Answer:

$2.32\times 10^{-11}$

Explanation:

First number is $4.48\times 10^{-8}$

Second number is $5.2\times 10^{-4}$

We need to multiply the two numbers.

$4.48\times 10^{-8}\times 5.2\times 10^{-4}=(4.48\times 5.2)\times 10^{(-8-4)}\\\\=23.296\times 10^{-12}$

In scientific notation : $2.32\times 10^{-11}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Who did not have experimental evidence to support his theory of the atom? Dalton Thomson Rutherford Democritus

Aloiza [94]

Democritus was the one who did not have experimental evidence to support his theory of the atom.

Answer: Option 4

Explanation:

The discovery of atoms were first stated by Democritus but due to the absence of any experimental proof, his statement was not noted as significant at that time.

After this, Dalton made the specific assumptions formulating some postulates for the atomic theory with proof. Then the cathode rays tube experiments performed by Thomson lead to the formation of plum pudding models of atom.

This is followed by Rutherford’s gold foil experiment discovering the presence of nucleus inside the atoms. So, Democritus first stated but due to absence of experimental evidences, his theory of atoms were not supported at that time.

Which of the following statements are true about the international system of measurement?

anygoal [31]

The International System Units or the SI units is scientific method of expressing the magnitudes or quantities of important natural phenomena. There are seven base units in the system, from which other units are derived. This system was formerly called the meter-kilogram-second (MKS) system.

Two mirrors are touching so they have an angle of 35.4 degrees with one another. A light ray is incident on the first at an angl

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

54.6°

Explanation:

From law of reflection i=r.

So, construct the reflected ray at 55.7°degrees from the normal and let it fall on the other mirror.

Now draw the second normal at the point of incidence and again measure the angle of incidence, and draw the angle of reflection.

If you consider triangle AOB, one angle is ∠AOB=90°

and ∠OAB is 54.6°

From angle sum property third angle ie ∠ABO=180°-90°-54.6°=35.4°

So, the second incident angle will be 54.6°

Hence, the second reflected angle will be 54.6 degrees.

The distance of Saturn from the sun is: < 1 A.U. > 1 A.U. = 1 A.U.

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

1 astronomical unit is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun; approximately 150 million km. At its closest point, Saturn is 9 AU, and then at its most distant point, it's 10.1 AU. Saturn's average distance from the Sun is 9.6 AU. We have written many articles about Saturn for Universe Today.

An airplane is heading due south at a speed of 690 km/h . A) If a wind begins blowing from the southwest at a speed of 90 km/h (

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:a) 629,5851 km/h in magnitude b)629,5851 km/h at 84,2 degrees from east pointing south direction or in vector form 626,6396 km/h south + 63,6396km/h east. c) 16,5 km NE of the desired position

Explanation:

Since the plane is flying south at 690 km/h and the wind is blowing at assumed constant speed of 90 km/h from SW, we get a triangle relation where

see fig 1

Then we can decompose those 90 km/h into vectors, one north and one east, both of the same magnitude, since the angle is 45 degrees with respect to the east, that is direction norhteast or NE, then

90 km/h NE= 63,6396 km/h north + 63,6396 km/h east,

this because we have an isosceles triangle, then the cathetus length is

hypotenuse/ $\sqrt{2}$

using Pythagoras, here the hypotenuse is 90, then the cathetus are of length

90/ $\sqrt{2}$ km/h= 63,6396 km/h.

Now the total speed of the plane is

690km/h south + 63,6396 km/h north +63,6396 km/h east,

this is 626,3604 km/h south + 63,6396 km/h east, here north is as if we had -south.

then using again Pythagoras we get the magnitude of the total speed it is

$\sqrt{626,3604 ^2+63,6396^2} km/h=629,5851km/h$ ,

the direction is calculated with respect to the south using trigonometry, we know the

sin x= cathetus opposed / hypotenuse,

then

x= $sin^{-1}'frac{63,6396}{629,5851}$ =5,801 degrees from South as reference (0 degrees) in East direction or as usual 84,2 degrees from east pointing south or in vector form

626,6396 km/h south + 63,6396km/h east.

Finally since the detour is caused by the west speed component plus the slow down caused by the north component of the wind speed, we get

Xdetour{east}= 63,6396 km/h* (11 min* h)/(60 min)=11,6672 km=Xdetour{north} ,

since 11 min=11/60 hours=0.1833 hours.

Then the total detour from the expected position, the one it should have without the influence of the wind, we get

Xdetour=[/tex]\sqrt{2* 11,6672x^{2} }[/tex] = 16,5km at 45 degrees from east pointing north

The situation is sketched as follows see fig 2
