Vector ????⃗ has a magnitude of 16.6 and is at an angle of 50.5∘ counterclockwise from the +x‑axis. Vector ????⃗ has a magnitude

natka813 [3]

Answer:

For vector u, x component = 10.558 and y component =12.808

unit vector = 0.636 i+ 0.7716 j

For vector v, x component = 23.6316 and y component = -6.464

unit vector = 0.9645 i-0.2638 j

Explanation:

Let the vector u has magnitude 16.6

u makes an angle of 50.5° from x axis

So $u_x=ucos\Theta =16.6\times cos50.5=10.558$

Vertical component $u_y=usin\Theta =16.6\times sin50.5=12.808$

So vector u will be u = 10.558 i+12.808 j

Unit vector $u=\frac{10.558i+12.808j}{\sqrt{10.558^2+12.808^2}}=0.636i+0.7716j$

Now in second case let vector v has a magnitude of 24.5

Making an angle with -15.3° from x axis

So horizontal component $v_x=vcos\Theta =24.5\times cos(-15.3)=23.6316$

Vertical component $v_y=vsin\Theta =24.5\times sin(-15.3)=-6.464$

So vector v will be 23.6316 i - 6.464 j

Unit vector of v $=\frac{23.6316i-6.464}{\sqrt{23.6316^2+6.464^2}}=0.9645i-0.2638j$

Which of the following represents the greatest energy transition from a higher energy level to a lower one?

prohojiy [21]

You need to use Planck's law:
E = h·υ = (h·c)/λ

Without making all the calculations, a fraction is bigger than another when the denominator is smaller. Therefore you need to find the smallest wavelength (λ) which is 450nm.

You could also be helped by colors: in order of decreasing energy, you have blue - green - yellow - red.

In any case, the correct answer is a).

Where should an object be placed in front of a concave mirror’s principal axis to form an image that is real, inverted, larger t

Charra [1.4K]

If the object is kept in between the principle axis and the focus but some what nearer to the focus then we will get the enlarge,erect,and real image.

The three stages of a train route took 1 hour ,2 hours ,and 4 hours . The first two stages were 80km and 200km of the train aver

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

the third stage was 480 km long

Explanation:

Stage 1:

Time = 1 hours

Speed = 80km

Stage 2:

Time = 2 hours

Speed = 200km

Stage 3:

Time = 4 hours

Let the Distance at the stage 3 be x

Average speed of the train route = 100 km/h

$\frac{ \text{speed at stage 1} + \text{speed at stage 2} + \text{speed at stage 3}}{3} = 0$

$\frac{ \text{speed at stage 1} + \text{speed at stage 2} + \text{speed at stage 3}}{3} = 100$

Lets find the speed at stage 1

Speed = $\frac{Distance }{Time}$

Speed = $\frac{80}{1}$

Speed 1= 80 km/hr

The speed at stage 2

Speed = $\frac{Distance }{Time}$

Speed = $\frac{200}{2}$

Speed 2 = 100 km/hr

The speed at stage 3

Speed = $\frac{Distance }{Time}$

Speed = $\frac{x}{4}$

Speed 3 = $\frac{x}{4}$

we kow that average is ,

$\frac{ \text{speed 1} + \text{speed 2} + \text{speed 3}}{3} = 100$

$\frac{ 80 + 100+ \frac{x}{4} }{3} = 100$

$\frac{ 180 + \frac{x}{4} }{3} = 100$

$\frac{ \frac{720 +x}{4} }{3} = 100$

$\frac{720 +x}{4} \times \frac{1}{3} = 100$

$\frac{720 +x}{12} = 100$

$720 +x = 100 \times 12$

$720 +x = 1200$

$x = 1200- 720$

x = 480

A merchant in Katmandu sells you a solid gold 1.00-kg statue for a very reasonable price. When you get home, you wonder whether

White raven [17]

Answer:

a) 51.8 cm³

b) kg/m³ is a dimension of density (mass/volume). The regular unitys for volume are m³, cm³, L, gallons.

Explanation:

a) The density of pure gold is 19.3 g/cm³. When put in water, the piece of gold will occupy a volume, so that the volume of water will be displaced. To know the volume, we must divide the mass for the density (mass must be in grams because of the units of the density)

V = 1000/19.3

V = 51.8 cm³
