A car travels 20 km South, then turns and travels 30 km East? What is the total displacement?

Physics
1 answer:
Ne4ueva [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:36.05 km

Given

First car travels r_1=20\ km South

then turns and travels r_2=30\ km east

Suppose south as negative y axis and east as positive x axis

So, r_1=-20\hat{j}

r_2=30\hat{i}

Displacement is the shortest between initial and final point

Dispalcement=r=r_1+r_2

Displacement=-20\hat{j}+30\hat{i}

Displacement=30\hat{i}-20\hat{j}

Magnitude =\sqrt{30^2+(-20)^2}

Magnitude=36.05\ km

Photovoltaic cells: a) have become more economical to produce and use over the past 25 years. b) are the most efficient means of
Yanka [14]

Photovoltaic cells are the most efficient means of converting solar energy to electricity. Option b is correct.

<h3>What is a cell?</h3>

A cell is a voltage and current-producing device that consists of a single anode and cathode separated by an electrolyte.

One or more cells can make up a battery. One cell, for example, is one AA battery.

Light intensity on a solar cell is often measured in "suns," with one sun roughly equivalent to 1 kW/m².

Concentrated sunlight improves the ratio of current generated while the device is lighted vs when it is dark, hence enhancing output voltage and efficiency.

Photovoltaic cells are the most efficient means of converting solar energy to electricity.

Hence, option b is correct.

A current is flowing in a wire in direction 3i + 4j where the direction of the magnetic field is 5j + 12k. The force on the wire
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

F = 0.768 i ^ - 0.576 j ^ + 0.24 k ^

the correct answer is "b"

Explanation:

The magnetic force is

          F = i l x B

The bold are vectors, in this case they give us the direction of the current and the magnetic field, for which we can solve as a determinant

         

F = i \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x&y&z\\3&4&0\\0&5&12\end{array}\right]

resolver

     F = i ^ (4 12 - 0) + j ^ (0- 3 12) + k ^ (3  5 - 0)

     F = i (48 i ^ - 36 j ^ + 15 k⁾

in this case i is the value of the current flowing through the cable

     i = 16 mA = 0.016 A

     F = 0.768 i ^ - 0.576 j ^ + 0.24 k ^

When reviewing the different answers, the correct answer is "b"

1) D

2) D.) Greater than \theta_c

Explanation:

1)

The phenomenon of total internal reflection occurs when a ray of light hitting the interface between two mediums is totally reflected back into the original medium, therefore no refraction into the second medium occurs.

This phenomenon occurs only if two conditions are satisfied:

  • The index of refraction of the first medium is larger than the index of refraction of the 2nd medium
  • The angle of incidence is greater than a certain angle called critical angle

In picture 1, we have 4 different diagrams. In the diagrams:

  • The red arrow represents the incident ray
  • The green arrow represents the refracted ray
  • The blue arrow represents the reflected ray

Total internal reflection occurs when there is no refraction, therefore when there is no green arrow: this occurs only in figure D, so this is the correct option. (in figure C, there is a refracted ray but it is parallel to the interface: this condition occurs when the angle of incidence is exactly equal to the critical angle, however in this problem, the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, so the correct option is D)

2)

As we stated in problem 1), total internal reflection occurs when the angle of incidence is equal or greater than the critical angle. Therefore in this case, the angle of incidence must be

D.) Greater than \theta_c
