After 5 seconds, the person would have travel 75 m

<h3>What is acceleration? </h3>

This is defined as the rate of change of velocity which time. It is expressed as

a = (v – u) / t

Where

  • a is the acceleration
  • v is the final velocity
  • u is the initial velocity
  • t is the time

<h3>How to determine the final velocity</h3>

We'll begin by obtaining the final velocity of the person. This can be obtained as follow:

  • Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s
  • Acceleration (a) = 2 m/s²
  • Time (t) = 5 s
  • Final velocity (v) = ?

a = (v – u) / t

2 = (v – 10) / 5

Cross multiply

v – 10 = 2 × 5

v – 10 = 10

Collect like terms

v = 10 + 10

v = 20 m/s

<h3>How to determine the distance travelled</h3>

The distance travelled can be obtained as follow:

  • Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 20 m/s
  • Acceleration (a) = 2 m/s²
  • Distance (s) = ?

v² = u² + 2as

Collect like terms

2as = v² - u²

Divide both sides by 2a

s = (v² - u²) / 2a

s = (20² - 10²) / (2 × 2)

s = 75 m

Thus, the distance travelled by the person is 75 m

Big bang theorists believe that the universe is expanding and will eventually contract.
Zina [86]

The statement ‘Big bang theorists believe that the universe is expanding and will eventually contract’ is false. The answer is letter B. The big bang theory suggests that the origin of the universe began with that exploded and expanded. It also states that the universe began in a single form of high condensed reactive matter and exploded forming the galaxies, planets, stars and other celestial bodies.

If the Earth and distant stars were stationary (motionless) in space, what would we observe about the wavelength from these star
torisob [31]
There's no such thing as "stationary in space".  But if the distance
between the Earth and some stars is not changing, then (A) w<span>avelengths
measured here would match the actual wavelengths emitted from these
stars. </span><span>

</span><span>If a star is moving toward us in space, then (A) Wavelengths measured
would be shorter than the actual wavelengths emitted from that star.

</span>In order to decide what's actually happening, and how that star is moving, 
the trick is:  How do we know the actual wavelengths the star emitted ?

You are comparing two diffraction gratings using two different lasers: a green laser and a red laser. You do these two experimen
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

a. (a) grating A has more lines/mm; (b) the first maximum less than 1 meter away from the center

Explanation:

Let  n₁ and n₂ be no of lines per unit length  of grating A and B respectively.

λ₁ and λ₂ be wave lengths of green and red respectively , D be distance of screen and d₁ and d₂ be distance between two slits of grating A and B ,

Distance of first maxima for green light

= λ₁ D/ d₁

Distance of first maxima for red light

= λ₂ D/ d₂

Given that

λ₁ D/ d₁ = λ₂ D/ d₂

λ₁ / d₁ = λ₂ / d₂

λ₁ / λ₂  = d₁ / d₂

But

λ₁  <  λ₂

d₁ < d₂

Therefore no of lines per unit length of grating A will be more because

no of lines per unit length  ∝ 1 / d

If grating B is illuminated with green light first maxima will be at distance

λ₁ D/ d₂

As λ₁ < λ₂

λ₁ D/ d₂ < λ₂ D/ d₂

λ₁ D/ d₂ < 1 m

In this case position of first maxima will be less than 1 meter.

Option a is correct .
