The winning time for a 500.0 mile circular race track was 3 hours and

lyudmila [28]

Explanation:

We have,

Distance traveled in a circular track is 500 miles

The winning time was 3 hours and 13 minutes. It means time is 3.217 hours.

The driver's average speed is given by total distance divided by total time taken. Its formula can be written as :

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500\ miles}{3.217\ h}\\\\v=155.42\ mph$

At the end of the race, the driver reaches the point form where he has started. It means the displacement of the driver is equal to 0. Hence, driver's average velocity is equal to 0.

Calculate the average linear momentum of a particle described by the following wavefunctions: (a) eikx, (b) cos kx, (c) e−ax2 ,

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

a) p=0, b) p=0, c) p= ∞

Explanation:

In quantum mechanics the moment operator is given by

p = - i h’ d φ / dx

h’= h / 2π

We apply this equation to the given wave functions

a) φ = $e^{ikx}$

.d φ dx = i k $e^{ikx}$

We replace

p = h’ k $e^{ikx}$

i i = -1

The exponential is a sine and cosine function, so its measured value is zero, so the average moment is zero

p = 0

b) φ = cos kx

p = h’ k sen kx

The average sine function is zero,

p = 0

c) φ = $e^{-ax^{2} }$

d φ / dx = -a 2x $e^{-ax^{2} }$

.p = i a g ’2x $e^{-ax^{2} }$

The average moment is

p = (p₂ + p₁) / 2

p = i a h ’(-∞ + ∞)

p = ∞

Answer:

-time it takes for the sled to come to a stop after launch of rocket = 7.244 s

-distance sled has travelled from its starting point by the time it finally comes to rest is = 234.8655 m

Explanation:

From the question, looking at the motion while accelerating, we have;

Initial velocity; u = 0 m/s

Acceleration; a = 13.5 m/s²

Time; t = 3.3 s

Let's use first equation of motion to find final velocity (v).

v = u + at

v = 0 + (13.5 × 3.3)

v = 44.55 m/s

In this forward direction, let's calculate the displacement(d1) using newton's 3rd equation of motion.

d1 = ut + ½at²

d1 = 0(3.3) + ½(13.5 × 3.3²)

d1 = 73.5075 m

Now, let's consider the motion while slowing down and our final velocity will be 0 m/s while initial velocity will now be 44.55 m/s while acceleration is 6.15 m/s².

Thus, from v = u + at, we can find the time it take for the sled to come to a stop.

Now, since it's coming to rest acceleration will be negative. Thus;

0 = 44.55 + (-6.15t)

0 = 44.55 - 6.15t

t = 44.55/6.15

t = 7.244 s

Now we want to find out how far the sled has travelled from its starting point by the time it finally comes to rest.

Thus, we'll use the equation;

v² = u² + 2as

Where s will be the second displacement which we will call d2.

Thus;

0² = 44.55² + (-2 × 6.15 × s)

0 = 1984.7025 - 12.3s

12.3s = 1984.7025

s = 1984.7025/12.3

s = 161.358

Thus, d2 = s = 161.358 m

Thus, distance sled has travelled from its starting point by the time it finally comes to rest is ;

= d1 + d2 = 73.5075 + 161.358 = 234.8655 m

Why are such scientific advances still valuable?

Sergeu [11.5K]

Because the more advances made in the world means the more we can learn on how things work and how we can better the lives of humans and other species. If we didn't have scientific advancements we wouldn't have cell phones, electric, tv, car, computers, ect. We would still be living in Cave man era with clubs and horrible language skills.
