A radar antenna is tracking a satellite orbiting the earth. At a certain time, the radar screen shows the satellite to be 118 km

away. The radar antenna is pointing upward at an angle of 58.9° above the ground. Find (a) the x and (b) the y components (in km) of the position vector of the satellite, relative to the antenna.

Answer:

x component 60.85 m

y component 101.031 m

Explanation:

We have given distance r = 118 km

Angle which makes from ground = 58.9°

(a) X component of distance  is given by r_x=rcos\Theta =118\times cos58.9=118\times 0.5165=118=60.85m

(b) Y component of distance is given by r_Y=rcos\Theta =118\times sin58.9=118\times 0.8562=101.0316m

These are the x and y component of position vector

I shared a picture of the problem. It’s a basic Physics question and an Algebra question.
julia-pushkina [17]

Hence the expression of ω in terms of m and k is

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}

Given the expressions;

T_s = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \ and \ T_s = \frac{2 \pi}{\omega}

Equating both expressions we will have;

2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }  = \frac{2 \pi}{\omega}

Divide both equations by 2π

\frac{2 \pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{2 \pi} } }{2 \pi}=\frac{\frac{2 \pi}{\omega} }{2\pi}\\\sqrt{\frac{m}{2 \pi} } = \frac{1}{\omega}\\

Square both sides

(\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } )^2 = (\frac{1}{\omega} )^2\\\frac{m}{k} = \frac{1}{\omega ^2} \\\omega ^2 = \frac{k}{m}

Take the square root of both sides

\sqrt{\omega ^2} =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}

Hence the expression of ω in terms of m and k is

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}

Find the de broglie wavelength of an electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom.
HACTEHA [7]

de Broglie wavelength (λ) is given by the equation

λ = h/p

where h=Planck’s constant whose value is 6.62 x 10^(−34) joule-seconds and

p = momentum of the particle(here electron)

In terms of kinetic energy(E) momentum(p) can be written as,

p=(2mE)^1/2

where m=mass of the particle.

Hence λ becomes

1 λ = h(2mE)^-1/2

Given here, E = 13.6 eV = 13.6×1.6×10^-19 joule

m(mass of electron)= 9.1×10^-31 kg

Putting these values in equation (1) we get ,

λ =0.332×10^(-9) meter

=3.32×10^(-10) meter

=3.32 Å
