Answer:

Two things we need to remember:

Speed of light = c = 299,792,458 m / s

This means that the light in one second covers a distance of 299,792,458 m

And for a circle of radius R, the is:

C = 2*pi*R

where:

pi = 3.14

Then if the radius of the earth is 6,378.1 km, then the of the earth is:

C = 2*(3.14)*6,378.1 km = 40,054.468 km

And we know that 1 km = 1000m

Then the circumference of the earth is:

C = (40,054.468*1000) m = 40,054,468 m

Now we need to see how many times the light can encircle the earth per second. (we assume that the light can move in a circular path, this is not really accurate to the reality)

We know that in one second the light can cover a distance of:  299,792,458 m

And the circumference of the earth is: 40,054,468 m

The quotient between these two distances is the number of times that the light can encircle the earth:

N = (299,792,458 m)/(40,054,468 m)  = 7.5

So light could encircle the earth 7.5 times per second.

The magnitude and direction of two vectors are shown in the diagram. What is the magnitude of their sum? ​
VLD [36.1K]

Separate the vectors into their <em>x</em>- and <em>y</em>-components. Let <em>u</em> be the vector on the right and <em>v</em> the vector on the left, so that

<em>u</em> = 4 cos(45°) <em>x</em> + 4 sin(45°) <em>y</em>

<em>v</em> = 2 cos(135°) <em>x</em> + 2 sin(135°) <em>y</em>

where <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> denote the unit vectors in the <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> directions.

Then the sum is

<em>u</em> + <em>v</em> = (4 cos(45°) + 2 cos(135°)) <em>x</em> + (4 sin(45°) + 2 sin(135°)) <em>y</em>

and its magnitude is

||<em>u</em> + <em>v</em>|| = √((4 cos(45°) + 2 cos(135°))² + (4 sin(45°) + 2 sin(135°))²)

… = √(16 cos²(45°) + 16 cos(45°) cos(135°) + 4 cos²(135°) + 16 sin²(45°) + 16 sin(45°) sin(135°) + 4 sin²(135°))

… = √(16 (cos²(45°) + sin²(45°)) + 16 (cos(45°) cos(135°) + sin(45°) sin(135°)) + 4 (cos²(135°) + sin²(135°)))

… = √(16 + 16 cos(135° - 45°) + 4)

… = √(20 + 16 cos(90°))

… = √20 = 2√5

Between what two integer powers of 2 does 2√7 lie?
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Between 5 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Integers refer to positive whole numbers.

Firstly, we need to know the value of the surd

By calculating, the value of the surd is 5.29

What this mean is that the surd is between the values of 5 and 6

It is slightly greater than 5 and not up to 6
