An 8 foot metal guy wire is attached to a broken stop sign to secure its position until repairs can be made. Attached to a stake

in the ground, the guy wire makes an angle of 51º with the ground. How far from the foot of the stop sign is the stake, to the nearest tenth of a foot?

Answer:

Explanation:

The guy wire is making a right angled triangle  with the ground and stop sign . It makes an angle of 51 degree with the ground. In this triangle stop sign is the perpendicular and distance from the base on the ground forms the base of the triangle . Wire forms the hypotenuse.

base / hypotenuse = cos51

base = hypotenuse x cos51

= 8 x cos51

= 5.03 ft .

The distance of the stake with which guy wire was attached from the foot of the stop sign is 5.03 ft .

A spherical wave with a wavelength of 2.0 mm is emitted from the origin. At one instant of time, the phase at rrr = 4.0 mm is πr
max2010maxim [7]

Complete Question

A spherical wave with a wavelength of 2.0 mm is emitted from the origin. At one instant of time, the phase at r_1 = 4.0 mm is π rad. At that instant, what is the phase at r_2 = 3.5 mm ? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

The phase at the second point is  \phi _2  = 1.57 \  rad

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The wavelength of the spherical wave is  \lambda =  2.0 \ mm =  \frac{2}{1000} = 0.002 \ m

    The first radius  is  r_1  = 4.0 \ mm  = \frac{4}{1000}  = 0.004 \ m

     The phase at that instant is  \phi _1 = \pi \ rad

     The second radius is  r_2  = 3.5 \ mm  = \frac{3.5}{1000}  = 0.0035 \ m

Generally the phase difference is mathematically represented as

          \Delta  \phi =  \phi _2 -  \phi _1

this can also be expressed as

         \Delta \phi =  \frac{2 \pi }{\lambda } (r_2 - r_1 )

So we have that

   \phi _2 -  \phi _1 =   \frac{2 \pi }{\lambda } (r_2 - r_1 )

substituting values

     \phi _2 -  \pi =   \frac{2 \pi }{0.002 } ( 0.0035 - 0.004 )

    \phi _2  =   \frac{2 \pi }{0.002 } ( 0.0035 - 0.004 ) +   3.142

   \phi _2  = 1.57 \  rad

What is the power generated by a 45 kg person who walks up a flight of 12 stairs, each 30 cm high, in 12 s?
Free_Kalibri [48]
The total distance covered by the person is 12 times the height of each stair:
\Delta h=12 \cdot 30 cm=360 cm=3.60 m

The work done by the person to climb the stairs is equal to the increase in his gravitational potential energy:
W= \Delta U=mg \Delta h=(45 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(3.60 m)=1589.2 J

And therefore, the power generated by the person in 12 s is the work done divided by the time taken:
P= \frac{W}{t}= \frac{1589.2 J}{12 s}=132.3 W

So, the correct answer is B.

In the first video for chapter 29, we looked at the emission spectrum of excited gases. In this video, we look at the __________
Elan Coil [88]

Although the video is not found here, the sentence makes reference to the transmission spectrum of colored filters.

<h3>What is the transmission spectrum?</h3>

The transmission spectrum indicates the light portion having a given wavelength that can be passed through a filter.

This spectrum (transmission spectrum) depends on the physical separation of the particles that form the filter.

In conclusion, although the video is not found here, the sentence makes reference to the transmission spectrum of colored filters.
