Answer:

a. 365; b. 3; c. 78; d. 1.343 rad; e. 12; f. 10.66

Explanation:

Assume that the function is

D(x) = 3 \sin \left (\dfrac{2\pi}{365}(x - 78) \right ) + 12

The general formula for a sinusoidal function is

      y = A sin(B(x - C))+ D

   |A| = amplitude

     B = frequency

2π/B = period, P

     C = horizontal shift (phase shift)

     D = vertical shift

By comparing the two formulas, we find

|A| = 3

 B = 2π/365

 C = 78

 D = 12

a. Period

P = 2π/B = 2π/(2π/365) = 2π × 365/2π = 365

The period is 365.

b. Amplitude

|A| = 3

The amplitude is 3.  

c. Horizontal shift

C= 78

The horizontal shift is 78.

d. Phase shift  (φ)

Ths phase shift is the horizontal shift expressed in radians.

φ = C × 2π/365 = 78 × 2π/365 ≈ 1.343

The phase shift is 1.343 rad.

e. Vertical shift

D = 12

The vertical shift is 12.

f. Hours of sunlight on Feb 21

Feb 21 is the 52nd day of the year, so x = 51 (the number of days after Jan 1),

\begin{array}{rcl}D(x) &=& 3 \sin \left (\dfrac{2\pi}{365}(x - 78) \right ) + 12\\\\&=& 3 \sin (0.01721(51 - 78) ) + 12\\&=& 3\sin(-0.4648) + 12\\&=& 3(-0.4482) + 12\\\&=& -1.345 + 12\\& = & \textbf{10.66 h}\\\end{array}

There will be 10.66 h of sunlight on Feb 21 of any given year.

The figure below shows the graph of the function from 0 ≤ x ≤ 365.

A brick is resting on a smooth wooden board that is at a 30° angle. What is one way to overcome the static friction that is hold
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

to overcome the out of friction we must increase the angle of the plane

Explanation:

To answer this exercise, let's propose the solution of the problem, write Newton's second law. We define a coordinate system where the x axis is parallel to the plane and the other axis is perpendicular to the plane.

X axis

       fr - Wₓ = m    a                      (1)

Y axis  

       N- W_{y} = 0

       N = W_{y}

let's use trigonometry to find the components of the weight

        sin θ = Wₓ / W

        cos θ = W_{y} / W

        Wₓ = W sin θ

        W_{y} = W cos θ

the friction force has the formula

         fr = μ N

         fr = μ Wy

         fr = μ mg cos θ

from equation 1

at the point where the force equals the maximum friction force

in this case the block is still still so a = 0

           F = fr

           F = (μ  mg) cos θ

We can see that the quantities in parentheses with constants, so as the angle increases, the applied force must be less.

This is the force that balances the friction force, any force slightly greater than F initiates the movement.

Consequently, to overcome the out of friction we must increase the angle of the plane

the correct answer is to increase the angle of the plane

Calculate the change in the energy of an electron that moves from the n = 3 level to the n = 2 level. What type of light is emit
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Red light

Explanation:

The energy emitted during an electron transition in an atom of hydrogen is given by

E=E_0 (\frac{1}{n_2^2}-\frac{1}{n_1^2})

where

E_0 = 13.6 eV is the energy of the lowest level

n1 and n2 are the numbers corresponding to the two levels

Here we have

n1 = 3

n2 = 2

So the energy of the emitted photon is

E=(13.6) (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})=1.9 eV

Converting into Joules,

E=(1.9 eV)(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV)=3.0\cdot 10^{-19} J

And now we can find the wavelength of the emitted photon by using the equation

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where h is the Planck constant and c is the speed of light. Solving for \lambda,

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34})(3\cdot 10^8)}{3.0\cdot 10^{-19}}=6.63\cdot 10^{-7} m = 663 nm

And this wavelength corresponds to red light.

These anisotropies in the temperature map correspond to areas of varying density fluctuations in the early universe. Eventually, gravity would draw the high-density fluctuations into even denser and more pronounced ones.
