Answer:

(B) L=W; F=D

Explanation:

Since the airplane's velocity is constant, the airplane is not accelerating in any direction. In absence of acceleration, all forces acting on the plane are balanced so that the net forces in the horizontal and the vertical directions are zero. Given the drawing, this implies that

Forward force = Drag force (F=D)

Weight = Lift (W=L)

which corresponds to option (B)

(it is not C because nothing in the text says that the vertical and horizontal components have to have same magnitude)

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

the light emitting must be of greater wavelength

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the Planck equation

             E = h f

And the speed of light

            c = λ f

            f = c / λ

We replace

            E = h c / λ

The wavelength of the green light is of the order of 500 nm, let's calculate the energy

          E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴  3 10⁸ /λ

          E = 1,989 10⁻²⁵ /λ

          λ = 500 nm = 500 10⁻⁹ m

          E = 1,989 10⁻²⁵ / 500 10⁻⁹

          E = 3,978 10⁻¹⁹ J

That is the energy of the transition for a transition is an intermediate state the energy must be less, this implies that the wavelength must increase. For the explicit case of a state with half of this energy

            E_{int} = E / 2

             E_{int} = 3,978 10⁻¹⁹ / 2 = 1,989 10⁻¹⁹

Let's clear and calculate

           λ = h c / E

           λ = 1,989 10⁻²⁵ / 1,989 10⁻¹⁹

           λ = 1 10⁻⁶ m

Let's reduce to nm

          λ = 1000 nm

This wavelength is in the infrared region

the light emitting must be of greater wavelength

(a) What is the potential between two points situated 10 cm and 20 cm from a 3.0-μC point charge? (b) To what location should th
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

(a) 135 kV

(b) The charge chould be moved to infinity

Explanation:

(a)

The potential at a distance of <em>r</em> from a point charge, <em>Q</em>, is given by

V = -\dfrac{kQ}{r}

where k = 9\times 10^9 \text{ F/m}

Difference in potential between the points is

kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{0.2\text{ m}} -\left( -\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right] = \dfrac{kQ}{0.2\text{ m}} = \dfrac{9\times10^9\text{ F/m}\times3\times10^{-6}\text{ C}}{0.2\text{ m}}

PD = 135\times 10^3\text{ V} = 135\text{ kV}

(b)

If this potential difference is increased by a factor of 2, then the new pd = 135 kV × 2 = 270 kV. Let the distance of the new location be <em>x</em>.

270\times10^3 = kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{x}-\left(-\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right]

10 - \dfrac{1}{x} = \dfrac{270000}{9\times10^9\times3\times10^{-6}} = 10

\dfrac{1}{x} = 0

x = \infty

The charge chould be moved to infinity
