Answer:

A-2

B-1

Explanation:

Cylindrical projection is a type of map projection that projects the earth's surface on a cylindrical tangent. It is useful in projecting the equatorial region and the near-polar region but it gets distorted at the poles. This distortion occurs in terms of both the scale and the shape.

Planar projection is a type of map projection in which the three-dimensional earth's surface is projected on a flat surface. It is more efficient in mapping the polar regions. The North pole or the South Pole in this type of map are located at the center of the map.

Thus, the correct answers are being matched.

Alyssa is carrying a water balloon while running down a field at a speed of 14 m/s. She tosses the water balloon forward toward

Luda [366]

From Alyssa's point of view, the water balloon is at first at rest and then gets thrown with a velocity of 23m/s. Therefore the balloon will have a speed of 23m/s for Alyssa.

At the same time, Naya is watching, and she sees the balloon at the beginning moving at a speed of 14m/s along with Alyssa, and then pushed forward of other 23m/s. Therefore, from her point of view, the balloon will have a speed of 14+23 = 37m/s.

Hence, the correct answer is D) The speed of the balloon is 23 m/s for Alyssa and 37 m/s for Naya.

A trebuchet was a hurling machine built to attack the walls of a castle under siege. A large stone could be hurled against a wal

Studentka2010 [4]

(a) 18.9 m/s

The motion of the stone consists of two independent motions:

- A horizontal motion at constant speed

- A vertical motion with constant acceleration ( $g=9.8 m/s^2$ ) downward

We can calculate the components of the initial velocity of the stone as it is launched from the ground:

$u_x = v_0 cos \theta = (25.0)(cos 41.0^{\circ})=18.9 m/s\\u_y = v_0 sin \theta = (25.0)(sin 41.0^{\circ})=16.4 m/s$

The horizontal velocity remains constant, while the vertical velocity changes due to the acceleration along the vertical direction.

When the stone reaches the top of its parabolic path, the vertical velocity has became zero (because it is changing direction): so the speed of the stone is simply equal to the horizontal velocity, therefore

$v=18.9 m/s$

(b) 22.2 m/s

We can solve this part by analyzing the vertical motion only first. In fact, the vertical velocity at any height h during the motion is given by

$v_y^2 - u_y^2 = 2ah$ (1)

where

$u_y = 16.4 m/s$ is the initial vertical velocity

$v_y$ is the vertical velocity at height h

$a=g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity (negative because it is downward)

At the top of the parabolic path, $v_y = 0$ , so we can use the equation to find the maximum height

$h_{max} = \frac{-u_y^2}{2a}=\frac{-(16.4)^2}{2(-9.8)}=13.7 m$

So, at half of the maximum height,

$h = \frac{13.7}{2}=6.9 m$

And so we can use again eq(1) to find the vertical velocity at h = 6.9 m:

$v_y = \sqrt{u_y^2 + 2ah}=\sqrt{(16.4)^2+2(-9.8)(6.9)}=11.6 m/s$

And so, the speed of the stone at half of the maximum height is

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{18.9^2+11.6^2}=22.2 m/s$

(c) 17.4% faster

We said that the speed at the top of the trajectory (part a) is

$v_1 = 18.9 m/s$

while the speed at half of the maximum height (part b) is

$v_2 = 22.2 m/s$

So the difference is

$\Delta v = v_2 - v_2 = 22.2 - 18.9 = 3.3 m/s$

And so, in percentage,

$\frac{\Delta v}{v_1} \cdot 100 = \frac{3.3}{18.9}\cdot 100=17.4\%$

So, the stone in part (b) is moving 17.4% faster than in part (a).

A particular material has an index of refraction of 1.25. What percent of the speed of light in a vacuum is the speed of light i

beks73 [17]

Answer:

80% (Eighty percent)

Explanation:

The material has a refractive index (n) of 1.25

Speed of light in a vacuum (c) is 2.99792458 x 10⁸ m/s

We can find the speed of light in the material (v) using the relationship

n = c/v, similarly

v = c/n

therefore v = 2.99792458 x 10⁸ m/s ÷ (1.25) = 239 833 966 m/s

v = 239 833 966 m/s

Therefore the percentage of the speed of light in a vacuum that is the speed of light in the material can be calculated as

(v/c) × 100 = (1/n) × 100 = (1/1.25) × 100 = 0.8 × 100 = 80%

Therefore speed of light in the material (v) is eighty percent of the speed of light in the vacuum (c)

The human eye can respond to as little as 10^−18 J of light energy. For a wavelength at the peak of visual sensitivity, 550 nm,

Bumek [7]

The key equation is going to come from Mr Planck: E=h \nu

Where h is Plancks constant; and ν is the frequency. This equation gives you the energy per photon at a given frequency. Alas, you're given wavelength, but that's easy enough to convert to frequency given the following equation:

c= lambda / nu

where c is the speed of light; λ (lambda) is the wavelength; and ν is again frequency. As soon as you know the energy of a photon with a wavelength of 550nm, you should know how many photons you would require to accumulate 10^-18J. Be careful with your units.

Two sources emit beams of light of wavelength 550 nm. The light from source A has an intensity of 10 μW/m2, and the light from s

alexira [117]

Answer:

A) Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.

Explanation:

If we have two waves with the same wavelength, then their intensity is proportional to their power, or the energy per unit time.

We also know that the amount of photon present in an electromagnetic beam is proportional to the energy of the beam, hence the amount of beam per second is proportional to the power.

With these two facts, we can say that the intensity is a measure of the amount of photon per second in an electromagnetic beam. So we can say that beam B carries twice as more power than beam A, or Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.
