When we form a right triangle connecting the edge of the knife to the center of the circle and the center of the knife to the center of the circle, the radius of the circle becomes the hypotenuse. Using the trigonometric function,
                                     sin 60° = opposite / hypotenuse = 4 / hypotenuse
The value of the hypotenuse is 4.62 inches. Then, the diameter is twice this value which is 9.24 inches.

Suppose that a sound source is emitting waves uniformly in all directions. If you move to a point twice as far away from the sou
Helen [10]

Answer:

<em>d. unchanged.</em>

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is dependent on the speed of the wave and the wavelength of the wave. The frequency is characteristic for a wave, and does not change with distance. This is unlike the amplitude which determines the intensity, which decreases with distance.

In a wave, the velocity of propagation of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency. The speed of sound does not change with distance, except when entering from one medium to another, and we can see from

v = fλ

that the frequency is tied to the wave, and does not change throughout the waveform.

where v is the speed of the sound wave

f is the frequency

λ is the wavelength of the sound wave.

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

The remaining percentage of drug concentration is about 88.7% 2 years after manufacture.

Explanation:

Recall the formula for the decay of a substance at an initial N_0 concentration at manufacture:

N(t)=N_0\,e^{-k\,\,t}

where k is the decay rate (in our case 0.06/year), and t is the elapsed time in years. Therefore, after 2 years since manufacture we have:

N=N_0\,e^{-0.06\,\,(2)}\\N=N_0\,e^{-0.12}\\N/N_0=e^{-0.12}\\N/N_0=0.8869

This in percent form is 88.7 %. That is, the remaining percentage of drug concentration is about 88.7% 2 years after manufacture.

A rocket passes you at a speed of 0.85c, and you measure its length to be 35.0 m. What is its measured length when at rest?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

66.4 m

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we can use the length contraction formula, which states that the length observed in the reference frame moving with the object (the rocket) is given by

L=L_0 \sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c})^2}

where

L_0 is the proper length (the length measured from an observer at rest)

v is the speed of the object (the rocket)

c is the speed of light

Here we know

v = 0.85c

L = 35.0 m

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the length of the rocket at rest:

L_0 = \frac{L}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c})^2}}=\frac{35.0}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{0.85c}{c})^2}}=66.4 m
