38*10=380 N
To be more exact, 38 should be multiplied by 9.8 instead of 10.

What is the difference between a bar magnet and an electromagnet? (check all that are

lukranit [14]

Answer:

D and A

Explanation:

Hint The basic difference between them is that a bar magnet is a permanent magnet whereas an electromagnet is a temporary magnet. An electromagnet is formed when an electric current is passed through wires wound around soft metalcore. An electromagnet loses its magnetism once the current flow is stopped.

A stationary boat in the ocean is experiencing waves from a storm. The waves move at 59 km/h and have a wavelength of 145 m . Th

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The time elapses until the boat is first at the trough of a wave is 4.46 seconds.

Explanation:

Speed of the wave, v = 59 km/h = 16.38 m/s

Wavelength of the wave, $\lambda=145\ m$

If f is the frequency of the wave. The frequency of a wave is given by :

$v=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{16.38\ m/s}{145\ m}\\\\f=0.112\ Hz$

The time period of the wave is given by :

$T=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\T=\dfrac{1}{0.112\ Hz}\\\\T=8.92\ s$

We need to find the time elapses until the boat is first at the trough of a wave. So, the time will be half of the time period of the wave.

$T=\dfrac{8.92}{2}\\\\T=4.46\ s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

if vector u has lenght 70 and direction 40 degrees, and vector v has length 85 and direction 335 degrees what is the length and

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Magnitude of resultant = 131.15

Direction of resultant = 3.97°

Explanation:

||u|| = 70

θ = 40°

$\vec{u}_x=||u||cos\theta \\\Rightarrow \vec{u}_x=70cos40=53.62$

$\vec{u}_y=||u||sin\theta \\\Rightarrow \vec{u}_y=70sin40=44.99$

||v|| = 85

θ = 335°

$\vec{v}_x=||v||cos\theta \\\Rightarrow \vec{v}_x=85cos335=77.03$

$\vec{v}_y=||v||sin\theta \\\Rightarrow \vec{v}_y=85sin335=-35.92$

Resultant

$R=\sqrt{R_x^2+R_y^2}\\\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{(\vec{u}_x+\vec{v}_x)^2+(\vec{u}_y+\vec{v}_y)^2}\\\Rightarrow R =\sqrt{(70cos40+85cos335)^2+(70sin40+85sin335)^2}\\\Rightarrow R =131.15$

$\theta=tan^{-1}\frac{R_y}{R_x}\\\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}\frac{70sin40+85sin335}{70cos40+85cos335}\\\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}0.069=3.97^{\circ}$

Magnitude of resultant = 131.15

Direction of resultant = 3.97°

Suppose that a star has a spectrum that includes red, blue, and violet lines spaced in the pattern of the lines from hydrogen bu

ladessa [460]

Answer:

It can be concluded that the star is moving away from the observer.

Explanation:

Spectral lines will be shifted to the blue part of the spectrum if the source of the observed light is moving toward the observer, or to the red part of the spectrum when is moving away from the observer (that is known as the Doppler effect).

The wavelength at rest for this case is 434 nm and 410 nm ( $\lambda_{0} = 434nm$ , $\lambda_{0} = 410nm$ )

$Redshift: \lambda_{measured} > \lambda_{0}$

$Blueshift: \lambda_{measured} < \lambda_{0}$

Since, $\lambda_{measured}$ (444nm) is greater than $\lambda_{0}$ (434 nm) and $\lambda_{measured}$ (420nm) is greater than $\lambda_{0}$ (410 nm), it can be concluded that the star is moving away from the observer
