When a wave enters a medium at an angle, leading to a change in the wave, this is an example of what phenomenon?

11. A vector M is 15.0 cm long and makes an angle of 20° CCW from x axis and another vector N is 8.0 cm long and makes an angle

Alja [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of the resultant vector is 22.66 cm and it has a direction of 29.33°

Explanation:

To find the resultant vector, you first calculate x and y components of the two vectors M and N. The components of the vectors are calculated by using cos and sin function.

For M vector you obtain:

$M=M_x\hat{i}+M_y\hat{j}\\\\M=15.0cm\ cos(20\°)\hat{i}+15.0cm\ sin(20\°)\hat{j}\\\\M=14.09cm\ \hat{i}+5.13\ \hat{j}$

For N vector:

$N=N_x\hat{i}+N_y\hat{j}\\\\N=8.0cm\ cos(40\°)\hat{i}+8.0cm\ sin(40\°)\hat{j}\\\\N=6.12cm\ \hat{i}+5.142\ \hat{j}$

The resultant vector is the sum of the components of M and N:

$F=(M_x+N_x)\hat{i}+(M_y+N_y)\hat{j}\\\\F=(14.09+6.12)cm\ \hat{i}+(5.13+5.142)cm\ \hat{j}\\\\F=20.21cm\ \hat{i}+10.27cm\ \hat{j}$

The magnitude of the resultant vector is:

$|F|=\sqrt{(20.21)^2+(10.27)^2}cm=22.66cm$

And the direction of the vector is:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{10.27}{20.21})=29.93\°$

hence, the magnitude of the resultant vector is 22.66 cm and it has a direction of 29.33°

The water-ice particles forming Saturn's rings are frozen together into a thin sheet that rotates around Saturn like a solid bod

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

B. False

Explanation:

According to research by several scientists, Saturn's rings aren't solid, as they appear from Earth. They are actually made up of floating chunks of water ice, rocks and dust that range in diferent sizes from specks to enormous, even house-sized pieces that orbit Saturn in a ring pattern.

A gasoline tank has the shape of an inverted right circular cone with base radius 4 meters and height 5 meters. Gasoline is bein

RSB [31]

Answer:

h'=0.25m/s

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we need to start by drawing a diagram of the given situation. (See attached image).

So, the problem talks about an inverted circular cone with a given height and radius. The problem also tells us that water is being pumped into the tank at a rate of $8m^{3}/s$ . As you may see, the problem is talking about a rate of volume over time. So we need to relate the volume, with the height of the cone with its radius. This relation is found on the volume of a cone formula:

$V_{cone}=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h$

notie the volume formula has two unknowns or variables, so we need to relate the radius with the height with an equation we can use to rewrite our volume formula in terms of either the radius or the height. Since in this case the problem wants us to find the rate of change over time of the height of the gasoline tank, we will need to rewrite our formula in terms of the height h.

If we take a look at a cross section of the cone, we can see that we can use similar triangles to find the equation we are looking for. When using similar triangles we get:

$\frac {r}{h}=\frac{4}{5}$
