The light beacon of a lighthouse is situated a distance 2.00 km from a long, straight shoreline (shortest distance to the shorel

ine). The light rotates at a rate of 3.00 rev/minute. At a certain time, the illuminated spot on the shoreline is 4.00 km from the lighthouse. How fast is the illuminated spot moving at that point?

In triangle ABC

tanθ = BC/AB

tanθ = x/2

taking derivative both side relative to "t"

sec²θ (dθ/dt) = (0.5) (dx/dt)

sec²θ w = (0.5) v                                eq-1

when x = 4 ,

tanθ = 4/2

θ = tan⁻¹ (2) = 63.4 deg

using eq-1

sec²θ w = (0.5) v  

sec²63.4 (3) (2pi/60) = (0.5) v  

v = 3.13 m/s

An electron with a charge of -1.6 × 10-19 coulombs experiences a field of 1.4 × 105 newtons/coulomb. What is the magnitude of th
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

2.24 \times 10^{-14} Newtons

Explanation:

Magnitude of charge on the electron = q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} Coulombs

The negative sign in the question statement indicates that the charge is negative.

Magnitude of Electric Field experienced by the electron = E = 1.4 \times 10^{5} Newtons/Coulomb

Magnitude of Force on the electron = F = ?

The relation between the charge, electric field and the force on the charge because of electric field is given by:

E=\frac{F}{q}

From here we can write:

F = qE

Using the values, we get:

F = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1.4 \times 10^{5}\\\\ F = 2.24 \times 10^{-14}

Thus, the magnitude of the electric force experience by the electron would be 2.24 \times 10^{-14} Newtons

What is one way that continental rifts are similar to mid-ocean ridges and what is one that they are different?
adell [148]

Explanation:

Continental rifts and mid-ocean ridges are both features of a divergent plate margin.

In both cases plates are moving away from one another. Therefore they are creating new land masses.

  • A continental drift like the east African rift valley is where a continent begins to pull apart or diverges.
  • A mid-ocean ridge is divergent margin in the ocean.

They are different in that, continental rift occurs within the continental plate that are on land.

But:

 Mid-ocean ridges are in the oceanic crust in the ocean . They form the largest physiographic structure on the earth surface called the mid-ocean ridge.
