Answer:

10.88 km

Explanation:

We shall represent displacement in terms of i , j  unit vectors in the direction of east and north .

4.5 km due west

D₁ = - 4.5 i

6.7 km at an angle of 27° south of west

D₂ = - 6.7 cos27 i - 6.7 sin27j

= - 6.7 x .89 i - 6.7 x .45 j

= - 5.96i - 3 j

Total displacement

= D₁ + D₂

=  - 4.5 i - 5.96i - 3 j

= -10.46 i - 3j

Magnitude = √ ( 10.46² + 3²)

= √ ( 109.41 + 9)

= √ 118.41

= 10.88 km .

Which of the following scientific terms has the most evidence and observations?
Elza [17]
<span>The correct answer should be B. a scientific law. A hypothesis is a belief by the scientist that may or may not be proven so it exists before evidence and observation, while a theory comes later. However, a law is observation itself and is always evidence of itself. There is no belief or lack of knowledge as to what will happen when it comes to laws. The law of action and reaction has plenty evidence and can easily be observed.</span>

Find the frequency if the period is 15 us.
Sav [38]

Answer:

The frequency is 0.667× 10^{6} Hz.

Explanation:

  1. Period is defined as the time taken by any element to attempt one complete oscillatory motion in one second.
  2. Frequency is the number of complete oscillations made in one second.
  • Frequency and period are inversely proportional to each other.
  • In mathematical term: frequency = \frac{1}{period}.
  • As we are given, period = 15×10^{-6} s.
  • We can easily calculate frequency as: f\\= \frac{1}{15. 10^{-6} }
  • So frequency is f= 0.667× 10^{6} Hz.
