A person walks 4.0 kilometers north, then 4.0 kilometers west. His displacement is closest to

1 answer:

7 0

Use the Pythagoras for the magnitude and the tan^-1 x = -1 for the angle

displacement = 4^2 + 4^2 = 32 = 4 sqrt(2) = 5.65 km

angle is 135 degrees.

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling at

amid [387]

Kinetic energy increases with the square of the velocity (KE=1/2*m*v^2). If the velocity is doubled, the KE quadruples. Therefore, the stopping distance should increase by a factor of four, assuming that the driver is can apply the brakes with sufficient precision to almost lock the brakes.

What will be the force if the particle's charge is tripled and the electric field strength is halved? Give your answer in terms

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

1.5F

Explanation:

Using

E= F/q

Where F= force

E= electric field

q=charge

F= Eq

So if qis tripled and E is halved we have

F= (E/2)3q

F= 1.5Eq=>> 1.5F

The Event Horizon Telescope needs a 22 micro-arcsecond resolution to view the event horizon regions around black holes. If the a

likoan [24]

Answer:

14869817.395 m

Explanation:

$\theta$ =22 microarcsecond

λ = Wavelength = 1.3 mm

Converting to radians we get

$22\times 10^{-6}\frac{\pi}{180\times 3600}\ radians$

From Rayleigh Criterion

$\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{\lambda}{\theta}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{1.3\times 10^{-3}}{22\times 10^{-6}\frac{\pi}{180\times 3600}}\\\Rightarrow D=14869817.395\ m$

Diameter of the effective primary objective is 14869817.395 m

It is not possible to build one telescope with a diameter of 14869817.395 m. But, we need this type of telescope. So, astronomers use an array of radio telescopes to achieve a virtual diameter in order to observe objects that are the size of supermassive black hole's event horizon.

Find the GCF 12, 18, and 84

ahrayia [7]

To find the answer, plot down the factors for every number.

12: 1, 2 ,3 ,4, 6, 12

18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

84: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12

If you noticed, the number that was common to the 3 numbers, were 1, 2, 3, and 6
And 6 is the bigger number
So 6 is your GCF
