Show your work as you use the levi-civita tensor method for computing ax b for vectors ð-2á»ä± + á»2 + 2, and b-e1 + 2â¬2-2ẻ, . calculate lax bi and explain why the answer makes sense given that we showed in problem 1 of hw01 that the vectors a and b are perpendicular

Aplane flies directly between two cities, a and b, which are separated by . from a to b, the plane flies into a headwind. on the return trip from b to a, the wind velocity is unchanged. the trip from b to a takes less than the trip from a to b. what is the airspeed of the plane, assuming it is the same in both directions

Comedians like to joke that the reason we haven’t been visited by intelligent life from elsewhere in the universe is that aliens have been monitoring earth’s broadcasts of intellectually embarrassing tv programs, like gilligan’s island, fear factor, the jersey shore, and the jerry springer showand so consider us far too primitive to merit a visit. let’s check the assertion that aliens could have been receiving them. tv programs are broadcast at a frequency of about 100mhz with about 100kw of total power in 30frames per second, which emanatesroughly uniformly in all directions. assume that interstellar space transmits these broadcasts without attenuation. no matter how smart they are, aliens would require at least one photon per frame to interpret our signals. findthe number of photons per unit time per unit area reaching a receiver on a possible planet in the nearest star system, which is about 4 light-years away (a light-year is the distance light travels in a year). if aliens aimed a receiver or detector directly at earth, how big (in diameter) would it have to be to receive a photon per frame

Aspring has a natural length of 8 m. if a 12-n force is required to keep it stretched to a length of 10 m, how much work w is required to stretch it from 8 m to 16 m? (round your answer to two decimal places.)
