Answer:

a) 3.18 degree.

Explanation:

tan Ф =  v sinα /( u + v cos α )

v is velocity of the air , u is velocity of pilot , α is angle between u and v and Ф is drift angle of the pilot

tan Ф = 18 sin ( 290 - 224) / 300 + 18 cos ( 290 - 224 )

           = 18 sin 66 / ( 300 + 18 cos 66)

             = 18 x .91 / (300 + 18 x .40)

               = 16.38 / 305.4 = .0536

       Ф = 3 .18 degree.

A beam of light has a wavelength of 650 nm in vacuum. (a) What is the speed of this light in a liquid whose index of refraction
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The speed of this light and wavelength in a liquid are 2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s and 442 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 650 nm

Index refraction = 1.47

(a). We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of speed

n = \dfrac{c}{v}

Where, n = refraction index

c = speed of light in vacuum

v = speed of light in medium

Put the value into the formula

1.47=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{v}

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.47}

v= 2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s

(b). We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

n=\dfrac{\lambda_{0}}{\lambda}

\lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_{0}}{n}

Where, \lambda_{0} = wavelength in vacuum

\lambda = wavelength in medium

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{650\times10^{-9}}{1.47}

\lambda=442\times10^{-9}\ m

Hence, The speed of this light and wavelength in a liquid are 2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s and 442 nm.

What causes different colors to appear in the sky.
dlinn [17]

Answer:

The colors of the sunset result from a phenomenon called scattering. Molecules and small particles in the atmosphere change the direction of light rays, causing them to scatter. ... The short-wavelength blue and violet are scattered by molecules in the air much more than other colors of the spectrum.

An escalator and an elevator can transport a person from one floor to the next. the escalator does it in 15 s and the elevator t
ad-work [718]

Answer:

The escalator does more work and the elevator has a greater power output.

Explanation:

The escalator does more work on the person because it is carrying them up. It also gives the person a chance to walk up the escalator making it a little more challenging than using just an elevator. The elevator has a greater power output because it can transport a person from one floor to another in just 10 seconds where as the escalator can do it in 15.

Hope this helps!
