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

A resistor is made out of a long wire having a length L. Each end of the wire is attached to a termina of a battery providing a
Len [333]

Answer:

B) 2I

Explanation:

The equation that relates voltage, current and resistance is V=RI.

The equation for the resistance of a material in terms of its resistivity, length and cross-sectional area is R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

In this case, the length is divided by 2 while keeping its resistivity (since it's the same material) and area, which means the resistance gets divided by 2. Then, looking at the equation I=V/R and keeping V constant, one deduces that since the resistance now is half than before then current now must be twice as before.

This is all intuitive in fact, cuting a homogeneous resistor in half and leaving the rest of the variables constant makes twice as easy for the electrons to cross the conductor, thus twice the current (one has to know that all the variables involved behave linearly, as the equations show).

The energy of a photon is proportional to its a) amplitude. d) wave number, k-2m/A c) velocity. b) frequency
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Frequency

Explanation:

Photons are the packet of energy. They are massless and chargeless particles. They travel in the vacuum with the speed of light. The energy of photon is given by :

E=h\nu

Where

h = Planck's constant

\nu = frequency of photon

Or E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

c = speed of light

\lambda = wavelength of photon

From the above equation, it is clear that the energy of photon is directly proportional to its frequency.

nordsb [41]

Answer: C Heat Transfer, E Addition of Volatiles and A Decompression

Explanation:

- Decompression melting takes place within Earth when a body of rock is held at approximately the same temperature but the pressure is reduced.

A cake is removed from a 350◦F oven and placed on a cooling rack in a 70◦F room. After 30 minutes the cake is 200◦F. When will i
galben [10]

Answer:

350 F to 100 F it take approx 87.33 min  

Explanation:

given data

oven = 350◦F

cooling rack = 70◦F

time = 30 min

cake = 200◦F

solution

we apply here Newtons law of cooling  

\frac{dT}{dt} = -k(T-Ta)

\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} (T(t) -Ta)

= \frac{dT}{dt} -\frac{dTa}{dt} =\frac{dT}{dt} = -k(T-Ta)

-ky \frac{dy}{dt} = -ky

T(t) -Ta = (To -Ta) e^{-kt} T(t) = Ta+ (To -Ta)  e^{-kt}

put her value for time 30 min and T(t) = 200◦F and To =350◦F  and Ta = 70◦F

so here

200 = 70 + ( 350 - 70 ) e^{-k30}

k = 0.025575

so here for  T(t) = 100F

100 = 70 + ( 350 - 70 ) e^{-0.025575*t}

time = 87.33 min

so here 350 F to 100 F it take approx 87.33 min
