Student bikes to school by traveling first dN = 1.10 miles north, then dW = 0.300 miles west, and finally dS = 0.200 miles south

.
Part A
Take the north direction as the positive y direction and east as positive x. The origin is still where the student starts biking. Let d⃗ N be the displacement vector corresponding to the first leg of the student's trip. Express d⃗ N in component form.

Taking the vertical component of the displacement
1.1 - 0.2 = 0.9 mile
The horizontal component of the displacement
-0.3 mile

The magnitude of the displacement is
√[ (0.9)² + (-0.3) ] = 0.95 mile

The direction is
θ = tan-1 (-0.3/0.9)
θ = 161.57 degrees.

A double-slit experiment yields an interference pattern due to the path length difference from light traveling through one slit
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Therefore the correct statement is B.

Explanation:

In the interference and diffraction phenomena, the natural wave of electromagnetic radiation must be taken into account, the wave front that advances towards the slit can be considered as when it reaches it behaves like a series of wave emitters, each slightly out of phase from the previous one, following the Huygens principle that states that each point is compiled as a source of secondary waves.

The sum of all these waves results in the diffraction curve of the slit that has the shape

      I = Io sin² θ /θ²

Where the angle is a function of the wavelength and the width of the slit.

From the above, the interference phenomenon can be treated as the sum of two diffraction phenomena displaced a distance equal to the separation of the slits (d)

Therefore the correct statement is B

A stone is dropped into a river from a bridge at a height h above the water. Another stone is thrown vertically down at a time t
Mumz [18]

Answer:

v_{y_0} = \frac{\frac{g}{2}t(t - 2\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t}

Explanation:

We will apply the equations of kinematics to both stones separately.

First stone:

Let us denote the time spent after the second stone is thrown as 'T'.

y - y_0 = v_{y_0}(t+T) + \frac{1}{2}a(t+T)^2\\0 - h = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(-g)(t+T)^2\\(t+T)^2 = \frac{2h}{g}\\T = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}-t

Second stone:

y - y_0 = v_{y_0}T + \frac{1}{2}aT^2\\0 - h = v_{y_0}T -\frac{1}{2}gT^2\\-h = v_{y_0}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t) - \frac{g}{2}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t)^2\\-h = v_{y_0}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t) - \frac{g}{2}(\frac{2h}{g} + t^2 - 2t\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})\\-h = v_{y_0}\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - v_{y_0}t - h -\frac{g}{2}t^2 + gt\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\\v_{y_0}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t) = \frac{g}{2}t^2 - gt\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\\v_{y_0} = \frac{\frac{g}{2}t(t - 2\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t}

Why is it important that two different metals are used in building an electrochemic<br> cell?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

They need a galvanic difference. Or saying that less technically,  they need to have different electron attraction, so that one can collect electrons (oxidation/reduction)  and flow current from the other.  :)

An electron with a charge of -1.6 × 10-19 coulombs experiences a field of 1.4 × 105 newtons/coulomb. What is the magnitude of th
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Electric force, F=2.24\times 10^{-14}\ N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on an electron is -1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Electric field, E=1.4\times 10^5\ N/m

We need to find the magnitude of the electric force on this electron due to this field. The electric force is given by :

F=qE\\\\F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.4\times 10^5\\\\F=2.24\times 10^{-14}\ N

So, the electric force is 2.24\times 10^{-14}\ N.

The kinetic energy K of a moving object varies jointly with its mass m and the square of its velocity v. If an object weighing 4
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

K' = 1777.777  J

Explanation:

Given that

m = 40 kg

v= 15 m/s

K=1000

Given that kinetic energy(K) varies with mass(m) and velocity(v)

 K= C(mv²)

Where

C= Constant

m=mass

v=velocity

When

m = 40 kg ,v= 15 m/s ,K=1000

 K= C(mv²)

1000 = C( 40 x 15²)

C=0.111111

When m = 40 kg and v= 20 m/s

K' = C(mv²)

K= 0.1111 x (40 x 20²)

K' = 1777.777  J
