Red Riding Hood sat down to rest and placed her 1.20-kg basket of goodies beside her. A wolf came along, spotted the basket, and

began to pull on the handle with a force of 6.40 N at an angle of 25° with respect to vertical. Red was not going to let go easily, so she pulled on the handle with a force of 12.5 N. If the net force on the basket is straight up, at what angle was Red Riding Hood pulling from the vertical? (show work)

Answer:

117.6°

Explanation:

The vertical component of a force directed at some angle α from the vertical is ...

F·cos(α)

We want the vertical components of the wolf's force (Fw) and Red's force (Fr) to total zero. So for some angle from vertical α, Red's force will satisfy ...

Fw·cos(25°) + Fr·cos(α) = 0

cos(α) = -Fw/Fr·cos(25°) ≈ -(6.4 N)/(12.5 N)·0.906308 ≈ -0.464030

α ≈ arccos(-0.464030) ≈ 117.6°

Red was pulling at an angle of about 117.6° from the vertical.

Parallel rays of monochromatic light with wavelength 571nm illuminate two identical slits and produce an interference pattern on

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$8.8\times 10^{-6} W/m^2$

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength, $\lambda=571 nm=571\times 10^{-9} m$

$1 nm=10^{-9} m$

R=75 cm= $\frac{75}{100}=0.75 m$

1 m=100 cm

$d=0.640 mm=0.64\times 10^{-3} m$

$1 mm=10^{-3} m$

$a=0.434 mm=0.434\times 10^{-3} m$

$y=0.830 mm=0.830\times 10^{-3} m$

$I_0=5.00\times 10^{-4}W/m^2$

$tan\theta=\frac{y}{R}$

$\theta=\frac{0.830\times 10^{-3}}{0.75\times 10^{-2}}$

$\theta=1.1\times 10^{-3}rad$

$tan\theta\approx \theta$

Because $\theta$ is small.

$\phi=\frac{2\pi dsin\theta}{\lambda}$

$\sin\theta\approx \theta$ ,

Therefore

$\phi=\frac{2\times\pi\times 0.64\times 10^{-3}\times 1.1\times 10^{-3}}{571\times 10^{-9}}$

$\phi=7.74 rad$

$\beta=\frac{2\pi a\theta}{\lambda}$

$\beta=5.3 rad$

$I=I_0cos^2(\frac{\phi}{2})(\frac{sin\frac{\beta}{2}}{\frac{\beta}{2}})^2$

$I=5\times 10^{-4}cos^2(\frac{7.74}{2})(\frac{sin\frac{5.3}{2}}{\frac{5.3}{2}})^2$

$I=8.8\times 10^{-6} W/m^2$

Which statement correctly defines power?

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

$Power=V\, I$ which corresponds to the second option shown: "voltage times amperage"

Explanation:

The electric power is the work done to move a charge Q across a given difference of potential V per unit of time.

Since such electrical work is the product of the potential difference V times the charge that moves through that potential, and this work is to be calculated by the unit of time, we need to divide the product by time (t) which leads to the following final simple equation:

$Power=\frac{V\,Q}{t} =V\,\frac{Q}{t} = V\, I$

Notice that we replaced the quotient representing charge per unit of time (Q/t) by the actual current running through the circuit.

This corresponds to the second option shown in the question: "Voltage times amperage".

Based on details in The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, which statement best describes Jean-Baptiste Fourier's influence on Jean-Fr

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete below is the missing part of the complete question

which statement best describes Jean-Baptiste Fourier’s influence on Jean-François Champollion? Fourier shared his research about mathematics with Champollion, which aided him in his research. Fourier was the first to introduce Champollion to the hieroglyphs on the Rosetta Stone, which fascinated him. Fourier shared his findings about the Rosetta Stone with Champollion, which helped him in his research. Fourier was the first to introduce Champollion to a variety of languages, which prompted his love of languages.

answer : Fourier was the first to introduce Champollion to a variety of languages, which prompted his love of languages.

Explanation:

Jean-Baptiste Fourier's influence on Jean-Francois Champollion is that Fourier was the first to introduce Champollion to a variety of languages, which prompted his love of languages. also Fourier was a mathematician who pleaded on the behalf of Champollion when he was about to be adopted into the military.
