Answer:

D = 26.97 m

Explanation:

given,

you walk 12.5 m in a direction exactly 19° south of west

after that 19.5 m in a direction exactly 39° west of north.

distance calculation from the starting point = ?

D₁ = d₁ cos θ

D₁ = 12.5 x cos 19°

D₁ = 11.82 m

D₂ = d₂ cos θ

D₂ = 19.5 x cos 39°

D₂ = 15.15 m

distance from the starting point

D = D₁ + D₂

D = 11.82 + 15.15

D = 26.97 m

Distance from the starting point is equal to  26.97 m

Maurinko [17]

This question is not complete.

The complete question is as follows:

One problem for humans living in outer space is that they are apparently weightless. One way around this problem is to design a space station that spins about its center at a constant rate. This creates “artificial gravity” at the outside rim of the station. (a) If the diameter of the space station is 800 m, how many revolutions per minute are needed for the “artificial gravity” acceleration to be 9.80m/s2?

Explanation:

a. Using the expression;

T = 2π√R/g

where R = radius of the space = diameter/2

R = 800/2 = 400m

g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

1/T = number of revolutions per second

T = 2π√R/g

T = 2 x 3.14 x √400/9.8

T = 6.28 x 6.39 = 40.13

1/T = 1/40.13 = 0.025 x 60 = 1.5 revolution/minute

Explain how electric currents flow only in closed circuits​
Fed [463]

Answer:

The wires are connected to both terminals of the battery, so they form a closed loop. Most circuits have devices such as light bulbs that convert electrical energy to other forms of energy. ... When the switch is turned on, the circuit is closed and current can flow through it.

What would occur if the index of refraction of a material was less than n=1?
Bingel [31]

The correct answer is (A). The speed of light would increase to a speed larger than the maximum speed of light in vacuum.

The index of refraction is the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in a medium.

n=C/V

here, n is the index of refraction, c the speed of light in vacuum, v is speed of light in any medium.

Now if the value of index of refraction is less than one, than the value of speed of light would be greater than the speed of light in the vacuum.
