Answer:

The Heavier Firefighter

Explanation:

Generally, more massive objects will have more intertia than less massive objects.  As such it takes more force to halt a more massive object if its moving at the same speed as a smaller object. This can also be thought of in the context of Newton's second law. The more force needed to accelerate an object means the more force the object will have.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

<em>0.25</em>

Explanation:

According to newtons law of motion

\sum F_x = ma

F_f =  ma

nR = ma

nmg = ma

ng = a

n = a/g

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Given

a = 2.42m/s²

g = 9.8m/s²

Substitute into the formula;

n = 2.42/9.8

n = 0.25

<em>Hence the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.25</em>

Photons with wavelength 1 pm are incident on electrons. What is the frequency of the Compton-scattered photons at an angle of 60
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

f = 1.354*10^{20} Hz

Explanation:

By conservation of linear momentum, wavelength shift due to collision of photon to electron is given by following formula

\lambda ^{'}-\lambda =\frac{h}{m_{o}c}(1-cos\theta )

where h is plank constant = 6.626*10^{-34}

c = speed of light = 3*10^{8} m/s

scattered angle  =  60 degree

m = rest mass of electron  = 9*10^{-31}

\lambda ^{'}=10^{-12} +\frac{6.626*10^{-34}}{9*10^{-31}*3*10^{8}}(1-cos60^{o} )

\lambda ^{'}= 2.215 pm

we know that 1 pm = 10^{-12}m

f = \frac{c}{\lambda ^{'}}

f = \frac{3*10^{8}}{2.215 *10^{-12}} = 1.354*10^{20} Hz

f = 1.354*10^{20} Hz

The pilot of an aircraft wishes to fly due west in a wind blowing at 45 km/h toward the south. If the speed of the aircraft in t
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

164.2°

Explanation:

speed of wind (w) = 45 km/h due south

speed of aircraft (a) = 165 km/h

in what direction (in degrees) should the aircraft head in so as to fly due west?

To get the direction the pilot should fly, we can form a triangle with the data available where

  • the direction of the wind (due south) serves as the opposite side
  • the direction the pilot would have to fly so he can end up at he west serves as the hypothenuse
  • θ is the angle between the direction the pilot would have to fly and the direction the pilot wishes to fly.
  • the direction the pilot wishes to fly ( west) will serve as the adjacent side
  • all this can be seen from the attached diagram.

now sin θ = \frac{speed of the wind}{speed of the aircraft}

sin θ = \frac{45}{165}

θ = sin^{-1} 0.2728

θ = 15.8°

since we are to use the counter-clockwise from east convention our measurement would have to be taken anticlockwise from the east direction, therefore the direction of the aircraft (Ф) = 180-15.8 = 164.2°

What term described the capability to prevent one participant in an electronic transaction from denying it performed an action?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Plausible deniability.

Explanation:

Plausible deniability.

It is the ability of a person to refuse to accept knowledge of responsibility, if any secret(demeaning) action is done by others in an organizational hierarchy as there may be lack of evidence to confirm their involvement. Specially for high level official who can willfully deny any awareness of the to avoid themselves getting involved in blame game.
