The correct answer is

D- 4 watts

In fact, the different prefixes correspond to the following:

kilowatt: $1 kW = 10^3 W$

megawatt: $1 MW=10^6 W$

gigawatt: $1 GW=10^9 W$

Using the list above, we can convert all the options into Watts:

A) $1 GW=1 \cdot 10^9 W$

B) $2 kW=2 \cdot 10^3 W$

C) $3 MW=3 \cdot 10^6 W$

D) $4 W$

Therefore, the smallest quantity is D) 4 Watts.

<span>D is the correct answer. A watt is the smallest amount of power. The prefix kilo means a thousand, mega means a million and giga means a billion, so, in increasing size: watt - kilowatt - megawatt - gigawatt.</span>

A chimpanzee sitting against his favorite tree gets up and walks 70.9 m due east and 31.9 m due south to reach a termite mound,

DIA [1.3K]

A right triangle is formed by the 70.9 m walked east and 31.9 m walked south.
The legs of this right triangle are 70.9 and 31.9.
The shortest distance between two points is a straaight line. Therefore the hypotenuse of this triangle is going to be that shortest distance.
We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse of this triangle.
$a^2+b^2=c^2\\70.9^2+31.9^2=c^2\\5026.81+1017.61=c^2\\6044.42=c^2\\c=\sqrt{6044.42}$

$c=\sqrt{6044.42}\approx\boxed{77.7458681}\ (decimal\ form)\\\\c=\sqrt{6044.42}=\sqrt{\frac{604442}{100}}=\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{604442}}{10}}\ (exact\ form)$

As for the second part of the question, we want to find the angle formed by the hypotenuse and the 31.9 walked east.
We could use any of the three trigonometric ratios here since we know all 3 sides.
sine = opposite / hypotenuse
cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse
tangent = opposite / adjacent
I am going to use tangent, because then I won't have to deal with the hypotenuse and so the answer will be more accurate.

If you haven't already drawn yourself a diagram, now is a good time to.
The side opposite our angle is the 31.9, and the adjacent is 70.9.
Therefore, $\tan(m\angle)=\frac{31.9}{70.9}$ .

We can use inverse trig ratios here to find the measure of our angle.
$\tan^{-1}(\tan(m\angle))=\tan^{-1}(\frac{31.9}{70.9})\\\\m\angle=\tan^{-1}(\frac{31.9}{70.9})\approx\boxed{24.2243851\°\ or\ 0.422795279\ rad}$

Consider two antennas separated by 9.00 m that radiate in phase at 120 MHz, as described in Exercise 35.3. A receiver placed 150

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

$\phi=4.52 rad$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Distance b/e antenna's $d=9.00m$

Frequency of antenna Radiation $F_r=120 MHz \approx 120*10^6Hz$

Distance from receiver $d_r=150m$

Intensity of Receiver $i= 10$

Distance difference of the receiver b/w antenna's $(r^2-r^1)=1.8m$

Generally the equation for Phase difference $\phi$ is mathematically given by

$\phi=\frac{2\pi}{\frac{c}{f_r}} *(r^2-r^1)$

$\phi=\frac{2*\pi}{\frac{3*10^{8}}{120*10^6}} *1.8$

$\phi=\frac{4\pi}{5} *1.8$

Therefore phase difference f between the two radio waves produced by this path difference is given as

$\phi=4.52 rad$

A hot air balloon is hovering in the air when it drops a 40 Kg food package to some lost golfers. If the package is dropped from

UNO [17]

We can calculate this with the law of conservation of energy. Here we have a food package with a mass m=40 kg, that is in the height h=500 m and all of it's energy is potential. When it is dropped, it's potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy. So we can say that its kinetic and potential energy are equal, because we are neglecting air resistance:

Ek=Ep, where Ek=(1/2)*m*v² and Ep=m*g*h, where m is the mass of the body, g=9.81 m/s² and h is the height of the body.

(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, masses cancel out and we get:

(1/2)*v²=g*h, and we multiply by 2 both sides of the equation

v²=2*g*h, and we take the square root to get v:

v=√(2*g*h)

v=99.04 m/s

So the package is moving with the speed of v= 99.04 m/s when it hits the ground.
