Answer:

8717 meters.

Explanation:

We need to know the conversion factors. We know that:

1 mile = 1609.34 meters

1 yard = 0.9144 meters

This means that:

\frac{1609.34 meters}{1 mile}=1

\frac{0.9144 meters}{1 yard}=1

It is convenient to leave the units we want at the end in the numerator so the ones in the denominator cancel out with the ones we want to remove, as will be seen in the next step.

We will convert first the miles, then the yards, and add them up.

5miles=5miles\frac{1609.34 meters}{1 mile}=8046.7meters

733yards=733yards\frac{0.9144 meters}{1 yard}=670.2552meters

So total distance is the sum of these,  8717 meters.

Show that the energy of a magnetic dipole m in a magnetic field B is U--m B
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

showm

Explanation:

Consider a dipole having magnetic moment 'm' is placed in magnetic field \vec{B} then the torque exerted by the field on the dipole is

\tau = m\times B

\tau=mBsin\alpha

Now to rotate the dipole in the field to its final position the work required to be done is

U=\int \tau d\alpha

U=\int mBsin\alpha d\alpha

U= -mBcos\alpha

U=-\vec{m\times \vec{B}}

Minimum energy mB is for the case when m is anti parallel to B.

Minimum energy -mB is for the case when m is parallel to B.

What is folk remedies
mario62 [17]

A "folk" remedy is something you choose to eat, take, or do,
in order to correct some health issue, because your friend,
your grandmother, your religion, your shaman, your astrologer,
or your medicine man says that it's the right thing to do. 

It may or may not be effective, and it may or may not even be
safe.  What distinguishes it from mainstream medicine is that
its practices are based on hearsay, and have not been subjected
to scientific methods of investigation and evaluation.

Contact [7]

Answer:

d = 3.5*10^4 m

Explanation:

In order to calculate the displacement of the airplane you need only the information about the initial position and final position of the airplane. THe initial position is at the origin (0,0,0) and the final position is given by the following vector:

\vec{r}=(1.21*10^3\hat{i}+3.45*10^4\hat{j})m

The displacement of the airplane is obtained by using the general form of the Pythagoras theorem:

d=\sqrt{(x-x_o)^2+(y-y_o)^2}   (1)

where x any are the coordinates of the final position of the airplane and xo and yo the coordinates of the initial position. You replace the values of all variables in the equation (1):

d=\sqrt{(1.12*10^3-0)^2+(3.45*10^4-0)^2}=3.45*10^4m

hence, the displacement of the airplane is 3.45*10^4 m
