slader A jet is circling an airport control tower at a distance of 15.9 km. An observer in the tower watches the jet cross in fr

ont of the moon. As seen from the tower, the moon subtends an angle of 8.74x10-3 radians. Find the distance traveled (in meters) by the jet as the observer watches the nose of the jet cross from one side of the moon to the other.

Answer:

y = 138.96 m

Explanation:

The angle subtended by the moon is the mean of the angle of the arc between the two most extreme points of the moon, we can see that the angle is very small, so we can approximate this arc to a straight line and then use the trigonometric relationships

         sin θ = y / L

where L = 15.9 10³ m and θ = 8.74 10⁻³ rad

          y = L sin θ

          y = 15.9 10³ sin (8.74 10⁻³)

         y = 15.9 10³    0.0087399

         y = 138.96 m

During a particular thunderstorm, the electric potential difference between a cloud and the ground is vcloud - vground = 3.50 10
wariber [46]
<span>The change in the electron's potential energy is equal to the work done on the electron by the electric field. The electron's potential energy is the stored energy relative to the electron's position in the electric field. Vcloud - Vground represents the change in Voltage. This voltage quantity is given to be 3.50 x 10^8 V, with the electron at the lower potential. The formula for calculating the change in the electron's potential energy (EPE) is found by charge x (Vcloud - Vground) = (EPEcloud - EPE ground) where charge is constant = 1.6 x 10^-19. Filling in the known quantities results in the expression 1.6 x 10^-19 (3.50 x 10^8) = (EPEcloud - EPEground) = 5.6 x 10^-11. Therefore, the change in the electron's potential energy from cloud to ground is 5.6 x 10^-11 joules.</span>

Give an example of how the apparent motion of an object depends on the observers motion
QveST [7]
In a moving car the outside looks to be moving. however if viewed from the outside, the car appears to be moving. so motion is relative to the person observing.

1. An 800-gram bowling ball is rolling in a straight line toward you. If its momentum is 16 kg•m/sec, how fast is it traveling?
ziro4ka [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

The ball is rolling at a speed of 0.02 meter per second.

<u>Step by step explanation:</u>

We are given that there is a 800 gram bowling ball rolling in a straight line. If its momentum is given to be 16 kg.m/sec, we are to find its velocity.

For this, we will use the formula of momentum.

<em>Momentum = mass × velocity</em>

16 = 800 × velocity

Velocity = 16/800 = 0.02 meter per second
