While driving north at 21 m/s during a rainstorm you notice that the rain makes an angle of 36° with the vertical. while drivin

g back home moments later at the same speed but in the opposite direction, you see that the rain is falling straight down. from these observations, determine the speed and the angle of the raindrops relative to the ground?

Let the velocity of the vehicle be 
V₁ = (21, 0)
Let the velocity of a raindrop be
V₂ = (a, b)

When returning, the raindrop is vertical. 
Therefore a = 21 m/s

When driving north, a raindrop makes an angle of 36° with the vertical, therefore
tan(36°) = a/b = 21/b
b = 21/tan(36°) = 28.9 m/s

The speed of a raindrop is
√(a² + b²) = √(441 + 835.44) = 35.73 m/s
The angle is 90-36 = 54° with the ground.

Answer: 35.7 m/s at 54° relative to the ground.

If the speed of a wave is 1500m/sec and its frequency is 200 Hz, what is its wavelength
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The wavelength of wave is 7.5 meter.

Given:

Speed of wave = 1500 \frac{m}{s}

Frequency of wave = 200 Hz

To find:

Wavelength of wave = ?

Formula used:

\lambda = \frac{v}{n}

Where \lambda = wavelength of the wave

v = speed of wave

n = frequency of wave

Solution:

Wavelength of wave is given by,

\lambda = \frac{v}{n}

Where \lambda = wavelength of the wave

v = speed of wave

n = frequency of wave

\lambda = \frac{1500}{200}

\lambda = 7.5 m

The wavelength of wave is 7.5 meter.

Explain why you can only change one variable in an experiment
ohaa [14]
The purpose of an experiment is to LEARN the EFFECT of something.

The way you do that is to CHANGE the thing and see what happens.

You can change as many things as you want to.  But If you change
TWO things and observe the result, then you don't know which one
of them caused the effect you see. 

Or maybe BOTH of them working together caused it.  You don't know. 

So your experiment is not really much good.  You need to do it again.
