Answer:

Depending on the relative position of the Earth the Sun and Neptune in the Earths orbit the distances are;

The closest (minimum) distance of Neptune from the Earth is 29 AU

The farthest (maximum) distance of Neptune fro the Earth is 31 AU

Explanation:

The following parameters are given;

The distance from the Earth to the Sun = 1 AU

The distance of Neptune from the Earth = 30 AU

We have;

When the Sun is between the Earth and Neptune, the distance is found by the relation;

Distance from the Earth to Neptune = 30 + 1 = 31 AU

When the Earth is between the Sun and Neptune, the distance is found by the relation;

Distance from the Earth to Neptune = 30 - 1 = 29 AU

Therefore, the closest distance from Neptune to the Earth in the Earth's Orbit is 29 AU

The farthest distance from Neptune to the Earth in the Earth's orbit is 31 AU.

Two guitarists attempt to play the same note of wavelength 6.48 cmcm at the same time, but one of the instruments is slightly ou

k0ka [10]

The answer is λ₂ = 6.48 cm or 6.52 cm.

The out-of-tune guitar may have a wavelength between "6.48 cm" and "6.52 cm."

fb = |f2 − f1|

f₁ = 343/0.064

= 5276Hz

f₂ = 5276.9 Hz ± 17 Hz

f₂ = 5293.9 Hz or 5259.9 Hz

Now, calculating the possible wavelengths:

λ = 343/ 5259.9 or 343/ 5293.9

λ₂ = 6.48 cm or 6.52 cm

<h3>Why is beat frequency important?</h3>

When two waves with almost identical frequencies traveling in the same direction collide at a certain location, beats are produced. The opposing beneficial and harmful disruption causes the sound to alternatively be loud and weak whenever two sound waves with different frequencies reach your ear. This is referred to as beating.

The entire value of the frequency difference between the two waves is the beat frequency.

The following formula yields the beat frequency:

fb = |f2 − f1|

An electric field from a charge has a magnitude of 1.5 × 104 N/C at a certain location that points inward. If another charge wit

zysi [14]

Answer:

-0.045 N, they will attract each other

Explanation:

The strength of the electrostatic force exerted on a charge is given by

$F=qE$

where

q is the magnitude of the charge

E is the electric field magnitude

In this problem,

$q=3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C$

$E=-1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C$ (negative because inward)

So the strength of the electrostatic force is

$F=(-3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C)(1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C)=-0.045 N$

Moreover, the charge will be attracted towards the source of the electric field. In fact, the text says that the electric field points inward: this means that the source charge is negative, so the other charge (which is positive) is attracted towards it.

Can anyone solve these for my by using unit vectors? Can you also please show your work

4. The Coyote has an initial position vector of $\vec r_0=(15.5\,\mathrm m)\,\vec\jmath$ .

4a. The Coyote has an initial velocity vector of $\vec v_0=\left(3.5\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\,\vec\imath$ . His position at time $t$ is given by the vector

$\vec r=\vec r_0+\vec v_0t+\dfrac12\vec at^2$

where $\vec a$ is the Coyote's acceleration vector at time $t$ . He experiences acceleration only in the downward direction because of gravity, and in particular $\vec a=-g\,\vec\jmath$ where $g=9.80\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ . Splitting up the position vector into components, we have $\vec r=r_x\,\vec\imath+r_y\,\vec\jmath$ with

$r_x=\left(3.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)t$

$r_y=15.5\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2$

The Coyote hits the ground when $r_y=0$ :

$15.5\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=1.8\,\mathrm s$

4b. Here we evaluate $r_x$ at the time found in (4a).

$r_x=\left(3.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(1.8\,\mathrm s)=6.3\,\mathrm m$

5. The shell has initial position vector $\vec r_0=(1.52\,\mathrm m)\,\vec\jmath$ , and we're told that after some time the bullet (now separated from the shell) has a position of $\vec r=(3500\,\mathrm m)\,\vec\imath$ .
