Answer:

3.44 metres

Explanation:

To determine the vector sum of the displacements Δd1 = 2.4 m [32° S of W]; Δd2 = 1.6 m [S]; and Δd3 = 4.9 m [27° S of E], resolve the given parameters into x - component and y - component.

Resolving into x - component

- 2.4cos32 + 4.9cos27 = 2.3306

Resolving into y - component

- 2.4sin32 - 4.9sin27 - 1.6 = - 2.553

The vector sum of the displacement will be

Sqrt( 2.3^2 + 2.6^2) =

Sqrt ( 11.81)

3.44 m

Therefore, the vector sum of the displacements is 3.44 metres

Plain electromagnetic wave (in air) has a frequency of 1 MHz and its B-field amplitude is 9 nT a. What is the wavelength in air?

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Part a)

$\lambda = 300 m$

Part b)

$E = 2.7 N/C$

Part c)

$I = 9.68 \times 10^{-3} W/m^2$

$P = 3.22 \times 10^{-11} N/m^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that frequency = 1 MHz

speed of electromagnetic wave is same as speed of light

So the wavelength is given as

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$

$\lambda = \frac{3\times 10^8}{1\times 10^6}$

$\lambda = 300 m$

Part b)

As we know the relation between electric field and magnetic field

$E = Bc$

$E = (9 \times 10^{-9})(3\times 10^8)$

$E = 2.7 N/C$

Part c)

Intensity of wave is given as

$I = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0E^2c$

$I = \frac{1}{2}(8.85 \times 10^{-12})(2.7)^2(3\times 10^8)$

$I = 9.68 \times 10^{-3} W/m^2$

Pressure is defined as ratio of intensity and speed

$P = \frac{I}{c} = \frac{9.68\times 10^{-3}}{3\times 10^8}$

$P = 3.22 \times 10^{-11} N/m^2$

A train travels 90 kilometers in 1 hour, and then 82 kilometers in 5 hours. What is it’s average speed?

PIT_PIT [208]

Distance is 90km,time 1 hr
distance 2 is 82km,time 5 hrs
average speed=total distance travelled/total time taken.
90+82=172/5+1=6
average speed=28.7km over hour

Forces occur in pairs and can be either balanced or unbalanced. Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion. Unbalanced Forces do cause a change in motion.
