(Use the Pythagorean theorem to answer the question.) An airplane takes off going straight west at 340 km/h for 1 hour, then tur

ns and heads south for another hour at 360 km/h before reaching its final destination. What is the airplane's displacement?

South is perpendicular to West, so the plane's route forms a right triangle, and you can use Good Old Pythagoras to calculate the length of the hypotenuse.

The length of the displacement is   √(the west piece² + the south piece²)   .

That's      √ [ (340km)² + (360km)² ]

           =  √ [ (115,600) km²  +  (129,600) km² ]

           =   √ 245,200 km²

           =     495 km 

To be technical, Displacement is a vector, so we would need to
calculate its direction too.

Naturally, the plane winds up roughly southwest of where it took off.

You'd want to find the angle whose tangent is  (360/340) = about 1.059 .
The direction of the Displacement is that angle south of west. (about 46.6 degrees)

The efficiency of a screw is low because of _____.
AfilCa [17]
The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be the second option. A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. <span>The efficiency of a screw is low because there is more input than output. In other words, it is because of friction. Hope this answer helps.</span>

Through what voltage must an αα-particle, with its charge of +2e+2e, be accelerated so that it has just enough energy to reach a
mezya [45]

Answer:5101.35v

Explanation:

Radius of gold nucleus=7.3×10-15m and a charge of +79e

Q= 79e

e=1.6×10^-19

q= +2e

The nucleus is considered as the point charge where the potential energy between the charges are

U = 1/(4×3.142×Eo)×(qQ)/r

Where r is distance between the charges and the nucleus

r=R+d

V=U/q

U= 1/(4×3.142×Eo)×Q/r

V= 1/(4×3.142×Eo)×Q/(r+d)

9.0×10^9 ×(79×10^-19)/(7.3×10^-15)+(1.5×10^-14)

V= 9.0×10^9 ×(1.264×10^-17)/(2.23×10^-14)

V= 9×10^9×(5.67×10^-14)= 5101.35v

What would happen to the moon if there was no sun and earth ?
iragen [17]

Answer:

High tides would be much smaller than they are now, and low tides would be even lower. This is because the sun would be influencing the tides, not the moon; however, the sun has a weaker pull, which would decrease the tides. ... Winds could become much faster and much stronger without the moon.

After a laser bean passes through two thin parallel slits, thefirst completely dark fringes occur at ± 15.00with the original di
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

143 °

Explanation:

a ) If d be the distance between slits , λ be wavelength of light used and at angle θ nth dark fringe is formed then

d sinθ = ( 2n+1) λ/2

for first dark fringe

d sinθ = λ/2

d /λ = 1/ 2 sinθ

1 / 2 sin15

= 1.93

b )

For intensity of fringe at angle θ,  the relation is

I = I₀ cos²θ

I / I₀  = cos²θ/2

Given I / I₀ =0. 1

0.1 = cos²θ/2

θ/2 = 71.5

θ = 143 °
