A plane flies from base camp to lake a, a distance of 290 km at a direction of 20.0° north of east. after dropping off supplies,

the plane flies to lake b, which is 170 km and 30.0° west of north from lake
a. graphically determine the distance and direction from lake b to the base camp.

We can simply find components of the given directions and conveniently add them up to find the total distance.

290 km 20 deg north of east can be decomposed as :

290 x cos(20) EAST + 290 sin(20) NORTH

=272.5 E + 99.18 N

Now from this point ,

170 Km 30 deg west of north :

170 cos(30) N - 170 sin (30) E   [ east = - west]

= 147.22 N - 85 E

hence coordinates of lake b are

(272.5 - 85) E + (99.18 + 147.22)N

187.5 E +264.4 N

use right triangle property to find distance D = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}

D = 324.13 Km

and angle = atan(b/a) = 54.65 deg

hence lake b is at 324.13 Km 54.65 deg east of north

During the developing of a TLC plate, it is common to place a cover on the chromatography chamber and have a piece of moist filt
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The moist filter paper is in charge of preventing evaporation and ensuring the proper saturation of the air of the chromatography chamber.

Explanation:

Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is a chromatography technique used to separate non-volatile mixtures.

A strip of moist filter paper is put into the chromatography chamber so that its bottom touches the solvent and the paper lies on the chamber wall and reaches almost to the top of the container.

The container is closed and left for a few minutes to let the solvent vapors ascend the moist filter paper and saturate the air in the chamber.

The moist filter paper is in charge of preventing evaporation and ensuring the proper saturation of the air of the chamber.

Nio conducts a science experiment. He puts yeast into a bottle with water and sugar, and then caps the bottle with a balloon. He
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When yeast is added into a bottle with water and sugar then after some time yeast becomes activated. This results in the formation of a chemical change as bubbles are formed on the surface of the mixture in the bottle.

This indicates that a gas has been released due to the chemical change.

Thus, we can conclude that most likely a chemical change has occurred because a gas was produced.

You throw a 50.0g blob of clay directly at the wall with an initial velocity of -5.00 m/s i. The clay sticks to the wall, and th
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:0.25 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of blob m=50 gm

initial velocity u=-5 m/s\ \hat{i}

time of collision t=20 ms

we know Impulse is equal to change in momentum

initial momentum P_i=mu

P_i=50\times 10^{-3}\times (-5)=-0.25 kg-m/s

Final momentum P_f=50\times 10^{-3}v

P_f=0 as final velocity is zero

Impulse J=P_f-P_i

J=0-(-0.25)

J=0.25 kg-m/s

You must exert a force of 4.5 N on a book to slide it across a table. If you do 2.7J
hoa [83]

Answer: 0.6m

Explanation:

Given that:

force = 4.5 N

Work done = 2.7J

Distance moved by the book = ?

Since work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance, apply the formula:

work = force x distance

2.7J = 4.5N x distance

Distance = (2.7J / 4.5N)

Distance = 0.6 m

Thus, the book was moved 0.6 metres far
