Reading the graph, you get 300 km in 4 hours.

Givens

d = 300 km
t = 4 hours

Formula

v = d/t

Solution

v = 300/4 = 75 km/hour which is the slope.

Comment

Any point that you can read accurately will give you the same answer. Since the point are not that readable, you can estimate one of them

Try

t = 6 hours

d = 450 km An estimate. It looks to be 1/2 way between 400 and 500 km when t = 6 hours.

v = ??

v = 450/6

v = 75 miles / hour << Answer

A helium-neon laser emits light of wavelength 632.8 nm and has a power output of 16 mw. how many photons are emitted per second

NemiM [27]

The power of the laser is
$P=16 mW=0.016 W$
by using the relationship between power, energy and time, we can find the energy delivered by the laser in 1 second:
$E=Pt=(0.016 W)(1 s)=0.016 J$

The frequency of the photons of this light is given by
$f= \frac{c}{\lambda}= \frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{632.8 \cdot 10^{-9} m} =4.74 \cdot 10^{14} Hz$
and the energy of a single photon is
$E_1=hf=(6.6\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(4.74 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=3.13 \cdot 10^{-19} J$

In order to find the number of photons emitted per second, we must divide the total energy emitted by the laser by the energy of a single photon, and we get:
$N= \frac{E}{E_1}= \frac{0.016 J}{3.13 \cdot 10^{-19}J} =5.11 \cdot 10^{16} photons$

What happens is a series circuit when you increase the number of bulbs?

Volgvan

The bulbs will produce lesser light than their capacity, In short they will be dimmer because the the energy will get divided in the number of bulbs.

A baseball is thrown by the center fielder (from shoulder level) to home plate where it is caught (on the fly at eye level) by t

marishachu [46]

At the highest point of the trajectory the vertical component will have its zero velocity, and the descent caused by the force of gravity will begin.

Since the ball is thrown with a certain speed, the vertical component reaches its highest point (upwards), until returning to the receiver who will receive the ball with the same vertical component but in the opposite direction (downwards).

Therefore the vertical component will have its highest value at launch.
