<h3>Vector AB is equal to vector DC</h3>

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Vector is a quantity that has a magnitude and direction.

A vector in a cartesian coordinate is represented by an arrow in which the slope of the arrow shows the direction of the vector and the length of the arrow shows the magnitude of the vector.

A position vector of a point is a vector drawn from the base point of the coordinates O (0,0) to that point.

The addition of two vectors can be done in the following ways:

$\overrightarrow {AB} + \overrightarrow {BC} = \overrightarrow {AC}$

A negative vector is a vector with the same magnitude but in opposite direction.

$\overrightarrow {AB} = -\overrightarrow {BA}$

Let's tackle the problem!

Two vectors are equal if they have the same magnitude and direction. In the attached picture, it can be clearly seen that the vector AB has the same magnitude and direction with vector DC. Therefore, vector AB is equal to vector DC.

pychu [463]

The area of a triangle is found by multiplying the height of the triangle by the length of the base and dividing them both by 2. The length of the shorter side in the equation is useless information, so just multiply 39 by 25 and divide that by 2. A=487.5 sq ft. Also, that's a pretty big kite.

The same wave travels for 2 seconds, what is its frequency?*

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

In waves distance is measured by wave length and time is measured by frequency or period.

velocity ratio=wave length multiply by frequency.

HENCE, if the same wave travels for 2 econds its frequency will be 2Hz.

The alternative to nuclear fission reactors in a nuclear fusion reactor. Explain why it is much more difficult to get a fusion r

Sliva [168]

Answer: The major challenges are as

1) understanding of the plasma: Plasma is a soup like mixture of subatomic particles of different atoms nuclei and electrons that are shattered apart by the temperature at which plasma is formed. further research is needed to understand the behavior of plasma so that it can be put to a proper use.

2) Confinement of plasma: Once we get the plasma we need to hold it so that we can obtain heat from it to drive a steam turbine but the sheer temperature of plasma is in millions of Celsius thus currently making it impossible to confine conventionally. Scientists use a loop of electric and magnetic fields to keep it in circulatory like manner so that it can be studied.

3) finally to obtain electricity from the plasma it should be stable to produce electricity. But currently to obtain pressure, temperature so that we have a sustained supply is highly difficult in technical and economical aspects.

Inertial confinement: In order to get the nuclei of atoms close enough for fusion this type of method used compression of the nuclei into highly small volumes.This is accomplished by use of lasers which are directed towards the fuel pellets that implode and travel towards other nuclei making fusion possible. It's main advantage is that it requires lesser time to initiate fusion but the disadvantage being that a large power is used to fire the lasers and the lasers should all hit the small target.

Magnetic Confinement: In this method we use a magnetic and electric fields in a properly designed space to keep the plasma in motion. In motion the nuclei of the atoms come close enough to initiate fusion.It's advantage being less power is required to start the process as compared to inertial confinement and the disadvantage being that plasma confinement is currently not properly understood.

Describe a scientific method

laila [671]

The process of <u>scientific method</u> involves making hypotheses , driving predictions from them as logical consequences , and then carrying out experiments or empirical observations based on those predictions. A hypotheses is a conjecture , based on knowledge obtained while seeking answers to the questions.

What region of the spectrum best corresponds to light with a wavelength equal to:_____ a. The diameter of a hydrogen atomb. The

zavuch27 [327]

We will make the comparison between each of the sizes against the known wavelengths.

In the case of the <em>hydrogen atom</em>, we know that this is equivalent to $10^{-10}$ m on average, which corresponds to the wavelength corresponding to X-rays.

In the case of the <em>Virus</em> we know that it is oscillating in a size of 30nm to 200 nm, so the size of the virus is equivalent to the range of the wavelength of an ultraviolet ray.

In the case of <em>height</em>, it fluctuates in a person around $10 ^ 0$ to $10 ^ 1$ m, which falls to the wavelength of a radio wave.
