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

A 0.600 m long pendulum is used to determine the acceleration due to gravity on a distant plane. If 20 oscillations are complete
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

7.50 m/s^2

Explanation:

The period of a pendulum is given by:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} (1)

where

L = 0.600 m is the length of the pendulum

g = ? is the acceleration due to gravity


In this problem, we can find the period T. In fact, the frequency is equal to the number of oscillations per second, so:

f=\frac{N}{t}=\frac{20}{35.5 s}=0.563 Hz

And the period is the reciprocal of the frequency:

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.563 Hz}=1.776 s

And by using this into eq.(1), we can find the value of g:

g=\frac{4 \pi^2 L}{T^2}=\frac{4 \pi^2 (0.600 m)}{(1.776 s)^2}=7.50 m/s^2

If the potential difference across the bulb in a camping lantern is 9.0 V, what is the
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

9V

Explanation:

The potential difference across the terminal as the same and thats because we are assuming that the source has no internal resistance.

Internal resistance are usually little resistances in the supply.

The driving force behind an efficient supply chain is __________.
Doss [256]
Customer satisfaction is considered to be the "driving force" in order to achieve an efficient supply chain. An efficient supply chain takes place when the organization, or the company itself, meets with the demands of the consumers to improve and provides services that satisfies the people.

An alpha particle (α), which is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, is momentarily at rest in a region of space occupied by an elect
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Speed of the alpha particle is v=1.8180\times 10^3m/sec      

Explanation:

We have given charge on alpha particle q=3.2\times 10^{-19}C

Mass of the alpha particle m=6.68\times 10^{-27}kg

Potential difference V=-3.45\times 10^{-3}volt

We have to find the speed of the alpha particle

From energy conservation we know that

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=qV

\frac{1}{2}\times 6.68\times 10^{-27}\times v^2=3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 3.45\times 10^{-3}

v=1.8180\times 10^3m/sec
