The answer:
the full question is as follow:
 <span>A Texas rancher wants to fence off his four-sided plot of flat land. He measures the first three sides, shown as A, B, and C in Figure below , where A = 4.90 km and θC = 15°. He then correctly calculates the length and orientation of the fourth side D. What is the magnitude and direction of vector D? 

As shown in the figure, 
A + B + C + D = 0, so to find the </span>magnitude and direction of vector D, we should follow the following method:
 D = 0 - (A + B + C) , 
let  W = - (A + B + C), so the magnitude and direction of vector D is the same of the vector W characteristics

Magnitude
 A + B + C = <span> (4.90cos7.5 - 2.48sin16 - 3.02cos15)I</span>
<span>+ (-4.9sin7.5 + 2.48cos16 + 3.02sin15)J
</span>= 1.25I +2.53J
the magnitude of W= abs value of (A + B + C) = sqrt (1.25² + 2.53²)
= 2.82
 
the direction of D can be found by using Dx and Dy value
we know that     tan<span>θo = Dx / Dy = 1.25 / 2.53 =0.49
</span>tanθo =0.49 it implies θo = arctan 0.49 = 26.02°

direction is 26.02°

Both the moon and the sun influence the tides on Earth. The moon has a much greater influence though. Why is that
3241004551 [841]
Because even though the moon is smaller, therefore a weaker gravitational pull, the moon is much closer to the earth than the sun, thus having a greater gravitational pull

You need to focus a 10 mW, 632.8 nm Gaussian laser beam that is 5.0 mm in diameter into a sample. You have access to a lens with
Anna [14]

Answer:

ee that the lens with the shortest focal length has a smaller object

           

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the constructor equation or Gaussian equation

        \frac{1}{f}  = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

Magnification a lens system is

          m = \frac{h'}{h} = - \frac{q}{p}

             h ’= -\frac{h q}{p}

In the exercise give the value of the height of the object h = 0.50cm and the position of the object p =∞

Let's calculate the distance to the image for each lens

f = 6.0 cm

           \frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{f }  - \frac{1}{p}

as they indicate that the light fills the entire lens, this indicates that the object is at infinity, remember that the light of the laser rays is almost parallel, therefore p = inf

          q = f = 6.0 cm

for the lens of f = 12.0 cm q = 12.0 cn

to find the size of the image we use

           h ’= h q / p

where p has a high value and is the same for all systems

           h ’= h / p q

Thus

f = 6 cm h ’= fo 6 cm

 

f = 12 cm h ’= fo 12  cm

therefore we see that the lens with the shortest focal length has a smaller object
