Answer:

William Ferrel created a tide-prediction machine.

Explanation:

William Ferrel create a machine in late 19th century that was the best combination of mechanical parts and computer coding.
It was a mechanical analog computer that could predict the ebb of tides and even the height of tides that could be irregular.
It was widely used for marine networks and navigation. Later on many improvisations and additional features were added on it.
During the world war times, this tide prediction machine was of great use for military purpose.

A golf ball is struck with a five iron on level ground. it lands 100.0 m away 4.60 s later. what was the magnitude and direction

finlep [7]

consider the motion in x-direction

$v_{ox}$ = initial velocity in x-direction = ?

X = horizontal distance traveled = 100 m

$a_{x}$ = acceleration along x-direction = 0 m/s²

t = time of travel = 4.60 sec

Using the equation

X = $v_{ox}$ t + (0.5) $a_{x}$ t²

100 = $v_{ox}$ (4.60)

$v_{ox}$ = 21.7 m/s

consider the motion along y-direction

$v_{oy}$ = initial velocity in y-direction = ?

Y = vertical displacement = 0 m

$a_{y}$ = acceleration along x-direction = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel = 4.60 sec

Using the equation

Y = $v_{oy}$ t + (0.5) $a_{y}$ t²

0 = $v_{oy}$ (4.60) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (4.60)²

$v_{oy}$ = 22.54 m/s

initial velocity is given as

$v_{o}$ = sqrt(( $v_{ox}$ )² + ( $v_{oy}$ )²)

$v_{o}$ = sqrt((21.7)² + (22.54)²) = 31.3 m/s

direction: θ = tan⁻¹(22.54/21.7) = 46.12 deg

This term means that we are interacting with an item at a high-level, with lower-level internal details hidden from the user.

Option d) abstraction is the correct answer.

Abstraction is the process of taking away or removing characteristics from something in order to reduce it to a set of essential characteristics. In object-oriented programming, abstraction is one of three central principles Through this process, a programmer hides all but the relevant data about an object in order to reduce complexity and increase efficiency.

The electromagnetic wave that delivers a cellular phone callto

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

$E=2.41\cdot 10^{-5} J$

Explanation:

The intensity of an electromagnetic wave can be expressed in terms of the magnetic field using the next relationship:

$I_{average}=\frac{cB_{0}^{2}}{2\mu_{0}}$ (1)

c is the speed of light (3*10⁸ m/s)
μ₀ is the permeability of free space (in vacuum ) (1.26*10⁻⁶ N/A²)
B₀ is the magnetic field

$I_{average}=\frac{3\cdot 10^{8}(1.5\cdot 10^{-10})^{2}}{2\cdot 1.26\cdot 10^{-6}}$

$I_{average}=2.68\cdot 10^{-6} W/m^{2}$

Now, let's define the relationship between power (P) and average intensity (I).

$I_{average}=\frac{P}{A}$

P is the power
A is the area crossed

So we can calculate the power.

$P=I_{average}\cdot A=2.68\cdot 10^{-6}\cdot 0.20=5.37\cdot 10^{-7} W$

Finally, energy is the product of P times time, so:

$E=P\cdot t=5.37\cdot 10^{-7} \cdot 45=2.41\cdot 10^{-5} J$

I hope it helps you!

A light source emits light with dominant wavelengths in the range of 650 to 690 nm. what is the principle color of light emitted

dsp73

Answer:

Please see below as the answer is self-explanatory.

Explanation:

The visible range extends roughly from 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red).
Below the violet is the ultra-violet spectrum (with higher energy) and above red, we have the infra-red spectrum.
The wavelengths in the range of 650 to 690 nm have red as the dominant color.
