The magnitude of a force vector is 89.6 newtons (N). The x component of this vector is directed along the +x axis and has a magn

insens350 [35]

Answer:

(a) θ = 33.86°

(b) Ay = 49.92 N

Explanation:

You have that the magnitude of a vector is A = 89.6 N

The x component of such a vector is Ax = 74.4 N

(a) To find the angle between the vector and the x axis you use the following formula for the calculation of the x component of a vector:

$A_x=Acos\theta$ (1)

Ax: x component of vector A

A: magnitude of vector A

θ: angle between vector A and the x axis

You solve the equation (1) for θ, by using the inverse of cosine function:

$\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{A_x}{A})=cos{-1}(\frac{74.4N}{89.6N})\\\\\theta=33.86\°$

the angle between the A vector and the x axis is 33.86°

(b) The y component of the vector is given by:

$A_y=Asin\theta\\\\A_y=(89.6N)sin(33.86\°)=49.92N$

the y comonent of the vecor is Ay = 49.92 N

In Lesson 20, a magnesium strip was used to ignite the thermite reaction. When magnesium is placed in a flame from a small blow

nadezda [96]

Answer:

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.

Explanation:

The chemical reaction between magnesium and oxygen gives magnesium oxide as a product.The reaction is chemically represented as:

$2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)$

Magnesium is a metal of group-2 with 2 valence electrons.It has atomic number of 12.

$[Mg]=1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

In order to attain noble gas configuration it will loose two electrons.

$[Mg]^{2+}=1s^22s^22p^6$

$Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-$ ...[1]

Oxygen is a non metal of group-16 with 6 valence electrons..It has atomic number of 8.

$[O]=1s^22s^22p^4$

In order to attain noble gas configuration it will gain two electrons.

$[O]^{2-}=1s^22s^22p^6$

$O+2e^-\rightarrow O^{2-}$ ..[2]

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.

Suppose a certain jet plane creates an intensity level of 124 dB at a distance of 5.01 m. What intensity level does it create on

Zolol [24]

Answer:71 dB

Explanation:

Given

sound Level $\beta _1=124 dB$

distance $r_1=5.01 m$

From sound Intensity

$\beta =10dB\log (\frac{I_1}{I_0})$

$124=10dB\log (\frac{I_1}{I_0})$

$12.4=\log (\frac{I_1}{I_0})$

$I_1=(1\times 10^{-12})\times 10^{12.4}$

$I_1=2.51 W/m^2$

we know Intensity $I\propto ^\frac{1}{r^2}$

$I_1r_1^2=I_2r_2^2$

$I_2=I_1(\frac{r_1}{r_2})^2$

$I_2=2.51\cdot (\frac{5.01}{2.25\times 10^3})^2$

$I_2=1.24\times 10^{-5} W/m^2$

Sound level corresponding to $I_2$

$\beta _2=10\log (\frac{I_2}{I_0})$

$\beta _2=10\log (\frac{1.24\times 10^{-5}}{1\times 10^{-12}})$

$\beta _2=70.93\approx 71 dB$
