When two plates collide, it is the density that determines which plate comes out on top. The more denser plate subducts (goes under) the less denser plate. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

Explain why an electromagnetic wave is a transverse was and not a compressional wave

arlik [135]

Electromagnetic waves are transverse because the particles that are moving are perpendicular to the wave motion while compressional (also known as longitudinal) wave particles move parallel to the wave motion

Add a vector whose magnitude is 13 with angle 27 degrees to one whose magnitude is 11 with angle 45 degrees? Put the length firs

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Magnitude of the vector is $23.75\ \text{units}$ and the direction is $35.23^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Magnitude of first vector = $|A| = 13\ \text{units}$

Angle = $\theta_1=27^{\circ}$

Magnitude of second vector = $|B| = 11\ \text{units}$

Angle = $\theta_2=45^{\circ}$

x component of first vector

$A_{x}=|A|\cos\theta_1\\\Rightarrow A_x=13\cos27^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow A_x=11.6\ \text{units}$

y component of first vector

$A_{y}=|A|\sin\theta_1\\\Rightarrow A_y=13\sin27^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow A_y=5.9\ \text{units}$

x component of second vector

$B_{x}=|B|\cos\theta_2\\\Rightarrow B_x=11\cos45^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow B_x=7.8\ \text{units}$

y component of first vector

$B_{y}=|B|\sin\theta_2\\\Rightarrow B_y=11\sin45^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow A_y=7.8\ \text{units}$

Adding the magnitudes

$C_x=A_x+B_x=11.6+7.8\\\Rightarrow C_x=19.4\ \text{units}$

$C_y=A_y+B_y=5.9+7.8\\\Rightarrow C_y=13.7\ \text{units}$

Magnitude of the sum of the vectors would be

$|C|=\sqrt{C_x^2+C_y^2}\\\Rightarrow |C|=\sqrt{19.4^2+13.7^2}=23.75\ \text{units}$

The direction would be

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{C_y}{C_x}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{13.7}{19.4}\\\Rightarrow \theta=35.23^{\circ}$

The magnitude of the vector is $23.75\ \text{units}$ and the direction is $35.23^{\circ}$
