Points A (-5,6), B (2,-2), and C (-6,-3) are placed in three different quadrants of a Cartesian coordinate system. Convert each

set of Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates. The angle should be reported as a positive angle, in degrees, from the positive x-axis. (0° < θ < 360°). What is the θ coordinate for point A? Recall this should be in units of degrees.

Answer: A (\sqrt{61},309.8°)

              B (2\sqrt{2}, 315°)

             C (3\sqrt{5}, 26.56°)

Explanation: To transform rectangular coordinates into polar coordinates use:

r=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}} and \theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})

For point A:

r=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+6^{2}}

r=\sqrt{61}

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{6}{-5})

\theta=tan^{-1}(-1.2)

\theta=-50.2°

Point A is in the II quadrant, so we substract the angle for 360° since it is in degrees:

\theta=360-50.2

\theta= 309.8°

Polar coordinates for point A is (\sqrt{61}, 309.8°)

For point B:

r=\sqrt{2^{2}+(-2)^{2}}

r=\sqrt{8}

r=2\sqrt{2}

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-2}{2} )

\theta=tan^{-1}(1)

\theta=-45°

Point B is in IV quadrant, so:

\theta=360-45

\theta= 315°

Polar coordinates for point B is (2\sqrt{2}, 315°)

For point C:

r=\sqrt{(-6)^{2}+(-3)^{2}}

r=\sqrt{45}

r=3\sqrt{5}

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-3}{-6} )

\theta=tan^{-1}(0.5)

\theta= 26.56°

Polar coordinates for point C is (3\sqrt{5}, 26.56°)

If 20 beats are produced within a single second, which of the following frequencies could possibly be held by two sound waves tr
zhuklara [117]

The correct choice is

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz.

In fact, the beat frequency is given by the difference between the frequencies of the two waves:

f_B = |f_1 -f_2|

In this problem, the beat frequency is f_B=20 Hz, therefore the only pair of frequencies that gives a difference equal to 20 Hz is

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz.

What do astronomers mean by light pollution?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

a. Light pollution refers to light used for human activities that brightens the sky and hinders astronomical observations.

Explanation:

Light pollution is due to the excessive and misdirected use of artificial light. Light bulbs are often design in an incorrect way, since a great part of its light is not completely directed to the ground and an important percentage is emitted to the sky in where will be scattered and reflected back to ground by the particles in the atmosphere. That brings as an effect a sky glow, therefore the visibility of astronomical objects will be extremely reduce.  

Hence, professional astronomical research and amateur observations will be affected. Light pollution has a negative impact on bird migration at night and in the health of difference species, humans also.

Usimov [2.4K]

Explanation:

It is known that relation between torque and angular acceleration is as follows.

                    \tau = I \times \alpha

and,       I = \sum mr^{2}

So,      I_{1} = 2 kg \times (1 m)^{2} + 2 kg \times (1 m)^{2}

                       = 4 kg m^{2}

      \tau_{1} = 4 kg m^{2} \times \alpha_{1}

     \tau_{2} = I_{2} \alpha_{2}

So,      I_{2} = 2 kg \times (0.5 m)^{2} + 2 kg \times (0.5 m)^{2}

                     = 1 kg m^{2}

 as \tau_{2} = I_{2} \alpha_{2}

                   = 1 kg m^{2} \times \alpha_{2}        

Hence,     \tau_{1} = \tau_{2}

                  4 \alpha_{1} = \alpha_{2}

            \alpha_{1} = \frac{1}{4} \alpha_{2}

Thus, we can conclude that the new rotation is \frac{1}{4} times that of the first rotation rate.

Two identical resistors are connected in parallel across a 26-V battery, which supplies them with a total power of 7.1 W. While
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

A) R = 190.42 Ω

B) P = 5.325 W

Explanation:

We are given;

Total power;P_tot = 7.1 W

Voltage;V = 26 V

A)We are told that while the battery is still connected, one of the resistors is heated, so that its resistance doubles.

Thus, the power is doubled.

Now, formula for power is;

P = IV

Thus, since power is doubled, we have;

P = 2(IV)

Now, formula for current is; I = V/R

So, P = 2V²/R

Making R the subject, we have;

R = 2V²/P

In this question, P is p_total = 7.1 W

Thus;

R = (2 × 26²)/7.1

R = 190.42 Ω

B) Now, the resistance of the resistors are R and 2R.

Formula for power in this context is;

P = V²/R

Thus,

Total power delivered to the resistors is;

P = V²/R + V²/2R

P = 3V²/2R

P = (3 × 26²)/(2 × 190.42)

P = 5.325 W
