A spaceship is traveling through deep space towards a space station and needs to make a course correction to go around a nebula.

The captain orders the ship to travel 1.7 ✕ 106 kilometers, then turn 70° and travel an additional 2.7 ✕ 106 kilometers to reach the space station. If the captain had not ordered a course correction, what would have been the magnitude and direction of the path of the spaceship if it has traveled through the nebula?

Answer:

Magnitude = 3.64 × 10^6  

စ = 43.9°

Explanation:

given data

ship to travel = 1.7 × 10^6    kilometers

turn = 70°

travel an additional = 2.7 × 10^6   kilometers

solution

we will consider here

Px = 1.7 × 10^6  

Py = 0

Qx =2.7 × 10^6  cos(70)

Qy= 2.7 × 10^6  sin(70)

so that

Hx = Px + Qx    ............1

Hx = 2.62 × 10^6  

and

Hy = Py + Qy      ..........2

Hy = 2.53 × 10^6  

so Magnitude = \sqrt{((2.62 \times 10^6  )^2+(2.53 \times 10^6)^2)}

Magnitude = 3.64 ×  

so direction  will be

tan စ = Hy ÷ Hx    ......................3

tan စ  = \frac{2.53}{2.62}

tan စ  = 0.9656

စ = 43.9°

When comparing two circuits, you note that circuit one has twice the resistance and double the voltage of circuit two. This mean
pochemuha

This means that there is same current flow in both the circuit, or the circuit one has twice the power of circuit two.

According to ohm's law, the resistance is given as

I=V/R

Since the circuit one has twice the voltage, and resistance

I1=I2

The earth has about 80 times the mass of the earth's moon. The gravitational force exerted on the moon by the earth has what rel
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Both forces are the same.

Explanation:

The problem states that:

m_e = 80*m_m

The force exerted on the moon by earth is given by:

F_m=\frac{K*m_e*m_m}{d^2}   where K is the gravitational constant, and d is the separation distance between the earth and the moon.

The force exerted on the earth by moon is given by:

F_e=\frac{K*m_m*m_e}{d^2}   where K is the gravitational constant, and d is the separation distance between the earth and the moon.

The relation is therefore:

F_m/F_e = \frac{K*m_e*m_m/d^2}{K*m_m*m_e/d^2}=1

As you can see, they are the same.

Rays of light strike a bumpy road and are reflected.
nekit [7.7K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Each will reflect at an angle equal to its angle of incidence.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>When light hits a surface or a boundary it bounces of the surface a phenomenon called reflection, which is a property of waves. Reflection occurs such that the incidence angle is equal to the angle of reflection.</u></em>
  • Reflection of light depends on whether the surface is smooth or rough. When the light hits a smooth surface it bounces off the surface and all the rays of light moves in the same direction, this type of reflection is called specular reflection.
  • On the other hand , when right rays hits a rough surface the rays bounces off the surface and the rays move in different directions, a type of reflection called diffuse reflection.
