Answer:

F = 2.01*10^-16N -^k

Explanation:

In order to calculate the magnetic force perceived by the bee, you use the following formula:

F=qv\ X\ B            (1)

q: charge of the bee = 1pC = 1*10^-12 C

The average speed of a bee and the magnetic field of the earth are:

v = 6.70m/s

B = 30*10^-6 T

The bee is flying to the west (-^i). You consider that the magnetic field direction is to the north (^j). Then, the direction of the magnetic force is:

-^i X ^j = -^k

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1), in order to calculate the magnitude of the force:

|F|=qvB=(1*10^{-12}C)(6.70m/s)(30*10^{-6}T)=2.01*10^{-16}N

The magnetic force perceived by the bee is 2.01*10^-16N in the -^k direction, that is, toward the ground

A radioactive substance decays exponentially. A scientist begins with 200 milligrams of a radioactive substance. After 17 hours,
lianna [129]

75.17 mg of the radioactive substance will remain after 24 hours.

Answer:

Explanation:

Any radioactive substance will obey the exponential decay behavior. So according to this behavior, any radioactive substance will be decaying in terms of exponential form of disintegration constant and Time.

Disintegration constant is the rate of decay of radioactive elements. It can be measured using the half life time of the radioactive element .While half life time is the time taken by any radioactive element to decay half of its concentration. Like in this case, at first the scientist took 200 mg then after 17 hours, it got reduced to 100 g. So the half life time of this element is 17 hours.

Then Disintegration constant = 0.6932/Half Life time

Disintegration constant = 0.6932/17=0.041

Then as per the law of disintegration constant:

N = N_{0}e^{-xt}

Here N is the amount of radioactive element remaining at time t and N_{0} is the initial amount of sample, x is the disintegration constant.

So here, N_{0} = 200 mg, x = 0.041 and t = 24 hrs.

N = 200 ×e^{-24*0.041} =75.17 mg.

So 75.17 mg of the radioactive substance will remain after 24 hours.

You are working as an assistant to an air-traffic controller at the local airport, from which small airplanes take off and land.
Alika [10]

Answer:

d = 2021.6 km

Explanation:

We can solve this distance exercise with vectors, the easiest method s to find the components of the position of each plane and then use the Pythagorean theorem to find distance between them

Airplane 1

Height   y₁ = 800m

Angle θ = 25°

           cos 25 = x / r

           sin 25 = z / r

           x₁ = r cos 20

           z₁ = r sin 25

          x₁ = 18 103 cos 25 = 16,314 103 m = 16314 m

          z₁ = 18 103 sin 25 = 7,607 103 m= 7607 m

2 plane

Height   y₂ = 1100 m

Angle θ = 20°

          x₂ = 20 103 cos 25 = 18.126 103 m = 18126 m

          z₂ = 20 103 without 25 = 8.452 103 m = 8452 m

The distance between the planes using the Pythagorean Theorem is

         d² = (x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)² + (z₂-z₁)²2

Let's calculate

        d² = (18126-16314)²  + (1100-800)² + (8452-7607)²

        d² = 3,283 106 +9 104 + 7,140 105

        d² = (328.3 + 9 + 71.40) 10⁴

        d = √(408.7 10⁴)

        d = 20,216 10² m

        d = 2021.6 km

A flashlight beam makes an angle of 60 degrees with the surface of the water before it enters the water. in the water what angle
alexira [117]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= 22°

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • According to Snell's law, the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant. The constant value is called the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first.
  • Therefore; Sin i/Sin r = η

In this case; Angle of incidence = 90° -60° =30°, angle of refraction =? and η = 1.33

Thus;

Sin 30 / Sin r = 1.33

Sin r = Sin 30°/1.33

       = 0.3759

r = Sin^-1 0.3759

   = 22.08

   <u>≈ 22°</u>

Hope you can answer this: A Student Visits A Farm And Makes These Notes In Her Journal.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Common Sense

Explanation:

The chick has probably seen other chicks get caught by the Hawk and knows not to go near, or saw a giant bird flying straight towards it and used common sense to identify it as danger and run away. Although if this is for a test or a grade or something, please do not use the answer, it is most likely incorrect. This is honestly my best answer.
