A mouse spots an owl flying 10.1 feet over a nearby bush. The mouse is 30 feet away from the bush, and it sees the owl at a cert

ain angle of elevation. Which trigonometric equation can be used to solve for x, the angle of elevation from the mouse to the owl?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

fly is at height of h=10.1\ ft

mouse is at a distance of 30 ft from bush

if \theta  is the angle of elevation then

using trigonometric relation

\tan \theta =\frac{h}{x}

\tan \theta =\frac{10.1}{30}

\theta =tan^{-1}(\frac{10.1}{30})

\theta =18.57^{\circ}

An electron in a vacuum is first accelerated by a voltage of 51400 V and then enters a region in which there is a uniform magnet
zimovet [89]

Answer:

       F = 8.6 10⁻¹² N

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the law of conservation of energy

Initial. Field energy with the electron at rest

         Em₀ = U = q ΔV

Final. Electron with velocity, just out of the electric field

         Emf = K = ½ m v²

          Em₀ = Emf

          e ΔV = ½ m v²

          v =√ 2 e ΔV / m

          v = √(2 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 51400 / 9.1 10⁻³¹)

           v = √(1.8075 10¹⁶)

           v = 1,344 10⁸ m / s

Now we can use the equation of the magnetic force

         F = q v x B

Since the speed and the magnetic field are perpendicular the force that

        F = e v B

        F = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹  1.344 10⁸ 0.4

       For this exercise we use the law of conservation of energy

Initial. Field energy with the electron at rest

         Emo = U = q DV

Final. Electron with velocity, just out of the electric field

         Emf = K = ½ m v2

          Emo = Emf

          .e DV = ½ m v2

          .v = RA 2 e DV / m

          .v = RA (2 1.6 10-19 51400 / 9.1 10-31)

           .v = RA (1.8075 10 16)

           .v = 1,344 108 m / s

Now we can use the equation of the magnetic force

         F = q v x B

Since the speed and the magnetic field are perpendicular the force that

        F = e v B

       F = 1.6 10-19 1,344 108 0.4

       F = 8.6 10-12 N

Section of two thermometers are shown. The thermometer on the left is labeled A and the thermometer on the right is labeled B. T
jolli1 [7]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) Thermometer B, because it measures temperature more accurately than A.

Explanation :

Accuracy : It is defined as the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.

For Example: If the mass of a substance is 50 kg and one person weighed 48 kg and another person weighed 55 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.

Precision : It is defined as the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

For Example: If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 1.8 kg each time. Then the measurement is said to be precise.

Level of precision is determined by the maximum number of decimal places.

As per question, the thermometer B has markings 40°, 45° and 50° at equal intervals and there are four small markings equally spaced in between the numbers and thermometer B has markings 40°, 45° and 50° at equal intervals but there is no small markings equally spaced in between the numbers. That means, thermometer B is measures temperature more accurately than thermometer A.

Hence, correct option is, (b) Thermometer B, because it measures temperature more accurately than A.
