A jogger travels a route that has two parts. The first is a displacement of 3 km due south, and the second involves a displaceme

nt that points due east. The resultant displacement + has a magnitude of 3.85 km. (a) What is the magnitude of , and (b) what is the direction of + as a positive angle relative to due south? Suppose that - had a magnitude of 3.85 km. (c) What then would be the magnitude of , and (d) what is the direction of - relative to due south?

Answer:

a) 2.41 km

b) 38.8°

Questions c and d are illegible.

Explanation:

We can express the displacements as vectors with origin on the point he started (0, 0).

When he traveled south he moved to (-3, 0).

When he moved east he moved to (-3, x)

The magnitude of the total displacement is found with Pythagoras theorem:

d^2 = dx^2 + dy^2

Rearranging:

dy^2 = d^2 - dx^2

dy = \sqrt{d^2 - dx^2}

dy = \sqrt{3.85^2 - 3^2}  = 2.41 km

The angle of the displacement vector is:

cos(a) = dx/d

a = arccos(dx/d)

a = arccos(3/3.85) = 38.8°

Alchen [17]

Answer:

It looks yellow because that is the only (major) color reflected.

Visible spectra is from about 4000-7000 Angstroms (10^-10 m).

Red are longer wavelengths and blue are the shorter wavelengths.

The Sodium doublet (yellow) occurs around 5900 Angstroms.

How are newtons third law and his law of universal gravitation are connected
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

please give me brainlist and follow

Explanation:

Gravitational force keeps it attracted to the Earth, and centripetal force keeps it moving in a circle. ... Explain how Newton's third law and his law of universal gravitation are connected. His third law states that every force has an equal opposite force attracted to it, and that force is caused by gravity.

How Can the human ear detect the sound
mart [117]

Answer:

Sound waves enter the outer ear and travel through a narrow passageway called the ear canal, which leads to the eardrum. The eardrum vibrates from the incoming sound waves and sends these vibrations to three tiny bones in the middle ear.
