Answer:

1.88 N

Explanation:

Given in the question,

force applied by Jason  = 4N

angle which it make with the ground = 62°

The angle made with the x-axis is cosine of the angle 62°

Thus, the horizontal component of the force is equal to

F = 4.00(cos62⁰) = 1.88 N

              /

            /

4N     /

       /

     / 62°

  Ф ------------------------

   

by using trigonometry identity

cosФ = adjacent / hypotenuse

horizontal force = hypotenuse (cos(Ф))

horizontal force = 4cos(62)

How many drops of water are in a 1.0 L bottle? (Hint: Start by estimating the diameter of a drop of water.)
o-na [289]

Answer:

N = 2000 drops approx with 1 cm diameter each

Explanation:

Let the diameter of one drop is 1 cm

so volume of one drop is given by

V = \frac{1}{6}\pi d^3

now we have

V = \frac{1}{6}\pi(0.01)^3

V = 0.53 \times 10^{-6} m^3

now in 1L of liquid let say N drops are there

so we have

1L = 10^{-3} m^3

now we have

N = \frac{10^{-3}}{0.53 \times 10^{-6}}

N = 2\times 10^3

so it will have approx 2000 drops in it with diameter 1 cm each drop

Which statement correctly compares ultraviolet light to visible light? Ultraviolet light has both a lower frequency and longer w
Effectus [21]

The correct statement is

Ultraviolet light has both a higher frequency and a higher radiant energy than visible light.

because ultraviolet light has wavelength smaller than the visible light hence has a greater frequency as compared to visible light. (frequency is inversely related to wavelength. hence smaller the wavelength , greater will be the frequency)

we also know that the radiant energy is directly proportional to the frequency. hence greater the frequency , greater will be the radiant energy.

Since the frequency is greater for ultraviolet light , it radiant energy is also greater
