chlorophyll a causes A) an electron to move from the photon to the chlorophyll. B) an electron to move from
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

B) an electron to move from ground state to an excited state.

Explanation:

Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs electromagnetic radiation of the visible spectrum that is used in process of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll's function is to absorb electromagnetic radiation of the visible spectrum and it absorbs blue color radiation the best and green the worst as it reflects it. It absorbs electromagnetic radiation by absorbing the energy of the photon of light by a process called charge separation.

Charge separation is the process by which an electron gets to a higher energy state by absorbing the energy of a photon.

There are 2 concentric cylinders. These cylinders are very long with length L. The inner cylinder has a radius R1 and is a solid
OLga [1]
To get the charge along the inner cylinder, we use Gauss Law
E = d R1/2εo
For the outer cylinder the charge can be calculated using
E = d R2^2/2εoR1
where d is the charge density
Use these two equations to get the charge in between the cylinders and the capacitance between them.

A 100 N force is applied to a 500 kg crate resting on frictionless wheels.
Alla [95]

Answer:

<h2>0.2 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{100}{500}  =  \frac{1}{5}  = 0.2 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.2 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

Assuming motion is on a straight path, what would result in two positive components of a vector?
erastovalidia [21]
Assuming motion is on a straight path, the result of two positive components of a vector would also be a positive value since both are having positive signs and directions. The direction would be the same with the motion as well. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
