Answer:
a. 313.171081 miles/hour
b. 0.434m

To calculate the speed in miles per hour, you need to change meterinto miles (1m= 0.086992mile) , then second into hour(1s= 1/3600h). The calculation would be:
140 m/s x 0.086992mile/m : 1/3600 s/hour= 313.171081 miles/hour.

To calculate the next question you need to know that mili second= 1/1000 second. Then the calculation would be:
140m/s x 3.1ms x 1/1000= 0.434m

The critical angle between a medium and air is 430. What is the speed of light in that medium?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.

Explanation:

since the critical angle is Фc = 430, we know that the refractive index is given by:

n = 1/sin(Фc)

  = 1/sin(430)

  = 1.06

then if n is the refractive index of the medium and c is the speed of light, then the speed of light in the medium is given by:

v = c/n

  = (3×10^8)/(1.06)

  = 281907786.2 m/s

Therefore, the speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.

Calculate the root mean square velocity of nitrogen molecules at 25 C.
iragen [17]
 root mean square<span>= square root of ( 3RT/M) 

 R = 8.314 J/K/mole 
T = 25 + 273 = 298 K 
M = molecular mas of N2 in kg = 28 X 10^-3 kg 

put values... 

</span><span> root mean square</span> = square root of ( 3 X 8.314 X 298/28 X 10^-3)
= square root of ( 265454.143)
= 515.2 m/s
so option A is right
hope this helps

A person can jump a maximum horizontal distance (by using a 45◦ projectile angle) of 5 m on Earth. The acceleration of gravity i
snow_lady [41]

Answer:30 m

Explanation:

Given

Maximum Horizontal distance is 5 m on earth

launching angle=45^{\circ}

Acceleration due to gravity on earth is 9.8 m/s^2

Acceleration due to gravity on moon is \frac{9.8}{6}=1.63 m/s^2

Range of projectile is given by

R=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}

R_{earth}=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}=5----1

R_{moon}=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{\frac{g}{6}}-----2

Divide 1 & 2

\frac{5}{R_{moon}}=\frac{1}{6}

R_{moon}=30 m

If we start with 48 g of a radioactive substance with a 2 hour 12 life, how much is left after two half-lives?
ivolga24 [154]

Explanation:

 Half-life is the time taken for a radioactive material to decay to half its original composition:

   Original mass = 48g

   Half- life  = 2hr

 

 After four half lives;

           Initially:                48g

    First halving                24

    Second halving          12

    Third halving               6

    Fourth halving             3

After second half life, we would have 12g

At fourth halving, we would have 3g
