A sprinter ran a 100 meter dash in 12.5 seconds. What was his speed?'

Physics

VladimirAG [237]4 years ago
6 0

Speed is (pretty much) the same thing as velocity.

Velocity can be calculated by dividing the distance traveled over the time it took to travel said distance.

V=d/t

V=100 meters/12.5 seconds=8 meters per second

Velocity=8 m/s

You look down an old well, cannot see the bottom, and mutter to yourself "Oh well!". In order to estimate the depth of the well,
telo118 [61]

Answer:

The best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Record time,

t_{1}=2.19\ sec

t_{2}=2.30\ sec

t_{3}=2.26\ sec

t_{4}=2.29\ sec

t_{5}=2.27\ sec

We need to find the best estimate of the depth of the well

According to record time,

We can write of the record time

t_{1}=2.19\approx 2.2\ sec

t_{2}=2.30\approx 2.3\ sec

t_{3}=2.26\approx 2.3\ sec

t_{4}=2.29\approx 2.3\ sec

t_{5}=2.27\approx 2.3\ sec

Here, all time is nearest 2.3 sec.

So, we can say that the best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

Hence, The best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

A wave has a velocity of 24 m/s and a period of 3.0 s. Calculate the wavelength of the wave.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Velocity (unit:m/s) of the wave is given with the formula:

v=f∧,

where f is the frequency which tells us how many waves are passing a point per second (unit: Hz) and ∧ is the wavelength, which tells us the length of those waves in metres (unit:m)

f=1/T , where T is the period of the wave.

In our case: f=1/3

∧=v/f=24m/s/1/3=24*3=72m

Unpolarized light with an intensity of (25.0 A) units is passed through two successive polarizing filters, the first with its po
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

the intensity of the light after passing through the two polarizing filters is 4.11 units  

 

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

the intensity of an unpolarized light; I₀ = 25.0 units

when the unpolarized light passes through the first polarizer, its intensity reduces to half of its initial value;

⇒ I₁ = I₀/2 = 25/2 = 12.5 units

the angle between the transmission axes of two polarizers is;

∅ = 55° - 0° = 55°

The intensity of the light after passing through two polarizing filters will be;

I₂ = I₁cos²∅      

we substitute

I₂ = 12.5 × cos²(55)

I₂ = 12.5 × 0.3289899

I₂ = 4.11 units

Therefore, the intensity of the light after passing through the two polarizing filters is 4.11 units

Glare appears on a computer screen when light from the surroundings reflects off of the screen’s surface. Some computer screens
hoa [83]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

D:The surface of the coating allows light from the room to pass through but blocks the light from the screen.

Explanation:

Glare is produced on a computer screen when light from some external source reflects on the screen.

Anti-glare coating do not absorb light to reduce glare but they actually reduce glare by encouraging the light from the room to pass through the screen so that less light is reflected. Polarized lenses absorbs light to reduce glare, not anti-glare coating.
