Answer:

R = 3.606 KN, θ = 24°

Explanation:

Resolving the forces to the x-direction

Rx = 3cos60 + 2cos30

= 1.5 + 1.732 = 3.232 KN

Resolving the forces to the y-direction

Ry = -3sin60 + 2sin30

= -2.6 + 1 = -1.6 KN

Getting the resultant of the two forces

R = \sqrt{Rx^2 + Ry^2}

Substituting the values of Rx and Ry, we obtain

R = 3.606 KN

tanθ = Ry/Rx = | -1.6/3.232 |

Then we have θ = 24°

Which force changes the lithosphere by building up the surface?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

volcanic eruptions

Explanation:

The volcanic eruptions are the ones that manage to cause changes to the lithosphere by building up new material on the surface. Through the volcanic eruptions we have release of pyroclastic material on the surface, and more importantly and in much higher amount lava flows. The lava flows quickly cool off on the surface on the Earth, and as they do they pile up new layers of igneous rocks, thus new crust on the surface of the Earth, causing changes on the lithosphere and shaping it for the foreseeable future.

Which statements describe vectors? Check all that apply. -Vectors have magnitude only. -Vectors have direction only. -Vectors ha
Natali [406]

Answer:

Vectors have both magnitude and direction

Explanation:

Vectors show how strong the force in because the bigger the arrow, the stronger the force.  Also, it obviously shows direction because its an arrow.

(a) Aircraft sometimes acquire small static charges. Suppose a supersonic jet has a 0.500 - μC charge and flies due west at a sp
12345 [234]

(a) 2.64\cdot 10^{-8} N north

We can treat the aircraft as a single point charge moving in a magnetic field. In this case, the magnetic force exerted on the plane is

F=qvB sin \theta

where

q=0.500 \mu C = 0.500\cdot 10^{-6} C is the charge on the plane

v = 660 m/s is the velocity

B=8.00\cdot 10^{-5} T is the magnitude of the magnetic field

\theta=90^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of motion of the jet and of the magnetic field

Substituting,

F=(0.5\cdot 10^{-6})(660)(8.0\cdot 10^{-5})=2.64\cdot 10^{-8} N

The direction can be found by using Fleming's left hand rule. We have:

- index finger: magnetic field direction (straight up)

- middle finger: velocity of the plane (due west)

- force: thumb --> north

(b) Not negligible

As we can see from part (a), the magnitude of the force is not really big, so the effects are negligible.

For instance, we can compare this force with the weight of a plane. If we take a Boeing 737, its mass is about 80,000 kg, so its weight is

W=mg=(80000)(9.8)=784,000 N

As we can see, this is several orders of magnitude bigger than the magnetic force calculated at point (a), so the effects of the magnetic force are negligible.

A square loop of wire with initial side length 10 cm is placed in a magnetic field of strength 1 T. The field is parallel to the
Fofino [41]

Answer:

2 x 10⁻³ volts

Explanation:

B = magnetic of magnetic field parallel to the axis of loop = 1 T

\frac{dA}{dt} = rate of change of area of the loop = 20 cm²/s = 20 x 10⁻⁴ m²

θ = Angle of the magnetic field with the area vector = 0

E = emf induced in the loop

Induced emf is given as

E = B \frac{dA}{dt}

E = (1) (20 x 10⁻⁴ )

E = 2 x 10⁻³ volts

E = 2 mV

Consider the following spectrum where two colorful lines (A and B) are positioned on a dark background. The violet end of the sp
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

This type of spectrum is called line emission spectrum . Because it consists of lines . It is emission spectrum because it is due to emission of radiation from a source .

b ) The wavelength of a photon  is inversely proportional to its energy .  Photon  due to transition between n = 1 and n = 3 will have higher energy than

that due to transition between n = 2 and n = 5 . So the later photon ( B)  will have greater wavelength or photon  due to transition between n = 2 and n = 5 will have greater wavelength .
