As these are distances created by moving in a straight line, using a trigonometric analysis can solve the missing single straight-line displacement. Looking at the 48m and 12m movements as legs of a triangle, obtaining the hypotenuse using the pythagorean theorem will yield us the correct answer.
This is shown below:

c^2 = 48^2 + 12^2
c = sqrt(2304 + 144)
c = sqrt(2448)
c = 49.48 m

To obtain the angle at which Anthony walks 49.48, we obtain the arc tangent of (12/48). This is shown below:

arc tan (12/48) =14.04 degrees.

Therefore, Anthony could have walked 49.48 m towards the S 14.04 W direction.

A helium nucleus (charge = 2e, mass = 6.63 10-27 kg) traveling at 6.20 105 m/s enters an electric field, traveling from point ci
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

v_B=3.78\times 10^5\ m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on helium nucleus is 2e and its mass is 6.63\times 10^{-27}\ kg

Speed of nucleus at A is v_A=6.2\times 10^5\ m/s

Potential at point A, V_A=1.5\times 10^3\ V

Potential at point B, V_B=4\times 10^3\ V

We need to find the speed at point B on the circle. It is based on the concept of conservation of energy such that :

increase in kinetic energy = increase in potential×charge

\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_A^2-v_B^2)=(V_B-V_A)q\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_A^2-v_B^2)={(4\times 10^3-1.5\times 10^3)}\times 2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}=8\times 10^{-16}\\\\v_A^2-v_B^2=\dfrac{2\times 8\times 10^{-16}}{6.63\times 10^{-27}}\\\\v_A^2-v_B^2=2.41\times 10^{11}\\\\v_B^2=(6.2\times 10^5)^2-2.41\times 10^{11}\\\\v_B=3.78\times 10^5\ m/s

So, the speed at point B is 3.78\times 10^5\ m/s.

What speed must an electron have if its momentum is to be the same as that of an x-ray photon with a wavelength of 0.30?
lorasvet [3.4K]

The momentum of the x-ray photon is p = h/lambda . Lambda is the wavelength (0.30nm=3x10^(-9)m) and h is Planck's constant,(h=6.62607004 × 10-34<span> m2 kg / s).The momentum is: 2.2 x 10^(-25).</span>

The momentum can be calculated also as: p=mv, where m is the mass of the electron and v is the speed.

So v=p/m,p is known,and also the mass of the electron (m=9.10938356 × 10-31<span> kilograms).</span>

v=2.2 x 10^(-25)/9.10938356 × 10-31<span> kilograms=0.24 x 10^6 m/s</span>

Warning triangles, flares, a vehicle's hazard lights, or emergency vehicles ahead, are all clues that you might be approaching _
daser333 [38]

Answer:

B. A collision scene

Explanation:

It could have been a parade ceremony, but, if you notice the vehicle's hazard lights or an emergency vehicle ahead, it is common sense to figure that they is a collision scene nearby.
