Answer:

magnitude = 304.14 km/h

direction: 9.46^o West of North

Explanation:

The final plane's vector velocity will be the result of the vector addition of one pointing North of length 300 km/h, another one pointing West of length 50 km/h.

To find the magnitude of the final velocity vector (speed) we need to apply the Pythagorean theorem in a right angle triangle with sides: 300 and 50, and find its hypotenuse:

|v|=\sqrt{300^2+50^2}=\sqrt{92500}  = 304.14 km/h

The actual direction of the plane is calculated using trigonometry, in particular with the arctan function, since the tangent of the angle can be written as:

tan(\theta)=\frac{50}{300} = \frac{1}{6} \\\theta = arctan(\frac{1}{6} ) = 9.46^o

So the resultant velocity vector of the plane has magnitude = 304.14 km/h,

and it points 9.46^o West of the North direction.

(since you asked for basic understanding only, I am not including actual calculations. Please let me know in the comments section if you wish to verify your solution(s))

For (b): Use the formula for distance (s) made during an accelerated motion:

s = \frac{1}{2}at^2+ v_0t+s_0= \frac{1}{2}at^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2

with v_0 and s_0 being the initial velocity and distance, both 0 in this case, and with "a" denoting the acceleration, in this case  solely due to gravitational acceleration so: "g."

You are given the distance made, namely 10 m, and the duration t (0.88s) and so using the formula above you can solve for g.

For (c), to determine the final velocity at time 0.88s use the formula for the instantaneous velocity of an accelerated motion

(velocity at time t) = (acceleration) x (time)  

again, with acceleration due to gravity, i.e., a = g and with g as determined under (b).  

If my calculation is correct, this mystery planet could be the Jupiter.

What happens to an electromagnetic waves as it passes from space to matter
sertanlavr [38]

Interaction of Electromagnetic Radiation and Matter

It is well known that all matter is comprised of atoms. But subatomically, matter is made up of mostly empty space. For example, consider the hydrogen atom with its one proton, one neutron, and one electron. The diameter of a single proton has been measured to be about 10-15 meters. The diameter of a single hydrogen atom has been determined to be 10-10meters, therefore the ratio of the size of a hydrogen atom to the size of the proton is 100,000:1. Consider this in terms of something more easily pictured in your mind. If the nucleus of the atom could be enlarged to the size of a softball (about 10 cm), its electron would be approximately 10 kilometers away. Therefore, when electromagnetic waves pass through a material, they are primarily moving through free space, but may have a chance encounter with the nucleus or an electron of an atom.

Because the encounters of photons with atom particles are by chance, a given photon has a finite probability of passing completely through the medium it is traversing. The probability that a photon will pass completely through a medium depends on numerous factors including the photon’s energy and the medium’s composition and thickness. The more densely packed a medium’s atoms, the more likely the photon will encounter an atomic particle. <span>In other words, the more subatomic particles in a material (higher Z number), the greater the likelihood that interactions will occur  </span>Similarly, the more material a photon must cross through, the more likely the chance of an encounter.

When a photon does encounter an atomic particle, it transfers energy to the particle. The energy may be reemitted back the way it came (reflected), scattered in a different direction or transmitted forward into the material. Let us first consider the interaction of visible light. Reflection and transmission of light waves occur because the light waves transfer energy to the electrons of the material and cause them to vibrate. If the material is transparent, then the vibrations of the electrons are passed on to neighboring atoms through the bulk of the material and reemitted on the opposite side of the object. If the material is opaque, then the vibrations of the electrons are not passed from atom to atom through the bulk of the material, but rather the electrons vibrate for short periods of time and then reemit the energy as a reflected light wave. The light may be reemitted from the surface of the material at a different wavelength, thus changing its color.

<span>X-Rays and Gamma Rays
</span>X-rays and gamma rays also transfer their energy to matter though chance encounters with electrons and atomic nuclei. However, X-rays and gamma rays have enough energy to do more than just make the electrons vibrate. When these high energy rays encounter an atom, the result is an ejection of energetic electrons from the atom or the excitation of electrons. The term "excitation" is used to describe an interaction where electrons acquire energy from a passing charged particle but are not removed completely from their atom. Excited electrons may subsequently emit energy in the form of x-rays during the process of returning to a lower energy state.

Mamont248 [21]

There are different refractive errors that are common and some of them are:

  • Nearsightedness (myopia) makes far-away objects look blurry.
  • Farsightedness (hyperopia) makes nearby objects look blurry.
  • Astigmatism can make far-away and nearby objects look blurry or distorted.
  • Presbyopia makes it hard for middle-aged and older adults to see things up close

<h3>What is Refraction?</h3>

This refers to the study of light phenomena that deflects when it passes through a medium in an oblique manner to another medium of a varying density.

Hence, we can see that there are everyday examples of refraction in simple terms which occurs and some of them are:

  • Glass
  • Human eyes
  • Ice crystals
  • Pickle jar
  • Microscope, etc.

Hence, we can see that your question is incomplete, so I gave you a general overview to help you get a better understanding of the concept of refraction.
