A radar station detects an airplane approaching directly from the east. At first observation, the range to the plane is 375.0 m

at 43.0 ° above the horizon. The plane is tracked for another 123.0 ° in the vertical east-west plane, the range at final contact being 797.0 m. What is the magnitude of the displacement of the plane (in meters) during the period of observation?

Answer:

819.78 m

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • OA = range of initial position of the airplane from the point of observation = 375 m
  • OB = range of the final position of the airplane from the point of observation = 797 m
  • \theta = angle of the initial position vector from the observation point = 43^\circ
  • \alpha = angle of the final position vector from the observation point = 123^\circ
  • \vec{AB} = displacement vector from initial position to the final position

A diagram has been attached with the solution in order to clearly show the position of the plane.

\vec{OA} = OA\cos \theta \hat{i}+OA \sin \theta \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OA} = 375\ m\cos 43^\circ \hat{i}+375\ m\sin 43^\circ \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OA} = (274.26\ \hat{i}+255.75\ \hat{j})\ m\\\vec{OB} = OB\cos \alpha \hat{i}+OB \sin \alpha \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OB} = 797\ m\cos 123^\circ \hat{i}+797\ m\sin 123^\circ \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OB} = (-434.08\ \hat{i}+668.42\ \hat{j})\ m

Displacement vector of the airplane will be the shortest line joining the initial position of the airplane to the final position of the airplane which is given by:

\vec{AB}=\vec{OB}-\vec{OA}\\\Rightarrow \vec{AB} =  (-434.08\ \hat{i}+668.42\ \hat{j})\ m-(274.26\ \hat{i}+255.75\ \hat{j})\ m\\\Rightarrow \vec{AB} =  (-708.34\ \hat{i}+412.67\ \hat{j})\ m

The magnitude of the displacement vector = \sqrt{(-708.34)^2+(412.67)^2}\ m = 819.78\ m

Hence, the magnitude of the displacement of the plane is 819.67 m during the period of observation.

Acetone is a flammable solvent used in the making of plastics. The density is 790kg/m3. to convert 790kg/m3 to g/cm3​
Artist 52 [7]

Answer: 0.790 g/cm3

Explanation:

The density of acetone is 790 Kg/m3.

To convert from Kg to g we multiply by 1000 (1 Kg = 1000 g)

To convert from m3 to cm3 we multiply by 10∧6

So, The density of acetone in (g/cm3) = (790 x 1000) / (10∧6) = 0.79 g/cm3

"An alpha particle (He2+) with a velocity of 2.6x106m/scrosses a uniform magnetic field at an angle of 37.0°to the field lines a
sergey [27]

Answer:

B = 5.59x10⁹ T

Explanation:

The magnetic force (F), on a the alpha particle with charge (q) that is moving at velocity (v) as the cross product of the velocity and magnetic field (B) is:

F = qvBsin(\theta)

<u>We have:</u>

F = 1.4x10⁻³ N

v = 2.6x10⁶ m/s

θ = 37.0°

q = 2*p = 2*1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C

Hence, the strength of the magnetic field is:

B = \frac{F}{qvsin(\theta)} = \frac{1.4 \cdot 10^{-3}}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*2.6 \cdot 10^{6}*sin(37)} = 5.59 \cdot 10^{9} T

Therefore, the strength of the magnetic field is 5.59x10⁹ T.

I hope it helps you!
