A "derived unit" is a specific combination of base units with its own name. <em>(3)</em>

Examples:

<u>Combination of base units</u>                       <u>Its own name</u>

kilogram-meter / second²                                 Newton

Coulomb / second                                             Ampere

kilogram-meter² / second² (Newton-meter)     Joule

kilogram-meter² / second³ (Joule / sec)           Watt

A police radar gun uses X-band microwave radiation at a frequency of 12.2 GHz. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, or 3x108
quester [9]

Answer:

A police radar gun uses X-band microwave radiation at a frequency of 13.1 GHz. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, or 3x108 m/s. Since the frequency shift will be small for practical car speeds and difficult to detect, the shifted frequency is compared to the original frequency, and the resulting beat frequency is used to determine the speed of the car.

a.) If Michael is traveling at 29 m/s, what is the resulting beat frequency that the radar gun detects?

ANSWER: 2533 Hz

The x component of vector is -27.3 m and the y component is +43.6 m. (a) What is the magnitude of ? (b) What is the angle betwee
lara [203]

Answer:51.44 units

Explanation:

Given

x component of vector is -27.3\hat{i}

y component of vector is 43.6\hat{j}

so position vector is

r=-27.3\hat{i}+43.6\hat{j}

Magnitude of vector is

|r|=\sqrt{27.3^2+43.6^2}

|r|=\sqrt{2646.25}

|r|=51.44 units

Direction

tan\theta =\frac{43.6}{-27.3}=-1.597

vector is in 2nd quadrant thus

180-\theta =57.94

\theta =122.06^{\circ}

Why do aeroplanes take longer to fly west than east?
PolarNik [594]

Every planet/moon has global wind that are mostly determined by the way the planet/moon rotates and how evenly the Sun illuminates it. On the Earth the equator gets much more Sun than the poles. resulting in warmer air at the equator than the poles and creating circulation cells (or "Hadley Cells") which consist of warm air rising over the equator and then moving North and South from it and back round.

The Earth is also rotating. When any solid body rotates, bits of it that are nearer its axis move slower than those which are further away. As you move north (or south) from the equator, you are moving closer to the axis of the Earth and so the air which started at the equator and moved north (or south) will be moving faster than the ground it is over (it has the rotation speed of the ground at the equator, not the ground which is is now over). This results in winds which always move from the west to the east in the mid latitudes.
