Two astronauts push on a satellite. One pushes in the positive x direction with a force of 42 N, and the other pushes in the pos

itive y direction. If the net force is at an angle of 15° above the positive x axis, what is the magnitude of the second astronaut's force?

The vectors adition we can find the magnitude of the force applied by the other astronaut is  11.25 N in the y direction

 

Parameters given

  • Force of an astronaut Fₓ = 42 N
  • Angle θ = 15º

To find

  • Force another astronaut

The force is a vector magnitude for which the addition of vectors must be used, a very efficient method to perform this sum is to add the components of each vector and devise constructing the resulting vector using trigonometry and the Pythagorean theorem.

Let's use trigonometry to find the other force

            tan θ = \frac{F_y}{F_x}

            F_ y = Fₓ tan θ

let's calculate

            F_y = 42 tan 15

            F_y = 11.25 N

Using the summation of vectors we can find the magnitude of the force applied by the other astronaut is 11.25 N in the y direction

Two speakers separated by a distance of 4.40 m emit sound. The speakers have opposite phase. A person listens from a location 3.
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

f = 147.21 Hz

Explanation:

In order to have a destructive interference, as the source emit in opposite phases, the path difference between the distance to the person, measured in a straight line from the speakers, must be equal to an integer number of wavelengths.

We need to know the distance from the listener to the other speaker, located 4.4 m from the one which is directly in front of him, which we can find using Pythagorean theorem, as follows:

l₂ = √(3)²+(4.4)² = 5.33 m

The difference in path will be, then:

d = l₂-l₁ = 5.33 m - 3.00 m = 2.33 m

For the lowest frequency that gives destructive interference, the wavelength will be highest possible, which happens when the distance is just one wavelength.

⇒ d = λ = 2.33 m

In any wave, there exists a fixed relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength, as follows:

v = λ*f Κ  ⇒ f = v/λ

Taking the speed of sound as 343 m/s, and solving for f, we get:

f= 343 m/s / 2.33 m = 147.21 Hz

S Assume you have a battery of emf E and three identical lightbulbs, each having constant resistance R. What is the total power
slega [8]

The total power delivered by the battery if the lightbulbs are connected is 9V^2/R

<h3>Power of a battery</h3>

The formula for calculating the power of a battery is expressed according to the equation;

Power = v^2/RT

where

R is the total resistance

v is the voltage or emf

If there are 3 identical lightbulbs, each having constant resistance R, then;

1/RT = 1/R + 1/R + 1/R

1/RT = 3/R

RT = R/3

The voltage drop across each   lightbulbs will be the same for parallel connection, hence;

Power = 3V^2/(R/3)

Power = 9V^2/R

Hence the total power delivered by the battery if the lightbulbs are connected is 9V^2/R
