Anita and Nick are playing tug-of-war near a mud puddle. They are each holding on to an end of a taut rope that has a knot exact
ly in the middle. Anita's position is 6.2 meters east of the center of the puddle and Nick's position is 3.0 meters west of the center of the puddle. What is the location of the knot relative to the center of the puddle? Treat east as positive and west as negative.
1 answer:
Answer:
1.6 meters east
Explanation:
Note: Image attached.
As we can see on the data, Anita is further from the puddle than Nick. Additionally, the distances relatives to the center of the puddle allow us to now the lenght of the rope which is the sum of these two, 9.2 meters. We also know that the knot is at the middle of the rope, so it means it is at 4.6 meters of both Anita and Nick. Now what is next? Well, we now have everything we know. We have the distance between Anita and the puddle and we also know the distance between Anita and the knot (4.6 meters). We just need to subtract the distance to the knot from the distance to the puddle which is equal to 1,6 meters east direction.

Answer:
in a vacuum
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields along a plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave (transverse waves)
Electromagnetic waves are the only waves being able to travel in a vacuum, since they do not need a medium to propagate.
In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed, called speed of light, whose value is:
The speed of the waves is actually reduced when they enter a medium, according to
where n is the refractive index of the medium.
Electromagnetic waves are also classified into 7 different types according to their wavelength. From shortest to longest wavelength, we have:
Gamma rays
X-rays
Ultraviolet
Visible light
Infrared
Microwaves
Radio waves
The work-energy theorem says that the total work done on the block is equal to the difference of its kinetic energies at points B and A. Then the total work done on the block is
Friction acts on the block to oppose its motion, so it does negative work on the block, -4.5 J.
The only other force acting on the block as it moves is the force <em>P</em>. Let be the work done by the force <em>P</em>. Then the total work done on the block is
