c is located 77.9 ° north of east relative to deer
a. the distance between deer b and c is 96.8 m. what is the distance between deer a and c
a. the distance between deer b and c is 96.8 m. what is the distance between deer a and c
1 answer:
Make an illustration of the problem to aid you in analyzing your approach to solve this. As seen on the picture, it forms a triangle. Since the total interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180°, then the missing angle would be: 180 - 53.4 - 77.9 = 48.7°. Applying the Cosine Law,
x² = 64.9² + 96.8² - 2(64.9)(96.8)(cos 48.7°)
x = √5289.567
x = 72.7 meters
x² = 64.9² + 96.8² - 2(64.9)(96.8)(cos 48.7°)
x = √5289.567
x = 72.7 meters

The force exerted by a magnetic field on a wire carrying current is:
where I is the current, L the length of the wire, B the magnetic field intensity, and
the angle between the wire and the direction of B.
In our problem, the force is F=0.20 N. The current is I=1.40 A, while the length of the wire is L=35.0 cm=0.35 m. The angle between the wire and the magnetic field is
, so we can re-arrange the formula and substitute the numbers to find B:

When a charged particle moves at right angle to a uniform magnetic field, it experiences a force whose magnitude os given by
where q is the charge of the particle, v is the velocity, B is the strength of the magnetic field.
This force acts as a centripetal force, keeping the particle in a circular motion - so we can write
which can be rewritten as
The velocity can be rewritten as the ratio between the lenght of the circumference and the period of revolution (T):
So, we get:
We see that this the period of revolution is directly proportional to the mass of the particle: therefore, if the second particle is 10 times as massive, then its period will be 10 times longer.
B)
The frequency of revolution of a particle in uniform circular motion is
where
f is the frequency
T is the period
We see that the frequency is inversely proportional to the period. Therefore, if the period of the more massive particle is 10 times that of the smaller particle:
T' = 10 T
Then its frequency of revolution will be:
