Assume this is 22 degrees from the horizontal (x).
A vector can always be split into components - in this case we can think of the world in two dimensions, meaning the 72ms-1 has a vertical and a horizontal component. We therefore know the hypotenuse of the triangle (the overall velocity) and the angle from the ground. Hence we can use trigonometry to solve this problem.

We know x and the hypotenuse, and we want to know the magnitude of the adjacent side (horizontal), therefore we can use cosx=adj/hyp

Substituting:

Cos(22) = adj/72
Adj = 72cos22 = 66.8ms-1 = 67ms-1 to 2sf

Calculate the charge that flows through the cell in 1 minute. Each filament lamp has a power of 3 W and a resistance of 12 Ω
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

24 Coulumbs

Explanation:

Given data

time= 1 minute= 6 seconds

P=2 W

R= 12 ohm

We know that

P= I^2R

P/R= I^2

2/12= I^2

I^2= 0.166

I= √0.166

I= 0.4 amps

We know also that

Q= It

substitute

Q= 0.4*60

Q= 24 Columbs

Hence the charge is 24 Coulumbs

Two parallel square metal plates that are 1.6 cm apart and 24 cm on each side carry equal but opposite charges uniformly spread
Fiesta28 [93]

The amount of extra electrons present on the negative surface is

57.2 x 10^{10}.

Distance =1.6 cm

Side = 24 cm

Electric field = 18000 N/C

Calculating the capacitance in the metal plates is necessary.

Using the capacitance formula

C=\frac{e_{0}A }{d}

Putting the value

C = 8.85 x 10^{-12}x (24 x 10^{-2})^{2}/1.6 x 10^{-2}

C = 0.318 x 10^{-10} F

<h3>Calculation of potential</h3>

V = Ed

V = 18000 x 1.6 x 10^{-2} V

V = 288 V

<h3>Calculation of charge</h3>

Q = CV

Q = 0.318 x 10^{-10} x 288

Q = 91.54 x 10^{-10} C

Charge on the both the plates

Q = +91.54 x 10^{-10}

Q = - 91.54 x 10^{-10}

Calculation of excess electrons on the negative surface:

n = q/e

n = 91.54 x 10^{-10}/ 1.6 x 10^{-19}

n = 57.2 x 10^{10} electrons

Hence, the number of excess electrons on the negative surface is

57.2 x 10^{10}.

What is the frequency of a monochromatic light used in a diffraction experiment that has a wavelength of 6.38 ✕ 10e-07 m?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

f=4.70\times 10^{14}\ Hz

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of light, \lambda=6.38\times 10^{-7}\ m

We need to find the frequency of the light. We know that,

c=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{6.38\times 10^{-7}}\\\\f=4.70\times 10^{14}\ Hz

So, the required frequency of light is equal to 4.70\times 10^{14}\ Hz.
