Answer:

The resultant velocity is 86.1 mi/h.    

Explanation:

The law of cosines is given by:

c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2abcos(\theta)

Where:

c: is the resultant velocity =?

a: is the velocity of the plane = 75.0 mi/h

b: is the velocity of the wind = 15.0 mi/h  

θ: is the angle between "a" and "b"                          

The angle between "a" and "b" can be found as follows:

\theta = 180.0 - 46.0 = 134.0 ^{\circ}

Now, by using the law of cosines we have:

c^{2} = (75.0)^{2} + (15.0)^{2} - 2*75.0*15.0*cos(134.0) = 7413.0

c = 86.1 mi/h    

Therefore, the resultant velocity is 86.1 mi/h.    

The law of sines is:

\frac{a}{sin(\gamma)} = \frac{b}{sin(\alpha)} = \frac{c}{sin(\theta)}

Where:

γ: is the angle between "b" and "c"

α: is the angle between "a" and "c"

So, if we want to find "c" by using the law of sines, we need to know another angle besides θ (γ or α), and the statement does not give us.

I hope it helps you!

A centrifuge used in DNA extraction spins at a maximum rate of 7000rpm producing a "g-force" on the sample that is 6000 times th
defon

Answer:

A) a = 73.304 rad/s²

B) Δθ = 3665.2 rad

Explanation:

A) From Newton's first equation of motion, we can say that;

a = (ω - ω_o)/t. We are given that the centrifuge spins at a maximum rate of 7000rpm.

Let's convert to rad/s = 7000 × 2π/60 = 733.04 rad/s

Thus change in angular velocity = (ω - ω_o) = 733.04 - 0 = 733.04 rad/s

We are given; t = 10 s

Thus;

a = 733.04/10

a = 73.304 rad/s²

B) From Newton's third equation of motion, we can say that;

ω² = ω_o² + 2aΔθ

Where Δθ is angular displacement

Making Δθ the subject;

Δθ = (ω² - ω_o²)/2a

At this point, ω = 0 rad/s while ω_o = 733.04 rad/s

Thus;

Δθ = (0² - 733.04²)/(2 × 73.304)

Δθ = -537347.6416/146.608

Δθ = - 3665.2 rad

We will take the absolute value.

Thus, Δθ = 3665.2 rad

A ray of light bends upon entering a new medium. What is this phenomenon called?
Ainat [17]
Refraction is a phenomenon which results when a ray of light enters from one medium to another medium. When a ray of light enters from denser medium to rarer medium, it bends away from the normal. The laws of refraction are: The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal all lie in the same plane.
