Energy and Work have the same unit of measurement which is Joules in SI units.

Explanation:

A Joule of Work is said to be done on an object when energy is transferred to that particular object.
If two objects are involved, when one object transfers energy onto the second, a joule of work is said to be done by the first object.
Work is also the application of force on an object over a distance. So Work = Force × Displacement
Energy is neither created nor destroyed. It is in 2 forms - kinetic and potential.
Kinetic energy is defined as the energy of a moving object while potential energy is known as the energy that is stored within an object.
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × mass × (velocity)²
Potential Energy = mass × acceleration due to gravity × height
Both energy and work are measured in Joules.

We are given an electromagnetic wave with a frequency of 5.09 x 10^14 Hz and travelling through a transparent medium. If the medium was vacuum, the speed of the wave would be equal to the speed of light. Otherwise, the main factor that would determine the speed of the wave is its wavelength.

Answer:0.114 C

Explanation:

Given

Total 4.7 C is distributed in two spheres

Let $q_1$ and $q_2$ be the charges such that

$q_1+q_2=4.7$

and Force between charge particles is given by

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

$4.7\times 10^11=\frac{9\times 10^9\times q_1\cdot q_2}{0.1^2}$

$q_1\cdot q_2=0.522$

put the value of $q_1$

$q_2\left ( 4.7-q_2\right )=0.522$

$q_2^2-4.7q_2+0.522=0$

$q_2=\frac{4.7\pm \sqrt{4.7^2-4\times 1\times 0.522}}{2}$

$q_2=0.114 C$

thus $q_1=4.586 C$

A person on a cruise ship is doing laps on the promenade deck. On one portion of the track the person is moving north with a spe

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The direction of motion of the person relative to the water is 16.7° north of east.

Why?

We can solve the problem by applying the Pitagorean Theorem, where the first speed (to the north) and the second speed (to the east) corresponds to two legs of the right triangle formed with them. (north and east directions are perpendicular each other)

We can calculate the angle that give the direction using the following formula:

$Tan(\alpha)=\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed}\\\\Tan(\alpha)^{-1}=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}\\\\\alpha=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}$
