Two ranger stations are on an east-west line 110 mi apart. A forest fire is located on a bearing of N 42º E from the western sta

tion at A and a bearing of N 15ºE from the eastern station at B. How far is the fire from the western station to the nearest mile?

Answer:

Explanation:

AB = 110 miles

Let the distance of the western station from fire is d.

As according to the diagram, use Sine law

\frac{d}{Sin 15}=\frac{110}{Sin 133}

d = 110 x 0.2588 / 0.73

d = 39 miles

Which of these statements is most likely correct about the Nebular theory of formation of planets?
exis [7]
Correct answer is D.

Explanation:
A) is not correct answer because this type of theory can not become law. Laws are properties that are same in any part of universe. Nebular theory is not correct for every part of universe.

B) is not correct answer because this theory could be replaced if some evidence show that some other theory is more likely to be correct.

C) is not correct answer because the study has been done on other nebulas in our galaxy. There are many nebulas and by obserwing them this theory was developed.

Frictional force is____of area of contact​
Elis [28]

Answer:

The force due to friction is generally independent of the contact area between the two surfaces. This means that even if you have two heavy objects of the same mass, where one is half as long and twice as high as the other one, they still experience the same frictional force when you drag them over the ground.

Explanation:

Independent

A hydrogen discharge lamp emits light with two prominent wavelengths: 656 nm (red) and 486 nm (blue). The light enters a flint-g
mezya [45]

Answer:

The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of red = 656 nm

Wavelength of blue = 486 nm

Angle = 37°

Suppose we need to find the angle between the red and blue light as it leaves the prism

n_{r}=1.572

n_{b}=1.587

We need to calculate the angle for red wavelength

Using Snell's law,

n_{r}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{r}

Put the value into the formula

1.572\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{r}

\theta_{r}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.572\sin37}{1})

\theta_{r}=71.0^{\circ}

We need to calculate the angle for blue wavelength

Using Snell's law,

n_{b}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{b}

Put the value into the formula

1.587\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{b}

\theta_{b}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.587\sin37}{1})

\theta_{b}=72.7^{\circ}

We need to calculate the angle between the red and blue light

Using formula of angle

\Delta \theta=\theta_{b}-\theta_{r}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta \theta=72.7-71.0

\Delta \theta=1.7^{\circ}

Hence, The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.
