Answer:

a.) magnitude __49.7__ unit(s)

b.) direction __123.6°_ counterclockwise from the +x axis

Explanation:

Let Vector is v

x-component of Vector v = x = -27.5 units (minus sign indicate that x-component is along the minus x-axis )

y-component of Vector v = y = 41.4 units

Magnitude of v = ?

Direction of v = ?

To find the magnitude of the vector

v = $\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2} }$

v = $\sqrt{-27.5^{2}+41.4^{2} }$

v = 49.7 units

To find direction

θ = tan⁻¹(y/x)

θ = tan⁻¹(41.4/-27.5)

θ = -56.4°

This Angle is in the clockwise direction with respect to -x axis.

We need to find Angle counterclockwise from the +x axis.

So,

θ = 180° - 56.4°

θ = 123.6°

The given vector is in 2nd quadrant

On a cello, the string with the largest linear density (1.44 x 10-2 kg/m) is the C string. This string produces a fundamental fr

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

$T=346.5N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Density $\rho= (1.44 * 10^{-2} kg/m)$

Frequency $F=93.0Hz$

Length $l=0.834m$

Generally the equation for Frequency is mathematically given by

$F=\frac{1}{2 l}sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho}}$

Therefore

$T=\rho(2 lF)^2$

$T= (1.44 * 10^{-2}*(2*0.834)(93.0))^2$

$T=346.5N$

Geosynchronous satellites orbit the Earth at a distance of 42 000 km from the Earth's center. Their angular speed at this height

frozen [14]

Answer:

Force will be 7.97 N

Explanation:

We have given that earth is at s distance of 42000 km from the earth center

So r = 42000 km = 42000000 m

Mass m = 1500 kg

Angular velocity of earth $\omega =7.29\times 10^{-5}rad/sec$

We have to find the force

We know that force is given by

$F=m\omega ^2r=1500\times (7.29\times 10^{-5})^2\times 42000000=797.1615\times 10^{-2}=7.97N$

mina [271]

The blue color of the sky is the result of scattering. The answer is letter B. it is specifically called the Rayleigh scattering. This blue color is the result of the incoming rays of the Sun into the earth’s atmosphere. It has he lowest wavelength which as we all see is the blue spectrum of light.

A laser emits two wavelengths (λ1 = 420 nm; λ2 = 630 nm). When these two wavelengths strike a grating with 450 lines/mm, they pr

Westkost [7]

A) Order of the first laser: 3, order of the second laser: 2

B) The overlap occurs at an angle of $34.9^{\circ}$

Explanation:

A)

The formula that gives the position of the maxima (bright fringes) for a diffraction grating is

$d sin \theta = m \lambda$

where

d is spacing between the lines in the grating

$\theta$ is the angle of the maximum

m is the order of diffraction

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light

For laser 1,

$d sin \theta = m_1 \lambda_1$

For laser 2,

$d sin \theta = m_2 \lambda_2$

where

$\lambda_1 = 420 nm\\\lambda_2 = 630 nm$

Since the position of the maxima in the two cases overlaps, then the term $d sin \theta$ on the left is the same for the two cases, therefore we can write:

$m_1 \lambda_1 = m_2 \lambda_2\\\frac{m_1}{m_2}=\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}=\frac{630}{420}=\frac{3}{2}$

Therefore:

$m_1 = 3$

$m_2 = 2$

B)

In order to find the angle at which the overlap occurs, we use the 1st laser situation:

$d sin \theta = m_1 \lambda_1$

where:

N = 450 lines/mm = 450,000 lines/m is the number of lines per unit length, so the spacing between the lines is

$d=\frac{1}{N}=\frac{1}{450,000}=2.2\cdot 10^{-6} m$

$m_1 = 3$ is the order of the maximum

$\lambda_1 = 420 nm = 420\cdot 10^{-9} m$ is the wavelength of the laser light

Solving for $\theta$ , we find the angle of the maximum:

$sin \theta = \frac{m_1 \lambda_1}{d}=\frac{(3)(420\cdot 10^{-9})}{2.2\cdot 10^{-6}}=0.572$

So the angle is

$\theta=sin^{-1}(0.572)=34.9^{\circ}$
