In extremely large​ forests, it is not​ cost-effective to position forest rangers in towers or to use small aircraft to continua

lly watch for fires. Since lightning is a frequent cause of​ fire, lightning detectors are now commonly used instead. These devices not only give a bearing on the location but also measure the intensity of the lightning. A detector at point Q is situated 11 miles west of a central fire station at point R. The bearing from Q to where lightning hits due south of R is S37.3​°E. How far is the hit from point​ R?

Answer:

Point R is at 14.28 miles.

Explanation:

According to the attached image:

Q = 90 - 37.6 = 52.4°

Using the tangent property:

tanθ = s/11

s = 11 * tanθ = 11 * tan52.4 = 14.28 miles

An object initially at rest accelerates at 5 meters per second2 until it attains a speed of 30 meters per second. What distance
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Distance s  = 90 meter

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity u = 0 m/s

Final velocity v = 30 m/s

Acceleration a = 5 m/s²

Find:

Distance s

Computation:

v² = u² + 2as

30² = 0² + 2(5)(s)

Distance s  = 90 meter

An uncharged 1.0-μF capacitor is connected in series with a resistor, an ideal battery, and an open switch. What is the voltage
Trava [24]

Answer:

Just after closing the switch, zero; when the capacitor is fully charged, the voltage is equal to the voltage of the battery

Explanation:

A capacitor is a device able to store charge. It generally consists of two parallel metallic plates separated by an insulator (usually air), so that charge cannot pass through the gap. Therefore, when the capacitor is connected to a battery and a current starts circulating through the circuit, negative charge accumulates on one plate of the capacitor, while the other plate acquire an equal and opposite positive charge.

This process continues until the capacitor is fully charged, which means when no more charge can be accumulated on the capacitor.

At the beginning, when the capacitor is uncharged, there is no electric field between the plates of the capacitor, so the voltage across the capacitor is zero.

Later, as the capacitor charges, the electric field between the plates increases; when the capacitor becomes fully charged, the voltage across the capacitor is exactly equal to the voltage of the battery.
