An object travels with velocity v = 4.0 meters/second and it makes an angle of 60.0° with the positive direction of the y-axis.

Calculate the possible values of vx.

Answer:

2 m/s and -2 m/s

Explanation:

The object travels with an angle of

60.0°

with the positive direction of the y-axis: this means that it lies either in the 1st quadrant (positive x) or in the 2nd quadrant (negative x).

If it lies in the 1st quadrant, the value of vx (component of v along x direction) is:

v_x = v cos \theta = (4.0 m/s) cos 60.0^{\circ}=2 m/s

If it lies in the 2nd quadrant, the value of vx (component of v along x direction) is:

v_x = -v cos \theta = -(4.0 m/s) cos 60.0^{\circ}=-2 m/s

<h2>Answers:</h2><h2 /><h2>a) Arrow B</h2><h2>b) Arrow E</h2>

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon in which a wave (the light in this case) bends or changes its direction <u>when passing through a medium with a refractive index different from the other medium.</u>  Where the Refractive index is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material.  

According to this, if we observe the rays  A an D passing throgh the biconcave lens, we will have two mediums:

1) The air

2)The material of the biconcave lens

This two mediums have different refractive indexes, hence the rays will change the direction.

-For the incident ray A, the corresponding refractive ray is B, because is the ray that bends after passing throgh the lens

-For the incident ray D, the refracted ray is E following the same principle.

Calculate the orbital period of a dwarf planet found to have a semimajor axis of a = 4.0x 10^12 meters in seconds and years.
padilas [110]

Explanation:

We have,

Semimajor axis is 4\times 10^{12}\ m

It is required to find the orbital period of a dwarf planet. Let T is time period. The relation between the time period and the semi major axis is given by Kepler's third law. Its mathematical form is given by :

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{GM}a^3

G is universal gravitational constant

M is solar mass

Plugging all the values,

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.98\times 10^{30}}\times (4\times 10^{12})^3\\\\T=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.98\times10^{30}}\times(4\times10^{12})^{3}}\\\\T=4.37\times 10^9\ s

Since,

1\ s=3.17\times 10^{-8}\ \text{years}\\\\4.37\times 10^9\ s=4.37\cdot10^{9}\cdot3.17\cdot10^{-8}\\\\4.37\times 10^9\ s=138.52\ \text{years}

So, the orbital period of a dwarf planet is 138.52 years.

Which answer is a scientifically accurate description of velocity?
viktelen [127]

The boat traveled from the dock north to the 200-meter marker in the bay in less than 5 minutes, giving the passengers several more hours to fish.

Explanation:

Velocity is a physical quantity that describes the rate of change of displacement with time.

   Velocity = \frac{Displacement}{time taken}

The quantity differs from speed in that it has both magnitude and direction.

From the options given above:

Displacement: The boat traveled in the north direction from the dock to a 200m mark.

Time taken: approximately less than 5 minutes was the duration of traveling.

This describes the boat's velocity accurately.
