An object is tracked by a radar station and found to have a position vector given by r = (4570-160 t) i + 2930j + 130k , with r

in meters and t in seconds. The radar station's x axis points east, its y axis north, and its z axis vertically up. If the object is a 300 kg meteorological missile, what are (a) its linear momentum (in unit vector notation) and (b) the magnitude of the net force on it?

Answer:

a)P= -4800 i

b)F= 0

Explanation:

Given that

r = (4570-160 t) i + 2930 j + 130 k

We know that velocity is rate of change of the space vector.

V= dr/dt

r = (4570-160 t) i + 2930 j + 130 k

dr/dt= -160 i + 0 + 0

dr/dt= -160 i

V= -160 i

It means that velocity is in only x-direction

We also know that acceleration is the rate of change of velocity .

a= dV/dt

V= -160 i

dV/dt=0

So we can say that acceleration is zero.

 a= 0

From Second law of Newton'

Force =  Mass x acceleration

F= 300 x 0

F= 0

We know that linear momentum P

P = m V

Given that m= 300 kg

P = 300 x (-160 i)

P= -4800 i

Explain Archimedes Principle
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics. It was formulated by Archimedes of Syracuse.

Monochromatic light falls on two very narrow slits 0.048 mm apart. successive fringes on a screen 5.00 m away are 6.5 cm apart n
atroni [7]
In a double-slit interference experiment, the distance y of the maximum of order m from the center of the observed interference pattern on the screen is
y= \frac{m \lambda D}{d}
where D=5.00 m is the distance of the screen from the slits, and 
d=0.048 mm=0.048 \cdot 10^{-3}m is the distance between the two slits.
The fringes on the screen are 6.5 cm=0.065 m apart from each other, this means that the first maximum (m=1) is located at y=0.065 m from the center of the pattern.
Therefore, from the previous formula we can find the wavelength of the light:
\lambda =  \frac{yd}{mD}= \frac{(0.065 m)(0.048 \cdot 10^{-3}m)}{(1)(5.00 m)}=  6.24 \cdot 10^{-7}m

And from the relationship between frequency and wavelength, c=\lambda f, we can find the frequency of the light:
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{6.24 \cdot 10^{-7}m}=4.81 \cdot 10^{14}Hz

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS :) What does it mean when white light is diffracted and at a particular location the color seen is bl
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

This is because white light consists of 7 colours with different angles o deviation or retraction.

Explanation:

When a narrow beam of light is refracted by a prism the light spreads into a band of colours (called the spectrum of light )

But in this case if a blue colour is observed it is due to the angle of refraction ,for instance red is refracted the least and hence is seen
