A map is almost always smaller than the place it describes. If a map of the US were drawn in its actual size, it would be 3,000 miles wide, and very difficult to fold. ... The scale of the map is the ratio of a distance on the map to the same distance on the real thing. ... If the map scale is 1 : 50000, then 1 foot on the map shows things that are actually spread over 50000 feet in the real city or field.

A tall, cylindrical chimney falls over when its base is ruptured. Treat the chimney as a thin rod of length 53.2 m. At the insta
rusak2 [61]
From an energy balance, we can use this formula to solve for the angular speed of the chimney

ω^2 = 3g / h sin θ

Substituting the given values:
ω^2 = 3 (9.81) / 53.2 sin 34.1
ω^2 = 0.987 /s

The formula for radial acceleration is:
a = rω^2

So,
a = 53.2 (0.987) = 52.494 /s^2

The linear velocity is:
v^2 = ar
v^2 = 52.949 (53.2) = 2816.887

The tangential acceleration is:
a = r v^2
a = 53.2 (2816.887)
a = 149858.378 m/s^2

If the tangential acceleration is equal to g:
g = r^2 3g / sin θ
Solving for θ
θ = 67°

At what wavelength would a star radiate the greatest amount of energy if the star has a surface temperature of 60,000 K?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

\lambda=4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m

Explanation:

We have,

The surface temperature of the star is 60,000 K

It is required to find the wavelength of a star that radiated greatest amount of energy. Wein's displacement law gives the relation between wavelength and temperature such that :

\lambda T=2.89\times 10^{-3}

Here,

\lambda = wavelength

\lambda=\dfrac{2.89\times 10^{-3}}{60000}\\\\\lambda=4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m

So, the wavelength of the star is 4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m.

The number line shows the graph of an inequality: which statement explains whether -3.5 can be a value in the shaded region?
guajiro [1.7K]

Yes it can, because −3.5 lies to the left of −0.5.

Yes it can, because −3.5 lies to the right of −0.5.

No it cannot, because −3.5 lies to the left of −0.5.

No it cannot, because −3.5 lies to the right of −0.5.

Yes it can, because −3.5 lies to the left of −0.5.

Answer: Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

This option has been chosen because the left of the 0 has been shaded and all the negative values lies on the left of zero. So -3.5 lies to the left of -0.5 and is in the shaded region of the number line.

In a number line, the figure -3.5 lies on the left side compared to the number -0.5 because the higher the value on the negative side of the number line, more left it would be on the number line.
