Answer:

a)(2.82, 1.03) and (-2.68, 2.25)

b) 5.63 m

Explanation:

a) The Cartesian coordinates of point (3.00 m, 20.0°) is

(3cos20.0°, 3sin20.0°) = (2.82, 1.03) m

The Cartesian coordinates of point (3.5 m, 140.0°) is

(3.5cos140.0°, 3.5sin140.0°) = (-2.68, 2.25) m

b) The distance between them

d = \sqrt{(2.82 - (-2.68))^2 + (1.03 - 2.25)^2} = \sqrt{5.5^2 + 1.22^2} = 5.63m

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) Cartesian coordinate (2.8191m, 1.0260m) and (-2.6810m, 2.2498m)

(b) distance = 5.6346m

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Given a polar coordinate (r, θ);

Its Cartesian coordinate is (x, y) where;

x = r cos θ

y = r sin θ

Now, given the polar coordinate (3.00, 20.0⁰)

Its Cartesian coordinate is (x, y) where

x = 3.00 cos 20.0° = 3.00 x 0.9397 = 2.8191m

y = 3.00 sin 20.0° = 3.00 x 0.3420 = 1.0260m

Therefore,

Polar coordinate (3.00m, 20.0°) = Cartesian coordinate (2.8191m, 1.0260m)

Also,

Now, given the polar coordinate (3.50, 140.0⁰)

Its Cartesian coordinate is (x, y) where

x = 3.50 cos 140.0° = 3.50 x -0.7660 = -2.6810m

y = 3.40 sin 140.0° = 3.50 x 0.6428 = 2.2498m

Therefore,

Polar coordinate (3.50m, 140.0°) = Cartesian coordinate (-2.6810m, 2.2498m)

(a) Polar coordinates (3.00m, 20.0°) and (3.50m, 140.0°) = Cartesian coordinate (2.8191m, 1.0260m) and (-2.6810m, 2.2498m)

(b) To calculate the distance between them, it is easier to use the values from the Cartesian representation as follows;

distance = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2}  + (y_{2} - y_{1})^{2} }

where;

(x_{1}, y_{1}) = (2.8191m, 1.0260m) and

(x_{2}, y_{2}) = (-2.6810m, 2.2498m)

=> distance = \sqrt{(-2.6810 - 2.8191)^{2} + (2.2498 - 1.0260)^{2} }

=> distance = \sqrt{(-5.5001)^{2} + (1.2238)^{2} }

=> distance = \sqrt{30.2511+1.4977}

=> distance = \sqrt{31.7488}

=> distance = 5.6346m

The diagram shows waves of sound travelling through the air. By which factor is the sound intensity decreased at 3 meters?
SIZIF [17.4K]
The diagram is missing; however, we know that the intensity of a sound wave is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source:
I(r)= \frac{1}{r^2}
where I is the intensity and r is the distance from the source.

We can assume for instance that the initial distance from the source is r=1 m, so that we put 
I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(1)^2}=1
The intensity at r=3 m will be
I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(3)^2}= \frac{1}{9}
Therefore, the sound intensity has decreased by a factor 1/9.

How does the law of conservation apply to Earth's Energy Budget?
Molodets [167]

Answer:

The balance between incoming energy from the sun and outgoing energy from Earth ultimately drives our climate. This energy balance is governed by the first law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of conservation of energy.

In a popular classroom demonstration, a cotton ball is placed in the bottom of a strong test tube. A plunger fits inside the tub
mario62 [17]

Answer:

An increase in air temperature because of its compression.

Explanation:

The Gay-Lussac's Law states that a gas pressure is directly proportional to its temperature in an enclosed system to constant volume.  

P = kT  

<em>where P: is the gas pressure, T: is the gas temperature and k: is a constant.</em>

Therefore, due to Gay-Lussac's Law, when the plunger is pushed down very rapidly, the pressure of the air increase, which leads to its temperature increase. That is why cotton flashes and burns.      

I hope it helps you!
