A sailor in a small sailboat encounters shifting winds. She sails 2.00 km east, then 3.50 km southeast, and then an additional d

istance in an unknown direction. Her final position is 5.80 km directly east of the starting point (Fig. P1.72). Find the magnitude and direction of the third leg of the journey. Draw the vectoraddition diagram and show that it is in qualitative agreement with Your numerical solution.

Answer:

Third displacement = 2.81 m which is 61.70° north of east.

Explanation:

   Let east represents positive x- axis and north represent positive y - axis. Horizontal component is i and vertical component is j.

  She sails 2 km east, displacement = 2 i

  Then 3.50 km southeast, means 3.5 km 315⁰ to + ve X axis

  Displacement = 3.5 cos 315 i + 3.5 sin 315 = 2.47 i - 2.47 j

  Let third displacement be x i + y j

  We have final displacement = 5.80 km east = 5.80 i

  From summation we have total displacement = 2 i + 2.47 i - 2.47 j + x i + y j

                                                                           = (4.47+x) i + (y - 2.47) j

  Comparing both , we have 4.47+x = 5.80

                                                        x = 1.33

                                                 y-2.47=0

                                                         y = 2.47 j

  So third displacement = 1.33 i + 2.47 j

  Magnitude of third displacement = \sqrt{1.33^2+2.47^2} =2.81m

  θ = tan⁻¹(2.47/1.33) = 61.70°

  So third displacement = 2.81 m which is 61.70° north of east.

Which statements best describe x-rays? check all that apply. x-rays are electromagnetic waves. x-rays are longitudinal waves. x-
igor_vitrenko [27]

X ray is one of the electromagnetic waves.

As per Clark Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, all the electromagnetic waves move with the velocity of light i.e c= 3×10^8 m/s

In case of electromagnetic waves,the electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other as well as perpendicular to the direction of propagation.The electromagnetic waves exhibit the property of polarisation. Hence they are transverse in nature.

Hence the best statements about X- ray will be-

1- X -rays are electromagnetic waves

2-X-rays are transverse transverse waves

3- X- rays travel at the speed of light.
