A jogger runs 5.0 km on a straight trail at an angle of 60° south of west. What is the southern component of the run rounded to

the nearest tenth of a kilometer?

Without rounding off, the answer is -4.33. Since, the southern component of the run of the jogger should be rounded to the nearest tenth of a kilometer, then the answer is -4.3. The answer is negative because it is going south.

The southern component of the jogger's path is given by:

$S_y = S \sin \theta$

where

$S=5.0 km$ is the total distance of the jogger's run

$\theta=60^{\circ}$ is the angle with respect to the horizontal direction

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

$S_y=(5.0 km)\sin (60^{\circ})=4.33 km$

and the direction is south.

If you pair copper which has an electron affinity of 0.34 and silver which has an electron affinity of 0.80, will you make a str

Alex787 [66]

<u>Answer</u>:

pairing of the copper which has an electron affinity of 0.34 and the silver which has an electron affinity of 0.80 makes a strong battery.

<u>Explanation</u>:

All the Batteries of this world are made with two metals having different-different electron affinities. What do the phrase “electrons affinities ” mean and how do these affinities affect the voltage of the batteries?

The Electron affinities are the energy change that occurs when electrons are added to atoms. The greater the attraction of the atoms to the electrons the more energy would released. If an atom has high electron affinity, the electron will be harder to gain The greater is the difference in metal affinities, the greater the voltage. That means, if you pair Coppers with Silver, the difference between their electron affinities would be (0.80-0.34) or, 0.46 and You can make a strong battery.

You set a tuning fork into vibration at a frequency of 723 Hz and then drop it off the roof of the Physics building where the ac

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Original Frequency $f=723\ Hz$

apparent Frequency $f'=697\ Hz$

There is change in frequency whenever source move relative to the observer.

From Doppler effect we can write as

$f'=f\cdot \frac{v-v_o}{v+v_s}$

where

$f'=$ apparent frequency

v=velocity of sound in the given media

$v_s=$ velocity of source

$v_0=$ velocity of observer

here $v_0=0$

$697=723\cdot (\frac{343-0}{343+v_s})$

$v_s=(\frac{f}{f'}-1)v$

$v_s=(\frac{723}{697}-1)\cdot 343$

$v_s=12.79\approx 12.8\ m/s$

i.e.fork acquired a velocity of $12.8 m/s$

distance traveled by fork is given by

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

$v_s^2-0=2\times 9.8\times s$

$s=\frac{12.8^2}{2\times 9.8}$

$s=8.35\ m$

Several charges in the neighborhood of point P produce an electric potential of 6.0 kV (relative to zero at infinity) and an ele

Julli [10]

Answer:

0.018 J

Explanation:

The work done to bring the charge from infinity to point P is equal to the change in electric potential energy of the charge - so it is given by

$W = q \Delta V$

where

$q=3.0 \mu C = 3.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C$ is the magnitude of the charge

$\Delta V = 6.0 kV = 6000 V$ is the potential difference between point P and infinity

Substituting into the equation, we find

$W=(3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C)(6000 V)=0.018 J$
