How long (in ns) does it take light to travel 1.0 m in vacuum?

1 answer:

6 0

If light travels 290,000,000 meters in 1 second, simply divide 1 second by 290,000,000 to find the time it takes to travel 1 meter.

1 / 290,000,000 = 0.000000003448 seconds (<em>or 3.5 nano seconds</em>)

A wheel accelerates from rest to 34.7 rad/s at a rate of 47.0 rad/s^2. Through what angle (in radians) did the wheel turn while

dem82 [27]

12.8 rad

Explanation:

The angular displacement $\theta$ through which the wheel turned can be determined from the equation below:

$\omega^2 = \omega_0^2 + 2\alpha\theta$ (1)

where

$\omega_0 = 0$

$\omega = 34.7\:\text{rad/s}$

$\alpha = 47.0\:\text{rad/s}^2$

Using these values, we can solve for $\theta$ from Eqn(1) as follows:

$2\alpha\theta = \omega^2 - \omega_0^2$

$\theta = \dfrac{\omega^2 - \omega_0^2}{2\alpha}$

$\:\:\:\:= \dfrac{(34.7\:\text{rad/s})^2 - 0}{2(47.0\:\text{rad/s}^2)}$

$\:\:\:\:= 12.8\:\text{rad}$

Assume an axon has an internal diameter of 1μm and a myelin sheath 1μm thick. The internal specific resistance is 100 Ω cm. For

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

$1.27\times 10^{12}\Omega/m$

Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter=d= $\mu m$

Thickness= $1\mu m$

Radius= $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\mu m=0.5\times 10^{-6} m$

Using $1\mu m=10^{-6} m$

Dielectric constant=8

Resistance = $R=2\times 10^5\Omega cm^2$

Internal specific resistance=r=100 ohm cm= $100\times \frac{1}{100}\Omega-m=1\Omega m$

Using 1 m=100 cm

Internal resistance per unit length= $\frac{r}{A}=\frac{1}{\pi r^2}=\frac{1}{3.14\times (0.5\times 10^{-6})^2}=1.27\times 10^{12}\Omega/m$

Using $\pi=3.14$

Internal resistance per unit length= $1.27\times 10^{12}\Omega/m$

A basketball leaves a player's hands at a height of 2.00 m above the floor. The basket is 3.05 m above the floor. The player lik

shutvik [7]

Answer:(10.69, 11.436)

Explanation:

Given

initial height of ball is 2 m

height of basket is 3.05 m

Launching angle $=40^{\circ}$

$x =12\pm 0.27$

y=1.05

equation of trajectory of ball is given by

$y=xtan\theta -\frac{gx^2}{2u^2cos^2\theta }$

for x=12.27

$1.05=12.27\times tan40-\frac{g12.27^2}{2u^2cos^{2}40 }$

u=10.69

for x=11.73

$1.05=11.73\times tan40-\frac{g11.73^2}{2u^2cos^{2}40 }$

u=11.436 m/s

Thus range of speed is (10.69, 11.436)

An 80-kilogram skier slides on waxed skis along a horizontal surface of snow at constant velocity while pushing with his poles.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The force F is created by the reaction of the Earth to the thrust of the rods, whereby the thrust is created by a force of action and reaction.

Explanation:

To answer this question, let's write Newton's second law of the two axes

Y Axis

Fy + N - W = 0

Fy + N = W

X axis

Fx - fr = 0

Fx = fr

The force F is created by the reaction of the Earth to the thrust of the rods, whereby the thrust is created by a force of action and reaction.

The direction of this force is along the length of the rods that are in an Angle, where the x and y components of the force come from

In general this force is small because the rubbing of the skis is small
