Two alternate exterior angles are formed by a transversal through two parallel lines. If one of these alternate exterior angles

has an angle measure of 5x-21 , and the other angle has a measure of 2x+12 , then what is the sum of their angle measures?

Answer:

SUM = 114+66= 180

Explanation:

The sum of the two exterior angles is 180° because the two exterior angles are lying on a straight line and straight line is 180°.

So,

(5x-21)+(2x+12) = 180°

5x-21+2x+12 = 180

5x+ 2x -21 +12 = 180

7x - 9 = 180

7x = 189

x = 189/7 = 27

So

5x-21 = (5*27) - 21 = 135 - 21 = 114

2x+12 = 2 * 27 + 12 = 54+12 = 66

SUM = 114+66= 180

An electron is released from rest in a weak electric field given by E =-2.30 x 10-10 N/Cj. After the electron has traveled a ver

Goshia [24]

Explanation:

It is given that,

An electron is released from rest in a weak electric field of, $E=2.3\times 10^{-10}\ N/C$

Vertical distance covered, $s=1\ \mu m=10^{-6}\ m$

We need to find the speed of the electron. Let its speed is v. Using third equation of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$v^2=2as$ .............(1)

Electric force is $F_e$ and force of gravity is $F_g$ . As both forces are acting in downward direction. So, total force is:

$F=mg+qE$

$F=9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 9.8+1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 2.3\times 10^{-10}$

$F=4.57\times 10^{-29}\ N$

Acceleration of the electron, $a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{4.57\times 10^{-29}\ N}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg}$

$a=50.21\ m/s^2$

Put the value of a in equation (1) as :

$v=\sqrt{2as}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 50.21\times 10^{-6}}$

v = 0.010 m/s

So, the speed of the electron is 0.010 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

Final velocity, V = 11.5m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, U = 2.5m/s

Acceleration, a = 1.5m/s²

Time, t = 6secs

To find the final velocity, we would use the first equation of motion

V = U + at

Substituting into the equation, we have

V = 2.5 + 1.5*6

V = 2.5 + 9

Final velocity, V = 11.5m/s

488.08706 nm

$6.14644\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

231715700.28346 m/s

Explanation:

n denotes refractive index

1 denotes air

2 denotes solution

$\lambda_0$ = 632.8 nm

From Snell's law we have the relation

$n_1sin\theta_1=n_2sin\theta_2\\\Rightarrow n_2=\dfrac{n_1sin\theta_1}{sin\theta_2}\\\Rightarrow n_2=\dfrac{1\times sin33}{sin24.84}\\\Rightarrow n_2=1.29649$

Refractive index of the solution is 1.29649

Wavelength is given by

$\lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_0}{n_2}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{632.8}{1.29649}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=488.08706\ nm$

The wavelength of the solution is 488.08706 nm

Frequency is given by

$f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{488.08706\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow f=6.14644\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

The frequency is $6.14644\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

$v=\dfrac{c}{n_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{1.29469}\\\Rightarrow v=231715700.28346\ m/s$

The speed in the solution is 231715700.28346 m/s

The fraction of the total radiation that is reflected by any surface is called its _____.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer: D. Albedo

Explanation:

The proportion of total light incident on surface that is reflected back is called its albedo. These are typical features of an astronomical body. It is a dimension less quantity and its value ranges from 0 to 1. Light surfaces reflect larger amount of light than dark surfaces. This feature can be clearly seen on planet Mars and the Moon.

Thus, the fraction of the total radiation that is reflected by any surface is called its <u>Albedo.</u>
