The distance traveled by the sprinter in meters is determined as 1.88 m.

<h3>Acceleration of the sprinter</h3>

The acceleration of the sprinter is the rate of change of velocity of the sprinter with time.

The acceleration of the sprinter is calculated as follows;

Apply Newton's second law of motion as follows;

F = ma

a = F/m

where;

  • F is the applied force by the sprinter
  • m is mass of the sprinter
  • a is acceleration of the sprinter

a = 693 N / 64 kg

a = 10.83 m/s²

<h3>Distance traveled by the sprinter</h3>

The distance traveled by the sprinter is calculated as follows;

s = ut + ¹/₂at²

where;

  • u is initial velocity = 0

s = ¹/₂at²

where;

  • t is time of motion
  • a is acceleration

s = (0.5)(10.83)(0.59²)

s = 1.88 m

Thus, the distance traveled by the sprinter in meters is determined as 1.88 m.

An object is placed in front of a convex mirror with a radius of curvature of magnitude 10 cm. The mirror produces an image that
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

u = - 20 cm

m =\frac{1}{5}

Given:

Radius of curvature, R = 10 cm

image distance, v = 4 cm

Solution:

Focal length of the convex mirror, f:

f = \frac{R}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5 cm

Using Lens' maker formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}

Substitute the given values in the above formula:

\frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{4}

\frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{4}

u = - 20 cm

where

u = object distance

Now, magnification is the ratio of image distance to the object distance:

magnification, m =\frac{|v|}{|u|}

magnification, m =\frac{|4|}{|-20|}

m =\frac{4}{20}

m =\frac{1}{5}

Which letters represent constructive interference in this diffraction pattern? Check all that apply.
trasher [3.6K]

Answer: A, C and D

Explanation:

Interference occurs when two waves superimpose to form a wave having a smaller or larger amplitude.

Constructive interference is said to occur when two waves superimpose to produce a wave having larger amplitude. It occurs for the waves having phase difference of multiple of 2π. On the other hand, destructive interference occurs for the waves having phase difference  π, 3π, ..and so on.

In the given picture, the bright regions represent constructive interference where as the dark ones between them represent destructive interference. Thus, the correct letters representing constructive interference are: A, C and D.

A space traveller leaves Earth for 10 years at .85c. According to an observer on Earth, how much time has passed?
eduard
First of all, you didn't tell us WHO measured the "10 years".

If it was the people on Earth, then 10 years passed according to them.

If it was 10 years on the space traveler's clock,  then the clock in the
OTHER place, like on Earth, is subject to the relativistic 'time dilation'.

If the clocks are moving relative to each other, then the time interval measured
on either clock is equal to the interval measured on the other clock, divided by

       √(1 - v²/c²) .

You said that  v/c  = 0.85 .

v²/c² = (0.85)² = 0.7225

1 - v²/c² =  1 - 0.7225 = 0.2775

√(1 - v²/c²)  =  √0.2775 = 0.5268

If one clock counts up 10 years, then the other one counts up

(10years) / 0.5268 =  <em>18.983 years </em>


I believe that's the way to do this, and I'll gladly take your points,
but let me recommend that you get a second opinion before you
actually take off on your 10-year interstellar mission.
