How is potential energy converted to thermal energy in a system?

Aboat radioed a distress call to a coast guard station. at the time of the call, a vector a from the station to the boat had a magnitude of 45.0 km and was directed 15.0° east of north. a vector from the station to the point where the boat was later found is = 30.0 km, 15.0° north of east. what are the components of the vector from the point where the distress call was made to point where the boat was found? in other words, what are the components of vector c = b - a?

When electrons are added to the outermost shell of a carbon atom, it forms--an anion that has a larger anion that has a smaller cation that has a larger cation that has a smaller radius.

As microwave light travels through a liquid, it moves at a speed of 2.2 x 108 m/s. if the frequency of this light wave is 1.1 x 108 hz, what is the wavelength of this microwave?
