The latitude of any location on earth is the angle formed by the two rays drawn from the center of earth to the location and to

the equator. the ray through the location is the initial ray. use 3960 miles as the radius of the earth. suppose city a is due north of city
b. find the distance between city a​ (north latitude 45 degrees 28 prime upper n45°28′ n​) and city b​ (latitude 38 degrees 52 prime upper n38°52′ n​).

The distance between city a and city b is 833.345 miles.

We know that

1°=60'

The distance of city a from the initial ray is  calculated as

x_a=3960*tan45.46°=4024.101 miles

The distance of city b from the initial ray is calculated as

x_b=3960*tan 38.86°=3190.75 miles

Now the distance between city a and b is equal to

4024.101-3190.75=833.345 miles

This is the vertical distance between the cities.

A meter stick is free to rotate about an axis through one of its end. Find the force F needed to balance this meter stick if the
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

Component of force perpendicular to stick

= F Sin 60°

=√3 / 2 F.

Taking torque about the other end

= √3 / 2 F x 1 Nm

Weight of stick = 60 gm

= 60 x 10⁻³ kg

= 60 x 10⁻³ x 9.8 N

= .588 N

This weight will act from the middle point of stick so torque about the

other end

= .588 x 1 Nm

Balancing these two torques we have

.588 = √3 /2 F

F=\frac{2\times0.588}{\sqrt{3} }

F = 0.679 N

A double-slit experiment uses light of wavelength 650 nm with a slit separation of 0.100 mm and a screen placed 4.0 m away. a) W
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Slit separation d = .1 x 10⁻³ m

Screen distance D = 4 m

wave length of light  λ = 650 x 10⁻⁹ m

Width of central fringe = λ D / d

= \frac{650\times10^{-9}\times4}{.1\times10^{-3}}

= 26 mm

b ) Distance between 1 st and 2 nd bright fringe will be equal to width of dark fringe which will also be equal to 26 mm

c ) Angular separation between the central maximum and 1 st order maximum will be equal to angular width of fringe which is equal to

λ  / d

= \frac{650\times10^{-9}}{.1\times10^{-3}}

= 6.5 x 10⁻³ radian.

In which one of the following situations does a car have a WESTWARD acceleration? The car travels westward and slows down. The c
DENIUS [597]

Explanation:

Let east direction is negative and west direction is positive. The acceleration of an object is given by :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

Where

v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

t is the time taken

As the car decelerates, the final speed of the car is less as compared to the initial speed. As a result, its acceleration is negative. It means the car travels eastward and slows down. Hence, this is the required solution.
