An airplane flying parallel to the ground undergoes two consecutive dis- placements. The first is 75 km 30.0° west of north, and

the second is 155 km 60.0° east of north. What is the total displacement of the airplane?

Answer: displacement of airplane is 172 km in direction 34.2 degrees East of North

Explanation:

In constructing the two displacements it is noticed that the angle between the 75 km vector and the 155 km vector is a right angle (90 degrees).

 

Hence if the plane starts out at A, it travels to B, 75 km away, then turns 90 degrees to the right (clockwise) and travels to C, 155 km away from B. Angle ABC is 90 degrees, hence we can use Pythagoras theorem to solve for AC

 

AC2 = AB2 + BC2 ; AC^2 = 752 + 1552  ; from this we get AC = 172 km (3 significant figures)

 

Angle BAC = Tan-1(155/75) ; giving angle BAC = 64.2 degrees

 

Hence AC is in a direction (64.2 - 30) = 34.2 degrees East of North

 

Therefore the displacement of the airplane is 172 km in a direction 34.2 degrees East of North

Parallel light waves hit the surface of a still lake and reflect in the same direction. Which interaction of light and matter do
otez555 [7]
Parallel light waves hit the surface of a still lake and reflect in the same direction and the interaction of light and matter that it illustrates is called regular reflection. Regular reflection occurs whenever the reflecting surface is very smooth. The surface of the still lake is smooth. I hope the answer helps you.

What type of light do most objects produce?
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The Light We See

Visible light includes all the wavelengths of light that the human eye can detect. It allows us to see objects in the world around us. Without visible light, we would only be able to sense most objects by sound, touch, or smell. Like humans, most other organisms also depend on visible light, either directly or indirectly. Many animals—including predators of jellyfish—use visible light to see. Plants and certain other organisms use visible light to make food in the process of photosynthesis. Without this food, most other organisms would not be able to survive.

Q: Do you think that some animals might be able to see light that isn’t visible to humans?

A: Some animals can see light in the infrared or ultraviolet range of wavelengths. For example, mosquitoes can see infrared light, which is emitted by warm objects. By seeing infrared light, mosquitoes can tell where the warmest, blood-rich areas of the body are located.

Incandescence

Most of the visible light on Earth comes from the sun. The sun and other stars produce light because they are so hot. They glow with light due to their extremely high temperatures. This way of producing light is called incandescence. Incandescent light bulbs also produce light in this way. When electric current passes through a wire filament inside an incandescent bulb, the wire gets so hot that it glows

At 9:13 A.M., a sports car is traveling 34 miles per hour. Two minutes later, the car is traveling 84 miles per hour. The mean v
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Acceleration will be 25miles/hour^2                    

Explanation:

We have given that car is traveling with speed 34 miles per hour

So initial speed of the car u = 34 miles per hour

After 2 hour speed will be 84 miles per hour

So final speed V = 84 miles per hour

Time = 2 hour

From first equation of motion we know that v=u+at

So acceleration a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{84-34}{2}=25miles/hour^2
