A truck is traveling east at 80 km/h. At an intersection 32 km ahead, a car is traveling north at 50 km/h. How long after this m

nirvana33 [79]

The time elapsed when the vehicles are closest to each other is 20 min.

The given parameters:

Speed of the truck, u = 80 km/h
Distance, d = 32 km
Speed of the car, v = 50 km/h

<h3>Principles of relative speed</h3>

The time elapsed when the cars are close to each other is calculated by applying the principles of relative speed.

$(V_r) t = d\\\\V_r^2 = 50^2 + 80^2\\\\V_r =\sqrt{50^2 + 80^2} \\\\V_r = 94.34 \ km/h$

$94.34 t = 32\\\\t = \frac{32}{94.34} \\\\t = 0.34 \ hr\\\\t \approx 20 \min$

Thus, the time elapsed when the vehicles are closest to each other is 20 min.

Combine these three velocity vectors into a resultant: 3.0 m/s north, 4.0 m/s east 1.0 m/s west. Identify the resultant vector

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The resultant vector is 1 m/s

Explanation:

The resultant vector is 1 m/s west based on triangle law of vector addition, when two sides of a triangle is represented by two vectors, the resultant vector is the third side of the triangle.

Determine the speed, wavelength, and frequency of light from a helium-neon laser as it travels through polystyrene. The waveleng

klemol [59]

Answer:

Speed:

$2.01x10^{8}m/s$

Wavelength:

$4.24x10^{-7}m$

Frequency:

$4.74x10^{14}Hz$

Explanation:

The speed of the laser as it travels through polystyrene can be determine by means of the equation of the refraction index:

$n = \frac{c}{v}$ (1)

Where c is the speed of light and v is the speed of the laser in the medium.

Therefore, v will be isolated from equation 1

$v = \frac{c}{n}$

$v = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{1.490}$

$v = 2.01x10^{8}m/s$

Hence, the speed of the laser has a value of $2.01x10^{8}m/s$

Frenquency:

Since, wavelength is the only one who depends on the media. Therefore the frequency in both medium will be the same.

To determine the frequency it can be used the following equation

$c = \nu \cdot \lambda$ (2)

Where c is the speed of light, $\nu$ is the frequency and $\lambda$ is the wavelength

Then, $\nu$ wil be isolated from equation 2.

$\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda}$ (3)

Before using equation 3 it is necessary to express $\lamba$ in units of meters.

$\lambda = 632.8nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9}nm}$ ⇒ $6.328x10^{-7}m$

$\nu = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{6.328x10^{-7}m}$

$\nu = 4.74x10^{14}s^{-1}$

$\nu = 4.74x10^{14}Hz$

Hence, the frequency of the laser has a value of $4.74x10^{14}Hz$

Wavelength:

To determine the wavelength it can be used:

$v = \nu \cdot \lambda$

$\lambda = \frac{v}{\nu}$

Where v is the speed of the laser through the polystyrene.

$\lambda = \frac{2.01x10^{8}m/s}{4.74x10^{14}s^{-1}}$

$\lambda = 4.24x10^{-7}m$

Hence, the wavelength of the laser has a value of $4.24x10^{-7}m$
