Answer:

Corpuscular theory of light

Explanation:

In optics, the corpuscular theory of light, arguably set forward by Descartes in 1637, states that light is made up of small discrete particles called "corpuscles" which travel in a straight line with a finite velocity and possess impetus. This was based on an alternate description of atomism of the time period.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Distance of lake a is 200 km at 20 degree north of east

distance between lake a and b is 230 km at 30 degree west of north

now the distance between base and lake b is given as

$d = d_1 + d_2$

given that

$d_1 = 200 cos20 i + 200 sin20 j$

$d_1 = 187.94 i + 68.4 j$

$d_2 = -230 sin30 i + 230 cos30 j$

$d_2 = -115 i + 199.2 j$

now the total distance is

$d = (187.94 - 115)i + (199.2 + 68.4)j$

$d = 72.94 i + 267.6 j$

now the magnitude of the distance is given as

$d = \sqrt{72.94^2 + 267.6^2}$

$d = 277.4$

also the direction is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{267.6}{72.94}$

$\theta = 74.7 degree$

<em>so it is 277.4 km at 74.7 degree North of East</em>

A 150-N box is being pulled horizontally in a wagon accelerating uniformly at 3.00 m/s2. The box does not move relative to the w

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Frictional force, F = 45.9 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the box, W = 150 N

Acceleration, $a=3\ m/s^2$

The coefficient of static friction between the box and the wagon's surface is 0.6 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4.

It is mentioned that the box does not move relative to the wagon. The force of friction is equal to the applied force. Let a is the acceleration. So,

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}$

$m=\dfrac{150}{9.8}$

$m=15.3\ kg$

Frictional force is given by :

$F=ma$

$F=15.3\times 3$

F = 45.9 N

So, the friction force on this box is closest to 45.9 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

The main cause of weather is?

allsm [11]

Answer: Weather on Earth is caused by heat from the sun and movement of the air. All weather happens in the lower layer of Earth's atmosphere, which is a layer of gases surrounding Earth. The sun's heat warms the air in this layer to different temperature levels in different places. ... This movement of air is what we call wind.
