Speed is a scalar quantity which only has magnitude but lack of direction. Speed is the distance that an object travels divided by the time it takes. Therefore we can mathematically express as:

$\displaystyle v=\dfrac{s}{t}$

Where v is speed, s is distance and t is time. From the problem, we are given the distance equal 900 meters and time it takes is 10.2 seconds. Therefore substitute s = 900 meters and t = 10.2 seconds.

$\displaystyle{v=\dfrac{900 \ \, \sf{meters}}{10.2 \ \, \sf{seconds}}}\\\\\displaystyle{v=88.24 \ \, \sf{m/s}}$

Therefore, the speed of rocket is 88.24 m/s or 90 m/s when rounding to one significant figure.

A certain nuclear power plant is capable of producing 1.2×10^9 W of electric power. During operation of the reactor, mass is con

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

0.00016 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Power = P = 1.2 × 10⁹ Watts

Power = work done / Time

efficiency = 0.30

Input power = 1.2 × 10⁹ / 0.30 = 4 × 10⁹ W

Energy = 4 × 10⁹ x 60 x 60 = 1.44 x 10¹³ joules

E = m c² , where c is the speed of light and m is the mass.

⇒ mass = m = E / c² = (1.44 x 10¹³) / (3 × 10⁸ )²

= 0.00016 kg

Infrared waves from the sun are what make our skin feel warm on a sunny day. If an infrared wave has a frequency of 3.0 x 1012 H

djyliett [7]

Answer:

The wavelength of the infrared wave is <u>0.0001 m</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency of an infrared wave is, $f=3.0\times 10^{12}\ Hz$

We know that, infrared waves are electromagnetic waves. All electromagnetic waves travel with the same speed and their magnitude is equal to the speed of light in air.

So, speed of infrared waves coming from the Sun travels with the speed of light and thus its magnitude is given as:

$v=c=3.0\times 10^8\ m/s$

Where, 'v' is the speed of infrared waves and 'c' is the speed of light.

Now, we have a formula for the speed of any wave and is given as:

$v=f\lambda$

Where, $\lambda \to \textrm{Wavelength of infrared wave}$

Now, rewriting the above formula in terms of wavelength, $\lambda$ , we get:

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}$

Now, plug in $3.0\times 10^8$ for 'v', $3.0\times 10^{12}$ for 'f' and solve for $\lambda$ . This gives,

$\lambda=\frac{3.0\times 10^8}{3.0\times 10^{12}}\\\\\lambda=0.0001\ m$

Therefore, the wavelength of the infrared wave is 0.0001 m.

Are all liquids able to conduct an electric current

Alona [7]

The ions are able to carry electric current through a solution. Some liquids such as oil or alcohol do not form ions and do not conduct electricity. Vinegar is mostly water with a small amount of acetic acid in it. The acetic acid separates into ions on so that the solution conducts electricity. BRAINLIST ME PEASE
