Spectrum can can different meaning depending on the specific situation. But overall, a spectrum is a large amount of or infinite collection of values that exist withing a certain range. For example, light wavelengths exist on a spectrum becuase there are an infinite number of different wavelengths.

Hope this helps.<span />

You need to get to class, which is 282 meters away. You can only walk in the hallway at about 2.0 m/s (if you go any faster, you
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Time, t = 141 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between the class and the person, d = 282 m

Speed of the person, v = 2 m/s

We need to find the time taken by the person to get to your class. Let the time taken is t. The speed of the person is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{282\ m}{2\ m/s}

t = 141 seconds

So, the time taken by the person to get to your class is 141 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

A unit of time sometimes used in microscopic physics is the "shake". One shake equals 10−8 s.
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

(a) There are 3.17 times more shakes in a second than seconds in a year.

(b) Humans have existed for 9067.72 universe seconds.

Explanation:

(a) First we calcule how many seconds are in a year. One year have 365 days, one day has 24 hours, one hour has 60 minutes and one minute has 60 seconds, so:

60s*60*24*365=3.1536*10^7s

Now, we calculate how many shakes are in a second:

1s*\frac{1shake}{10^{-8}s}=10^8shakes

Finally, we calculate how many more shakes in a second are there than seconds in a year:

\frac{10^8s}{3.1536*10^7s}=3.17

(b) Using a simple rule of three we can calculate  how many "universe seconds" have humans existed, recall that 1 day has 86400 seconds:

1010 years--------->86400s

106 years----------> x seconds

x=\frac{106y*86400s}{1010y}=9067.72s

Alex is standing still and throws a football with a speed of 10 m/s to his friend, who is also standing still. The two friends a
Phantasy [73]

The question is incomplete. It comes with a set of answer choices.


These are the answer choices:


Alex observes it as 10 m/s, and his friend observes it as less than 10 m/s.


Alex observes it as less than 10 m/s, and his friend observes it as 10 m/s.


Both Alex and his friend observe it as 10 m/s.


Both Alex and his friend observe it as less than 10 m/s.



Answer: Both Alex and his friend observe it as 10 m/s.


Justification:


1) The speed is relative to the frame of reference.


2) It is said that the both Alex and his friend are standing still.


3) Then, the speed they both see is the same, 10 m/s, respect the Earth (where they are standing still).


Of course, Alex is watching the ball moving away and his friend is seing it approaching, but it is not relevant for the question, as it deals with the speed which is only about magnitude, not direction.

A bullet with an initial kinetic energy of 400 J strikes a wooden block where a 8000 N resistive force stops the bullet. What is
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

d = 0.05 [m] = 50 [mm]

Explanation:

We must remember the principle of conservation of energy which tells us that energy is transformed from one way to another. For this case, the initial kinetic energy is transformed into useful work that is equal to the product of force by distance.

E_{k}=F*d\\400 = 8000*d\\d = 0.05 [m] = 50 [mm]
