(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)

Why is photoelectric effect important?
vampirchik [111]
Study of the photoelectric effect led to important steps in understanding the quantum nature of light and electrons and influenced the formation of the concept of wave-particle duality. The photoelectric effect is also widely used to investigate electron energy levels in matter.

A sound wave is determined to have a frequency of 1,000 Hz and a wavelength of 35 cm. What is the speed of this wave? If the sou
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

350 m/s

31°C

Explanation:

Speed of sound is given as the product of frequency and wavelength

S=fw

Where s represent the speed in m/s, f is frequency and w is wavelength

Conversion

Taking 1m to be 100 cm then 35 cm will be 35/100=0.35m

Substituting 0.35 m for w and 1000 Hz for f then

S=1000*0.35=350 m/s

speed of sound (m/s) = 331.5 + 0.60 T(°C)

350=331.5+0.6T

T=30.833333333333

The temperature is approximately 31°C

What can you use to determine whether the SATA port no which you are connecting the drive will also run at 6.0Gbps?
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The answer is "use manual motherboard".

Explanation:

The motherboard is also known as the mainboard, it an electronic circuit board, that can connect with the CPU, RAM, and other networking equipment parts. It is also is known as a chipset, that differ widely in style, context, power source, height and performance (Form Factor).

All the data of the computer is stored memory, which checks into the motherboard, that the SATA port which you are connected to is still going to run at 6.0Gbps or not.
