Answer:

A+B; 5√5 units, 341.57°

A-B; 5√5 units, 198.43°

B-A; 5√5 units, 18.43°

Explanation:

Given A = 5 units

By vector notation and the axis of A, it is represented as -5j

B = 3 × 5 = 15 units

Using the vector notations and the axis, B is +15i. The following vectors ate taking as the coordinates of A and B

(a) A + B = -5j + 15i

A+B = 15i -5j

|A+B| = √(15)²+(5)²

= 5√5 units

∆ = arctan(5/15) = 18.43°

The angle ∆ is generally used in the diagrams

∆= 18.43°

The direction of A+B is 341.57° based in the condition given (see attachment for diagrams

(b) A - B = -5j -15i

A-B = -15i -5j

|A-B|= √(15)²+(-5)²

|A-B| = √125

|A-B| = 5√5 units

The direction is 180+18.43°= 198.43°

See attachment for diagrams

(c) B-A = 15i -( -5j) = 15i + 5j

|B-A| = 5√5 units

The direction is 18.43°

The 10-kg block is held at rest on the smooth inclined plane by the stop block at A. If the10-g bullet is traveling at 300m/swhe

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

6.8 mm

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of block,m=10 kg

Mass of bullet, $m_b=10 g=10\times 10^{-3} kg$

1 kg=1000 g

Total mass of system,M= $m+m_a=10+10\times 10^{-3}=10.01kg$

Speed of bullet,u=300 m/s

$\theta=30^{\circ}$

By law of conservation of momentum

$m_bucos\theta=Mv$

$v=\frac{m_bvcos\theta}{M}=\frac{0.01\times 300cos30^{\circ}}{10.01}=0.259m/s$

According to law of conservation of energy

Change in kinetic energy of system=Change in potential energy of system

$\frac{1}{2}Mv^2-0=Mgh-0$

$\frac{1}{2}(10.01)(0.259)^2=10.01\times 9.8 h$

Where $g=9.8 m/s^2$

$h=\frac{(0.259)^2}{2\times 9.8}=0.0034m$

1m=100 cm

$h=0.0034\times 100=0.34 cm$

Distance traveled by block= $d=\frac{h}{sin\theta}=\frac{0.34}{sin30^{\circ}}=0.68 cm=6.8 mm$

1cm=10 mm

An aluminum cup of mass 150 g contains 800 g of water in thermal equilibrium at 80.0°C. The combination of cup and water is cool

gladu [14]

Answer:

Heat Flow Rate : ( About ) 87 W

Explanation:

The heat flowing out of the system each minute, will be represented by the following equation,

Q( cup ) + Q( water ) = m( cup ) $*$ c( al ) $*$ ΔT + m( w ) $*$ c( w ) $*$ ΔT

So as you can see, the mass of the aluminum cup is 150 grams. For convenience, let us convert that into kilograms,

150 grams = .15 kilograms - respectively let us convert the mass of water to kilograms,

800 grams = .8 kilograms

Now remember that the specific heat of aluminum is 900 J / kg $*$ K, and the specific heat of water = 4186 J / kg $*$ K. Therefore let us solve for " the heat flowing out of the system per minute, "

Q( cup ) + Q( water ) = .15 $*$ ( 900 J / kg $*$ K ) $*$ 1.5 + .8 $*$ ( 4186 J / kg $*$ K ) $*$ 1.5,

Q( cup ) + Q( water ) = 5225.7 Joules

And the heat flow rate should be Joules per minute,

5225.7 Joules / 60 seconds = ( About ) 87 W

X-rays have so much energy they can go right through your ___ and ___.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

X-rays have so much energy they can go right through your <u>muscles</u> and <u>fat</u>.

Explanation:

There are actually more ways to fill in those two blanks... Different parts of the body absorb x-rays in varying degrees, but soft tissues (like skin, muscles, fat, and organs) allow most of the X-rays to pass through.

How many lines per mm are there in the diffraction grating if the second order principal maximum for a light of wavelength 536 n

grandymaker [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the principle of superposition and the equations of destructive and constructive interference.

Constructive interference can be defined as

$dSin\theta = m\lambda$

Where

m= Any integer which represent the number of repetition of spectrum

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

d = Distance between the slits.

$\theta$ = Angle between the difraccion paterns and the source of light

Re-arrange to find the distance between the slits we have,

$d = \frac{m\lambda}{sin\theta }$

$d = \frac{2*536*10^{-9}}{sin(24)}$

$d = 2.63*10^{-6}m$

Therefore the number of lines per millimeter would be given as

$\frac{1}{d} = \frac{1}{2.63*10^{-6} }$

$\frac{1}{d} = 379418.5\frac{lines}{m}(\frac{10^{-3}m}{1 mm})$

$\frac{1}{d} = 379.4 lines/mm$

Therefore the number of the lines from the grating to the center of the diffraction pattern are 380lines per mm
