Answer:

The west axis component of walk is, A = 5 miles

The east axis component of walk is, B = 8 miles

Explanation:

Given data,

The displacement of hiker south of west, R = 9.4 miles

The angle formed south of west, Ф = 60°

The vector components along,

                   the west axis is

                                      A = R cosФ

                                       A = 9.4 x cos 60

                                       A = 4.7 miles

                                        A = 5 miles

The west axis component of walk is, A = 5 miles

                    the south axis is

                                      B = R sinФ

                                       B = 9.4 sin 60

                                        B = 8.14 miles

                                         B = 8 miles

The east axis component of walk is, B = 8 miles

What task requires the most work, lifting a 12-kg sack 2 meters or lifting a 25-kg sack 1 meter?
MrMuchimi

Multiply the masses by the respective distances:

(12 kg) (2 m) = 24 J

(25 kg) (1 m) = 25 J

so the heavier bag takes more work to lift, and (b) is the answer.

(d) is technically correct if the sacks are carrying different contents whose masses are not equal, but since we don't know what's inside each sack, assume 12 kg and 25 kg are the masses of each sack *and* their contents.

A spherical capacitor contains a charge of 3.50 nC when connected to a potential difference of 210.0 V. Its plates are separated
Lelu [443]

Incomplete question as we have not told to find what quantity.The complete question is here

A spherical capacitor contains a charge of 3.50 nC when connected to a potential difference of 210.0 V. Its plates are separated by vacuum and the inner radius of the outer shell is 5.00 cm.calculate: (a) the capacitance; (b) the radius of the inner sphere; (c) the electric field just outside the surface of the inner sphere.

Answer:

(a) C=16.7pF

(b) r_{a} =3.749cm

(c) E=2.24*10^{4} N/C

Explanation:

Given data

Q=3.50nC\\V=210V\\r_{b}=5.0cm

For part (a)

The Capacitance given by:

C=\frac{Q}{V}\\ C=\frac{3.50*10^{-9} C}{210V}\\C=1.6666*10^{-11}F\\or\\C=16.7pF

For part (b)

The Capacitance of coordinates is given as

C=\frac{4\pi e}{\frac{1}{r_{a} }-\frac{1}{r_{b} } }\\ So\\{\frac{1}{r_{a} }-\frac{1}{r_{b} } }=\frac{4\pi *8.85*10^{-12} }{1.666*10^{-11}}=6.672m^{-1} \\ \frac{1}{r_{a} }=6.672+(1 /0.05)\\\frac{1}{r_{a} }=26.672\\r_{a} =1/26.672\\r_{a} =0.0375m\\r_{a} =3.749cm

For part (c)

The electric field according to Gauss Law is given by:

EA=\frac{Q}{e}\\ E=\frac{Q}{4\pi er_{a}^{2}  }=\frac{kQ}{r_{a}^{2}}\\  E=\frac{9*10^{9}*3.50*10^{-9} }{(0.0375m)^{2} }\\ E=2.24*10^{4} N/C

Which of the following methods has led to the earliest discoveries of massive planets orbiting near their parent stars a. detect
Mrac [35]

Answer:

c. detecting the gravitational effect of an orbiting planet (The Wobble"") by looking for the Doppler shifts in the star's spectrum

Explanation:

In a solar system the mass of the star and planets affect each other's orbital  movements. The center of gravity of a star and a planet is inside the star. This causes the star to be closer and farther from the Earth at different times. Due to this wobble the star appears to be red shifted when it is farther and blue shifted when it is closer.

When the mass of the planet is high, like a hot Jupiter it causes more wobble i.e., change in radial velocity. This makes it easier to detect the planet. The earliest hot Jupiter found by this method is the planet 51 Pegasi b.
