Suppose you first walk 12.0 m in a direction 20? west of north and then 20.0 m in a direction 40.0? south of west. how far are y

Gnesinka [82]

The representation of this problem is shown in Figure 1. So our goal is to find the vector $\overrightarrow{R}$ . From the figure we know that:

$\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |=12m \\ \\ \left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |=20m \\ \\ \theta_{A}=20^{\circ} \\ \\ \theta_{B}=40^{\circ}$

From geometry, we know that:

$\overrightarrow{R}=\overrightarrow{A}+\overrightarrow{B}$

Then using vector decomposition into components:

$For \ A: \\ \\ A_x=-\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |sin\theta_A=-12sin(20^{\circ})=-4.10 \\ \\ A_y=\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |cos\theta_A=12cos(20^{\circ})=11.27 \\ \\ \\ For \ B: \\ \\ B_x=-\left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |cos\theta_B=-20cos(40^{\circ})=-15.32 \\ \\ B_y=-\left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |sin\theta_B=-20sin(40^{\circ})=-12.85$

Therefore:

$R_x=A_x+B_x=-4.10-15.32=-19.42m \\ \\ R_y=A_y+B_y=11.27-12.85=-1.58m$

So if you want to find out how far are you from your starting point you need to know the magnitude of the vector $\overrightarrow{R}$ , that is:

$\left | \overrightarrow{R} \right |=
\sqrt{R_x^2+R_y^2}=\sqrt{(-19.42)^2+(-1.58)^2}=\boxed{19.48m}$

Finally, let's find the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position. What we are looking for here is an angle that is shown in Figure 2 which is an angle defined with respect to the positive x-axis. Therefore:

 $\theta_R=180^{\circ}+tan^{-1}(\frac{\left | R_y \right |}{\left | R_x \right |}) \\ \\ \theta_R=180^{\circ}+tan^{-1}(\frac{1.58}{19.42}) \\ \\ \theta_R=180^{\circ}+4.65^{\circ}=185.85^{\circ}$

A ray of light passes from air into a block of clear plastic. How does the angle of incidence in the air compare to the angle of

andre [41]

Answer:

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.

When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where :

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:

$n_1=1.00$ (index of refraction of air)

$n_2=1.50$ approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)

Snell's Law can be rewritten as

$sin \theta_2 =\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1$

And since $n_2>n_1$ , we have

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}$

And so

$\theta_2$

Which means that

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

A photon of wavelength 192 nm strikes an aluminum surface along a line perpendicular to the surface and releases a photoelectron

alex41 [277]

Answer:

$KE=3.529\times10^{−27}\ J$

Explanation:

Given that

Wavelength λ=192 nm

So energy of photon,E

$E=\dfrac{hC}{\lambda }$

Now by putting the values

$h=6.6\times 10^{-34}\ m^2.kg/s$

$C=3\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

$E=\dfrac{6.6\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{192\times 10^{-9} }$

$E=1.03\times 10^{-18} J$

We know that

Kinetic energy given as

$KE=\dfrac{P^2}{2m}$

$KE=\dfrac{E^2}{2mC^2}$

$KE=\dfrac{(1.03\times 10^{-18})^2}{2\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}(3\times 10^8)^2}$

$KE=3.529\times10^{−27}\ J$

Which statement best describes the movement of electrical current when a capacitor is used in a circuit?

lukranit [14]

Answer:

The discharge of a capacitor changes the direction of the current

Explanation:

Capacitor is used to store charges. Changing and discharging a capacitor changes the direction of the current.

When a capacitor is charging, current flows towards the positive plate and away from the negative plate. When the capacitor is discharging, current flows away from the positive and flows towards the negative plate, in the opposite direction. During these two processes (charging and discharging), it can be seen that the direction of the current is changed.

Therefore, the discharge of a capacitor changes the direction of the current
