There's no such thing as an "average marathon".  The marathon run is a world athletic sport in which records are kept, and every marathon is the same distance.  The official distance of The Marathon is  42.195 km. 

Time = (distance covered) / (average speed).

Time = (42.195 km) / (2.57 m/s) = 16,418.29 seconds

                                                   =  4hrs 33min 38.29 sec

Note:
With no information given regarding the direction of any part of the
course, the solution must proceed in terms of speed, not velocity.
The question is written as if 'velocity' were a more formal, technical
word for 'speed', but such is not the case.  They are two different
things.

A foot race is a very awkward place to attempt a discussion in terms
of velocity. On a typical marathon course, the starting line and finish line
are in the same place.  Where that is true, the displacement of a runner
who completes the course is zero, and his average velocity is also zero.

Why are noise considerations important in optical fiber communications? 3. Describe the principle of "population inversion".
pochemuha

Answer and Explanation:

the electronic devices always have some noises present in the signal

there are some important considerations in optical fiber communications these are.

  • the noise which is contributed by transmitter are electronic random noise, low frequency noise
  • noise which is contributed by laser are relative intensity noise, mode partition noise, conversion of phase noise to amplitude noise.
  • noise contributed by photo detector are quantum shot noise, shot noise from dark current, avalanche multiplication noise.

PRINCIPLE OF POPULATION INVERSION :

The principle of population inversion is defined as for production of high percentage of simulated emission for a laser beam the number of atoms in higher state should be greater than lower energy state

A box has a mass of 35kg.he pulls the rope horizontally with a force of 175 N. Find the horizontal acceleration of the box as it
Cloud [144]

Answer:

3.43 m/s^2

Explanation:

Force is equal to mass times acceleration. (F=ma). You can use inverse operations to get the formula for acceleration, which is acceleration is equal to force divided by mass. (a=F/m). Since there are two forces here, the force friction (55 N), and the force applied (175 N), we must solve for the net force. To solve for the net force, you take the applied force (175 N) and subtract the frictional force from it (55 N). Thus, the net force is 120 N. With this done, we can now solve for our acceleration.

Using the equation for acceleration, we take the force and divide it by mass.

120/35

Answer: 3.43* m/s^2**

*Note: This is rounded to the nearest hundredth, the full answer is: 3.42857143

**Note: In case you're confused, this is meters per second squared.
