Vector A with arrow, which is directed along an x axis, is to be added to vector B with arrow, which has a magnitude of 5.5 m. T

he sum is a third vector that is directed along the y axis, with a magnitude that is 6.0 times that of A with arrow. What is the magnitude of A with arrow? (Enter your answer to 4 significant figures.)

Answer:

Magnitude of vector A = 0.904

Explanation:

Vector A , which is directed along an x axis, that is

                   \vec{A}=x_A\hat{i}

Vector B , which has a magnitude of 5.5 m

                   \vec{B}=x_B\hat{i}+y_B\hat{j}

                   \sqrt{x_{B}^{2}+y_{B}^{2}}=5.5\\\\x_{B}^{2}+y_{B}^{2}=30.25

The sum is a third vector that is directed along the y axis, with a magnitude that is 6.0 times that of vector A                    \vec{A}+\vec{B}=6x_A\hat{j}\\\\x_A\hat{i}+x_B\hat{i}+y_B\hat{j}=6x_A\hat{j}

Comparing we will get

                  x_A=-x_B\\\\y_B=6x_A

Substituting in x_{B}^{2}+y_{B}^{2}=30.25

                  \left (-x_{A} \right )^{2}+\left (6x_{A} \right )^{2}=30.25\\\\37x_{A}^2=30.25\\\\x_{A}=0.904

So we have

    \vec{A}=0.904\hat{i}

Magnitude of vector A = 0.904

A spectral line from a star is observed to have a wavelength of 656.5 nm. The rest wavelength of this line is 656.8 nm. (a) What
nignag [31]

Answer:

speed of star is  1.37 × 10^{5} m/s

it is approaching to earth because wavelength of star is decreasing than rest

if emit same wavelength it does not move anywhere

it will remain steady condition with respect earth

Explanation:

given data

wavelength = 656.5 nm

rest wavelength = 656.8 nm

to find out

the speed of the star , is it approaching

solution

we know here equation that is

wavelength shift / wavelength at rest  = velocity of source / speed of light

so put all value and find

velocity of source = 3 × 10^{-9} × 3 × 10^{8} / 656.8 × 10^{-9}

velocity of source star = 1.37 × 10^{5} m/s

and

it is approaching to earth because wavelength of star is decreasing than rest

and

if emit same wavelength it does not move anywhere

it will remain steady condition with respect earth

If a bullet travels at 593.0 m/s, what is its speed in miles per hour?
Ksenya-84 [330]

We have 1 \; mile = 1609.34\; meters. So, 1 \; meter = \frac{1}{1609.34} \;mile.

1 \; hour = 3600 \; s. So 1 \; s = \frac{1}{3600}  \; hour.

Thus we can convert the units of the given quantity.

That is,

593\;m/s=593\;\frac{1/1609.34}{1/3600} \;miles/hour\\
593\;m/s=1,326.51\;miles/hour.

The quantity is converted to the required units.

In an experiment conducted using the Young's double-slit apparatus, the separation between the slits is 20 µm. A first-order con
jeka57 [31]
To solve this problem, we use the formula
λ = s sin θ
where s is the separation and θ is the angle interference
So,
λ = 20 x 10^-6 sin 2.5
λ = 8.72 x 10^-7 m

The required angle for the fourth order bright fringe is
θb = sin⁻¹ (4λ / s) = sin⁻¹ (4 (8.72 x 10^-7 m)/ 20 x 10^-6 ) = 10.04°

The required angle for the fourth order dark fringe is
θd = sin⁻¹ (4.5 λ / s) = sin⁻¹ (4.5 (8.72 x 10^-7 m)/ 20 x 10^-6 ) = 11.31°
