Avector has an x-component of length 10 and a y-component of length 3. what is the angle of the vector? (hint: use the inverse tangent.)

Which of the following statements are true of solids? a. the particles do not vibrate. b. the particles are in a fixed location. c. they have strong intermolecular forces between the atoms or molecules. d. the particles have less kinetic energy than those of liquids or gases.

Glass is transparent to visibile light under normal conditions; however, at extremely high intensities, glass will absorb most of the light incident upon it. this works through a process known as multiphoton absorption. in this process, several photons are absorbed at the same time. if very intense light whose photons carry 2ev of energy is shined onto a material with a band gap of 4ev, that light can be absorbed through two-photon absorption, because two photons have the right amount of energy to bridge the band gap. what is the minimum number of photons of 800-nm light that are needed to equal or exceed the band gap of fused silica glass

At an oceanside nuclear power plant, seawater is used as part of the cooling system. this raises the temperature of the water that is discharged back into the ocean. the amount that the water temperature is raised has a uniform distribution over the interval from 10° to 25° c. what is the standard deviation of the temperature increase?
