Answer:

The answer to the question is;

One minute later the distance from the plane to the radar station is increasing at a rate of 387.049 kph

Explanation:

Spped of plane = 390 km/h = 108.3 m/s

angle of 30 degrees vertical component of velocity = 390 * sin 30 = 195 km/h = 6.45 km/min

after one minute we have

6.45 km

Using cosine rule we have

a^2=b^2+c^2-2bc cosA

Where A = 120 and

b = Vertical height of plane above radar = 1 km

a = Distance of plane from radar

c = Distance moved by plane in one minute = third side of triangle abc

Solving with b = 1 kph gives

a^2=1^2+c^2-2bc cos(120)

= 1 + c^2-2×1×c ×(-1/2)

=1+c^2+c or

a² = 1 + c² + c

Where c = 6.5 a =7.0533

To find the rate of change of a with time, we have

2a(da/dt)=0+2c(dc/dt)+dc/dt

(da/dt) = (2c+1)(dc/dt)/(2a)

Which gives

(da/dt)= (2×6.5+1)×6.5÷(2×7.0533)

= 6.45km/min

Multiply by 60 min/hour, we have

6.45km/min×60 min/hour

=387.049 kph

A mercury thermometer has a glass bulb of interior volume 0.100 cm3 at 10°c. the glass capillary 10) tube above the bulb has an

Nadya [2.5K]

Initial volume of mercury is
V = 0.1 cm³

The temperature rise is 35 - 5 = 30 ⁰C = 30 ⁰K.

Because the coefficient of volume expansion is 1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K, the change in volume of the mercury is
ΔV = (1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K)*(30 ⁰K)(0.1 cm³) = 5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³

The cross sectional area of the tube is
A = 0.012 mm² = (0.012x10⁻² cm²).
Therefore the rise of mercury in the tube is
h = ΔV/A
= (5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³)/(0.012x10⁻² cm²)
= 4.5 cm

Answer: 4.5 cm

While looking at bromine (Br) on the periodic table, a student needs to find another element with very similar chemical properti

Ede4ka [16]

Answer: There are many possible elements, and they are all in the same vertical column as bromine.

Explanation:

In a periodic table, the elements are arranged according to the atomic number. The elements arranged in the same vertical column (known as groups) have same valence configuration and therefore have same chemical properties. Hence, there would be more possible elements having same chemical properties in the same vertical column (group) as Bromine.

Four electrons are located at the corners of a square 10.0 nm on a side, with an alpha particle at its midpoint. How much work i

Elis [28]

Four electrons are placed at the corner of a square

So we will first find the electrostatic potential at the center of the square

So here it is given as

$V = 4\frac{kQ}{r}$

here

r = distance of corner of the square from it center

$r = \frac{a}{\sqrt2}$

$r = \frac{10nm}{\sqrt2} = 7.07 nm$

$Q = e = -1.6 * 10^{-19} C$

now the net potential is given as

$V = \frac{4 * 9*10^9 * (-1.6 * 10^{-19})}{7.07 * 10^{-9}}$

$V = 0.815 V$

now potential energy of alpha particle at this position

$U_i = qV = 2*1.6 * 10^{-19} * (-0.815) = -2.6 * 10^{-19} J$

Now at the mid point of one of the side

Electrostatic potential is given as

$V = 2\frac{kQ}{r_1} + 2\frac{kQ}{r_2}$

here we know that

$r_1 = \frac{a}{2} = 5 nm$

$r_2 = \sqrt{(a/2)^2 + a^2} = \frac{\sqrt5 a}{2}$

$r_2 = 11.2 nm$

now potential is given as

$V = 2\frac{9 * 10^9 * (-1.6 * 10^{-19})}{5 * 10^{-9}} + 2\frac{9*10^9 * (-1.6 * 10^{-19})}{11.2 * 10^{-9}}$

$V = -0.576 - 0.257 = -0.833 V$

now final potential energy is given as

$U_f = q*V = 2*1.6 * 10^{-19}* (-0.833) = -2.67 * 10^{-19} J$

Now work done in this process is given as

$W = U_f - U_i$

$W = (-0.267 * 10^{-19}) - (-0.26 * 10^{-19}}$

$W = -7 * 10^{-22} J$

What is Otter's average velocity over his entire trip when it takes him 2 minutes to walk 100 meters north and another 1 minute

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

0.50m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity is the change in displacement of a body with respect to time.

Velocity = ∆S/∆t

∆S = 100m - 70m

∆S = 30m

∆t = 2min - 1 min

∆t = 1min = 60secs

Substitute the given parameters into the formula for velocity

Velocity = 30m/60s

Velocity = 1/2 m/s

Average Velocity = 0.5m/s

Springfield's "classic rock" radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 102.1 mhz. what is the length of the radio wave in meter

Mila [183]

The frequency of the radio wave is:
$f=102.1 MHz = 102.1 \cdot 10^6 Hz$

The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is related to its frequency by the relationship
$\lambda= \frac{c}{f}$
where c is the speed of light and f the frequency. Plugging numbers into the equation, we find
$\lambda= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{102.1 \cdot 10^6 Hz}= 2.94 m$
and this is the wavelength of the radio waves in the problem.
