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°

Compare the magnitude of the electromagnetic and gravitational force between two electrons separated by a distance of 2.00 m. As
Lesechka [4]
First you need to know about two laws, which are:
1) Coulomb's law
2) Newton's law of gravitation

1.
According to Coulomb's law, Electric force between TWO charges is:
F_{e} =  \frac{k*q_{1}*q_{2}}{r^{2}} -- (A)

Where, k = 1/(4*π*epsilon_not) = 9 * 10^{9} \frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}

Both q_{1} and q_{2} = -1.61 x 10^{-19} C
r = Distance between the two charges = 2.00m

Plug-in the above values in (A), you would get:

F_{e} = (9 * 10^{9} ) (1.61 * 10^{-19}  * 1.61 * 10^{-19}) / (2*2)  

F_{e} = 5.83* 10^{-29} N

2.
According to Newton's law of gravitation:
F_{g} =  \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}} -- (B)

Where G = Gravitational constant = 6.674 * 10^{-11} m^{2} kg^{-1}s^{-2}

m1 = m2 = Mass of the electron = 9.11 * 10^{-31} kg
r = 2.0 m

Plug-in the above values in (B), you would get:

F_{g} = (6.674 * 10^{-11}) ( 9.11 * 10^{-31}  *  9.11 * 10^{-31}}[/tex]) / (2*2)  

F_{e} = 5.83* 10^{-29} N

F_{e} = 1.38 * 10^{-71} N

Now do Fe over Fg, you would get:
\frac{F_{e}}{F{g}}  = 4.23 * 10^{42}

Ans: So the blanks are:
1) 5.82
2) 1.38
3) 4.23

Suppose the price of electricity is 12.75 cents per kWºh. What
adell [148]

Answer:

The difference between the cost of operating LED and incandescent bulb is $5.1

Explanation:

We are given the cost of electricity that is 12.75 cents per kWh. We want to find out the difference in the operating cost of an incandescent and LED bulb for a time period of 2,000 hours.

Since we are not given the rating of the incandescent bulb and LED bulb, we will assume their ratings.

For a light intensity of 250 Lumens;

The average rating of an LED bulb is approximately 5 Watts.

The average rating of an incandescent bulb is approximately 25 Watts.

Now lets find out the kWh of each bulb.

Energy = Power×Time

For LED bulb:

E = 5×2,000 = 10,000 Wh

Divide by 1000 to convert into kWh

E = 10,000/1000 = 10 kWh

Cost = 12.75×10 = 127.5 cents

Cost = $1.27

For Incandescent bulb:

E = 25×2,000 = 50,000 Wh

Divide by 1000 to convert into kWh

E = 50,000/1000 = 50 kWh

Cost = 12.75×50 = 637.5 cents

Cost = $6.37

Difference in Cost:

Difference = $6.37 - $1.27 = $5.1

Therefore, the difference between the cost of operating LED and incandescent bulb is $5.1.
