Answer:

The magnitude of the vector A is 51 m.

Explanation:

Given:

The horizontal component of a vector A is given as:

$A_x=44.4\ m$

The vertical component of a vector A is given as:

$A_y=25.1\ m$

Now, we know that, a vector A can be resolved into two mutually perpendicular components; one along the x axis and the other along the y axis. The magnitude of the vector A can be written as the square root of the sum of the squares of each component.

Therefore, the magnitude of vector A is given as:

$|\overrightarrow A|=\sqrt{A_{x}^2+A_{y}^2}$

Now, plug in 44.4 for $A_x$ , 25.1 for $A_y$ and solve for the magnitude of A. This gives,

$|\overrightarrow A|=\sqrt{(44.4)^2+(25.1)^2}\\|\overrightarrow A|=\sqrt{1971.36+630.01}\\|\overrightarrow A|=\sqrt{2601.37}\\|\overrightarrow A|=51\ m$

Therefore, the magnitude of the vector A is 51 m.

Estimate the peak wavelength for radiation from ice at 273 k.

Andrews [41]

<h2>Answer: 10615 nm</h2>

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the Wien's displacement law, which relates the wavelength $\lambda_{p}$ where the intensity of the radiation is maximum (also called peak wavelength) with the temperature $T$ of the black body.

In other words:

There is an inverse relationship between the wavelength at which the emission peak of a blackbody occurs and its temperature.

Being this expresed as:

$\lambda_{p}.T=C$ (1)

Where:

$T$ is in Kelvin (K)

$\lambda_{p}$ is the wavelength of the emission peak in meters (m).

$C$ is the Wien constant, whose value is $2.898(10)^{-3}m.K$

From this we can deduce that the higher the black body temperature, the shorter the maximum wavelength of emission will be.

Now, let's apply equation (1), finding $\lambda_{p}$ :

$\lambda_{p}=\frac{C}{T}$ (2)

$\lambda_{p}=\frac{2.898(10)^{-3}m.K}{273K}$

Finally:

$\lambda_{p}=10615(10)^{-9}m=10615nm$ This is the peak wavelength for radiation from ice at 273 K, and corresponds to the infrared.

When a plane flies with the wind, it can travel 1575 miles in 3.5 hours. when the plane flies in the opposite direction, again

Zepler [3.9K]

When plane is flying along the wind then we can say

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}$

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{1575}{3.5}$

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = 450 mph$

Now when its going against the wind the speed is given by

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}$

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{1575}{4.5}$

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = 350 mph$

Now by the above two equations we will have

$V_{plane} = 400 mph$

$v_{wind} = 50 mph$

Answer:

Incident ray

Explanation:

"To describe the reflection of light, we will use the following terminology. The incoming light ray is called the incident ray. The light ray moving away from the surface is the reflected ray. The most important characteristic of these rays is their angles in relation to the reflecting surface."
