Answer:

total time = 65 seconds

total distance = 1554 meters

Explanation:

kinematic equation:

final velocity = initial velocity + acceleration multiplied by time

v_1 = v_0 + at

28 m/s = 0 m/s + 2 m/s^2 (t)

t = 14 seconds

a) total time = 14 + 46 + 5 = 65 seconds

b) must solve for total distance and divide it by time.

d_1 = v_0t + 1/2 a * t^2

d_1 = 0 + 0.5(2) * 14^2

d_1 = 196 meters

d2 = vt

d2 = 28 *46

d2 = 1288 meters

v_1 = v_o + at

0 = 28 + a(5)

- 28/5 = a

a = - 5.6 m/s^2

d_3 = v_0t + 1/2 a * t^2

d_3 = 28 (5) - 0.5(5.6)*5^2

d_3 = 70 meters

total distance = d1 + d2 + d3 = 196 + 1288 + 70 = 1554 meters

A roadrunner at rest suddenly spots a rattlesnake slithering directly away at a constant speed of 0.75 m/s. At the moment the sn

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The roadrunner will take approximately 5.285 seconds to catch up to the rattlesnake.

Explanation:

From the statement we notice that:

1) Rattlesnake moves a constant speed ( $v_{S} = 0.75\,\frac{m}{s}$ ), whereas the roadrunner accelerates uniformly from rest. ( $v_{o, R} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $a = 1\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ )

2) Initial distance between the roadrunner and rattlesnake is 10 meters. ( $x_{o, R} = 0\,m$ , $x_{o,S} = 10\,m$ )

3) The roadrunner catches up to the snake at the end. ( $x_{S} = x_{R}$ )

Now we construct kinematic expression for each animal:

Rattlesnake

$x_{S} = x_{o,S}+v_{S}\cdot t$

Where:

$x_{o, S}$ - Initial position of the rattlesnake, measured in meters.

$x_{S}$ - Final position of the rattlesnake, measured in meters.

$v_{S}$ - Speed of the rattlesnake, measured in meters per second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

Roadrunner

$x_{R} = x_{o,R} +v_{o,R}\cdot t +\frac{1}{2}\cdot a\cdot t^{2}$

Where:

$x_{o, R}$ - Initial position of the roadrunner, measured in meters.

$x_{R}$ - Final position of the roadrunner, measured in meters.

$v_{o,R}$ - Initial speed of the roadrunner, measured in meters per second.

$a$ - Acceleration of the roadrunner, measured in meters per square second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

By eliminating the final positions of both creatures, we get the resulting quadratic function:

$x_{o,S}+v_{S}\cdot t = x_{o,R}+v_{o,R}\cdot t +\frac{1}{2}\cdot a \cdot t^{2}$

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot a \cdot t^{2} + (v_{o,R}-v_{S})\cdot t + (x_{o,R}-x_{o,S}) = 0$

If we know that $a = 1\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $v_{o, R} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $v_{S} = 0.75\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $x_{o, R} = 0\,m$ and $x_{o,S} = 10\,m$ , the resulting expression is:

$0.5\cdot t^{2}-0.75\cdot t -10=0$

We can find its root via Quadratic Formula:

$t_{1,2} = \frac{-(-0.75)\pm \sqrt{(-0.75)^{2}-4\cdot (0.5)\cdot (-10)}}{2\cdot (0.5)}$

$t_{1,2} = \frac{3}{4}\pm \frac{\sqrt{329}}{4}$

Roots are $t_{1} \approx 5.285\,s$ and $t_{2}\approx -3.785\,s$ , respectively. Both are valid mathematically, but only the first one is valid physically. Hence, the roadrunner will take approximately 5.285 seconds to catch up to the rattlesnake.

Green light (λ = 518 nm) strikes a single slit at normal incidence. What width slit will produce a central maximum that is 3.00

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

6.9066 × 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

For constructive interference, the expression is:

$d\times sin\theta=m\times \lambda$

Where, m = 1, 2, .....

d is the distance between the slits.

The formula can be written as:

$sin\theta=\frac {\lambda}{d}\times m$ ....1

The location of the bright fringe is determined by :

$y=L\times tan\theta$

Where, L is the distance between the slit and the screen.

For small angle , $sin\theta=tan\theta$

So,

Formula becomes:

$y=L\times sin\theta$

Using 1, we get:

$y=L\times \frac {\lambda}{d}\times m$

Thus, the distance between the central maximum is 3.00 cm

First bright fringe , m = 1 occur at 3.00 / 2 = 1.50 cm

Since,

1 cm = 0.01 m

y = 0.0150 m

Given L = 2.00 m

λ = 518 nm

Since, 1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

So,

λ = 518 × 10⁻⁹ m

Applying the formula as:

$0.0150\ m=2.00\ m\times \frac {518\times 10^{-9}\ m}{d}\times 1$

<u>⇒ d, distance between the slits = 6.9066 × 10⁻⁵ m</u>
