It can be noted that the directions west and north are perpendicular to each other. hence we can use the right angle formula for calculating total distance in these directions. Also South is just negative north. This technique is called euclidean distance norm. It is the basis of Cartesian coordinate system.

Total distance = 3.22 N + 4.75 W +1.90  S

= 1.32 N + 4.75 W

D = \sqrt{N^2 + W^2}

D = 4.93 Km

direction = atan(N/W) = 15.53 deg north of west

We often use a spoon to cool coffee by stirring. Some of the heat is conducted from the coffee to the air by this method, but th
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

heat lost by coffee = heat gain by aluminum spoon

heat lost by coffee = mc ( 85° C - T)

175 ml of water = 175 grams

175 grams = (175 / 1000) kg = 0.175 kg

heat loss by coffee = 0.175 × 4182 J/Kgk ( 85 - T) = 731.85 ( 85-T) = 62207.25 - 731.85 T

heat gain by aluminum spoon = 0.012kg × 897 J/kgK ( T - 22) = 10.764 T - 236.808

10.764 T - 236.808 = 62207.25 - 731.85 T

10.764 T + 731.85 T = 62207.25 + 236.808

T = 84.086 ° C approx 84°C

A neurogenic bladder is a urinary problem caused by interference with the normal __________ associated with urination.
Elena L [17]

Answer:

nerve pathways

Explanation:

It is called Neurogenic Bladder (VN) to any alteration of bladder behavior due to a pathology of the central and / or peripheral nervous system. It may consist of the loss of storage and / or urine disposal capabilities. Thus, a lesion in the upper centers causes variation in storage capacity, but if peripheral innervation is affected, loss of emptying capacity occurs. In the case of patients with spinal cord injury (ML) there are changes in both at the same time.

If a quasar is moving away from us at v/c = 0.8, what is the measured redshift?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The measured redshift is z =2

Explanation:

Since the object is traveling near light speed, since v/c = 0.8, then we have to use a redshift formula for relativistic speeds.

z= \sqrt{\cfrac{c+v}{c-v}}-1

Finding the redshift.

We can prepare the formula by dividing by lightspeed inside the square root to both numerator and denominator to get

z= \sqrt{\cfrac{1+\cfrac vc}{1-\cfrac vc}}-1

Replacing the given information

z= \sqrt{\cfrac{1+0.8}{1-0.8}}-1

z= \sqrt{\cfrac{1.8}{0.2}}-1\\z= \sqrt{9}}-1\\z=3-1\\z=2

Thus the measured redshift is z = 2.
