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°

Explain what each quantum number in a quantum number set tells you about the electron. Compare and contrast the locations and pr
Allisa [31]
There are four quantum numbers:
1) Principal quantum number which tells the shell in which the electron is and is an integer number starting from 1. Both of these electrons are in the same shell, the third.

2) Azimuthal quantum number which tells the subshell of the electron. This has a value of an integer starting from 0, 0 being the s orbital. The first electron is in the d orbital due to the number being 2 and the second is in the p orbital due to the number being 1.

3) Magnetic quantum number tells the orbital within the subshell. The first electron is in the -1 orbital of the d subshell (which has values from -2 to 2) and the second is in the -1 orbital of the p subshell (which has values from -1 to 1).

4) Spin quantum number which specifies the spin on the electron, both of the electrons have the same spin.

Climates on Earth get _____ as you move from the equator to the poles.
andreev551 [17]
The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be the last option: COLDER. Climates on Earth get colder <span>as you move from the equator to the poles. The places that are located near or on the equator experience the warmest or the hottest climates such as Africa. Hope this answer helps. </span>

How much work is done in holding a 10 newton sack of potatoes while waiting in line at the grocery store for 3 minutes.​
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

W = F × s

F = 10 N,

t = 3min = 180sec

s = 0( no change in postion)

W = 10 ×0

W = 0

A penny rides on top of a piston as it undergoes vertical simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 4.0cm. If the frequency is
aniked [119]

1) At the moment of being at the top, the piston will not only tend to push the penny up but will also descend at a faster rate at which the penny can reach in 'free fall', in that short distance. Therefore, at the highest point, the penny will lose contact with the piston. Therefore the correct answer is C.

2) To solve this problem we will apply the equations related to the simple harmonic movement, hence we have that the acceleration can be defined as

a = -\omega^2 A

Where,

a = Acceleration

A = Amplitude

\omega= Angular velocity

From a reference system in which the downward acceleration is negative due to the force of gravity we will have to

a = -g

-\omega^2 A = -g

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{A}}

From the definition of frequency and angular velocity we have to

\omega = 2\pi f

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{A}}

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{4*10^{-2}}}

f = 2.5Hz

Therefore the maximum frequency for which the penny just barely remains in place for the full cycle is 2.5Hz
