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

<span>The line that is drawn perpendicular to the point at which a wave intersects a boundary is know as the Normal .

When the normal is drawn, the incident ray makes an angle with it known as the angle of incidence and the reflected ray makes an angle with it known as the angle of incidence. These angles are always equal.
 
The refracted ray makes an angle with the normal known as angle of refraction. The sin of angle of incidence to the sin of angle of refraction is called the refractive index( </span>μ= <span>sin i / sin r) .

Astronomers can now report that active star formation was going on at a time when the universe was only 20% as old as it is toda
disa [49]

Answer:

First, as you may know, the light travels at a given velocity.

In vaccum, this velocity is c = 3x10^8 m/s.

And we know that:

distance = velocity*time

Now, if some object (like a star ) is really far away, the light that comes from that star may take years to reach the Earth.

This means that the images that the astronomers see today, actually happened years and years ago (So the night sky is like a picture of the "past" of the universe)

Also, for example, if an astronomer sees some particular thing, he can apply a model (a "simplification" of some phenomena that is used to simplify it an explain it) and with the model, the scientist can infer the information of the given thing some time before it was seen.

The moment of inertia of a thin uniform rod of mass M and length L about an Axis perpendicular to the rod through its Centre is
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

I = I₀ + M(L/2)²

Explanation:

Given that the moment of inertia of a thin uniform rod of mass M and length L about an Axis perpendicular to the rod through its Centre is I₀.

The parallel axis theorem for moment of inertia states that the moment of inertia of a body about an axis passing through the centre of mass is equal to the sum of the moment of inertia of the body about an axis passing through the centre of mass and the product of mass and the square of the distance between the two axes.

The moment of inertia of the body about an axis passing through the centre of mass is given to be I₀

The distance between the two axes is L/2 (total length of the rod divided by 2

From the parallel axis theorem we have

I = I₀ + M(L/2)²
