-- Light travels straight, not around in a circle. But if it did, it would cover
a distance equal to the length of the equator in about <em>0.13 second</em>.
-- At the speed of sound (in air at standard temperature and pressure),
it would take about <em>32.6 hours </em>to cover the same distance.
Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.
Hi there! :)
Use the following kinematic equation to solve for the final velocity:
In this instance, the runner started from rest, so the initial velocity is 0 m/s. We can rewrite the equation as:
Plug in the given acceleration and time:
Answer:
7.644 feet
Explanation:
Free fall means that an object is falling freely with no forces acting upon it except gravity, a defined constant, g = -9.8 m/s2. The distance the object falls, or height, h, is 1/2 gravity x the square of the time falling.
