Answer:

True

Explanation:

In fluid dynamics, drag (sometimes called air resistance, a type of friction, or fluid resistance, another type of friction or fluid friction) is a force acting opposite to the relative motion of any object moving with respect to a surrounding fluid.

You use 8x binoculars were used on a warbler (14cm long) in a tree 18cm away. What angle (in degrees) does the image of the warb

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The angle it subtend on the retina is $\theta_z = 0.44586^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the warbler is $L = 14cm = \frac{14}{100} = 0.14m$

The distance from the binoculars is $d = 18cm = \frac{18}{100} = 0.18m$

The magnification of the binoculars is $M =8$

Without the 8 X binoculars the angle made with the angular size of the object is mathematically represented as

$\theta = \frac{L}{d}$

$\theta = \frac{0.14}{0.18}$

$= 0.007778 rad$

Now magnification can be represented mathematically as

$M = \frac{\theta _z}{\theta}$

Where $\theta_z$ is the angle the image of the warbler subtend on your retina when the binoculars i.e the binoculars zoom.

$\theta_z = M * \theta$

=> $\theta_z =8 * 0.007778$

$= 0.0622222224$

Generally the conversion to degrees can be mathematically evaluated as

$\theta_z = 0.062222224 * (\frac{360 }{2 \pi rad} )$

$\theta_z = 0.44586^o$

Which process produces the energy radiated by the star when it becomes a main sequence star?

inysia [295]

The process that produces the energy radiated by stars is nuclear fusion in the core.
For a star on the main sequence, it's the fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium.

2) The horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity of a football are 16 m/s and 20 m/s respectively. How long doe

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: 2.04 s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity be v, Angle of projectile be

Then the horizontal component = v cos θ = 16 m/s

Vertical component of velocity = v sin θ = 20 m/s

Time taken to reach the highest point is half the time taken for total flight.

Time for total flight,

$t = \frac{2vsin \theta}{g}$

$t'=\frac{vsin \theta}{g} = \frac {20 m/s}{9.8 m/s^2} = 2.04 s$

Thus, the football takes 2.04 s to rise to the highest point of its trajectory.
