Answer:

As you learned, scientists standardized the short-hand way we represent elements, by their chemical symbol. One of the main reasons this was developed was because using letters was the easiest way to represent the elements. Another reason that we use chemical symbols is to allow us to write chemical formulas easily

One set of chemical symbols means that every science student and scientist -- no matter what languages they speak -- can identify these chemicals.

I hope this helps

A spotlight on the ground shines on a wall 15 meters away. A man 1.8 meters tall walks away from the spotlight toward the buildi

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

$s=(15-x)m$

Explanation:

Let the distance from spotlight to wall be 15m, and distance from the man to the building be $x$ .

#Therefore the height of the shadow as a function of the above is $s=(15-x )m$

Hence, height of the shadow is expressed as s=(15-x)m

The equation of a transverse wave traveling along a string is 1 1 y (2.00 mm)sin[(20 m )x (600 s )t] − − = − Find the (a) amplit

Lelu [443]

Answer:

a)Amplitude ,A = 2 mm

b)f=95.49 Hz

c)V= 30 m/s ( + x direction )

d) λ = 0.31 m

e)Umax= 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

$y=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]$

As we know that standard form of wave equation given as

$y=A sin(\phi -\omega t)$

A= Amplitude

ω=Frequency (rad /s)

t=Time

Φ = Phase difference

$y=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]$

So from above equation we can say that

Amplitude ,A = 2 mm

Frequency ,ω= 600 rad/s (2πf=ω)

ω= 2πf

f= ω /2π

f= 300/π = 95.49 Hz

K= 20 rad/m

So velocity,V

V= ω /K

V= 600 /20 = 30 m/s ( + x direction )

V = f λ

30 = 95.49 x λ

λ = 0.31 m

We know that speed is the rate of displacement

$U=\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

$U=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]$

$U=1200\ cos[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]\ mm/s$

The maximum velocity

Umax = 1200 mm/s

Umax= 1.2 m/s

vector u has a magnitude of 20 and direction of 0°.vector v has amagnitude of 40and a direction of 60°.find the magnitude and di

pantera1 [17]

Addition of vectors:

vector u

has a magnitude of 20 and a direction of 0º with respect to the horizontal, vector v has a magnitude of 40 and a direction of 60º with respect to the horizontal.

a) Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant to the nearest whole

number.

Vector Sum:

The resultant of two vectors is simply the vector sum of the vectors. There are a handful of ways to present the resultant factor; the notation that shows the vector magnitude and direction is called the polar vector notation. An example of a vector presented in polar vector notation is

a∠θ where a is the magnitude and θis the angle that the vector makes with the horizontal axis.

Answer and Explanation:

Let's first present the vectors in rectangular vector notation.

For the vector →u of magnitude 20 and direction 0∘ to the horizontal axis, the vector is →u=^i20.

For the vector →v

of magnitude 40 and direction 60∘ to the horizontal axis, the vector is →v=^i40cos60∘+^j40sin60∘.

The resultant vector →w is the vector sum of the vectors, i.e.

→w=→u+→v

=^i20+^i40cos60∘+^j40sin60∘

=^i(20+40cos60∘)+^j(40sin60∘)

=^i40+^j20√3

For a vector ^ix+^jy, the magnitude of the vector is √x2+y2 and the direction above the horizontal axis is θ=tan−1(yx).

Let's use the formulas:

|→w|∠θ=√(40)2+(20√3)2∠tan−1(20√340)≈52.9∠40.9∘

The magnitude of the vector is about 53 units in the direction 41-degrees above the horizontal axis.

iris [78.8K]

Answer: True.

Explanation:

The US constitution has involved details related to the Supreme Court; in fact, the US constitution created this institution. However, the structure does not specify how many judges will sit in the supreme court. Those details were left to the US Congress. In 1807, Congress increased the number of judges to seven; In 1837 the number increased to nine, and in 1863 it rose to 10.
