The solution to the problem is as follows:

<span>First, I'd convert 188 mi/hr to ft/s. You should end up with about ~275.7 ft/s.
 
So now write down all the values you know:

Vfinal = 275.7 ft/s

Vinitial = 0 ft/s

distance = 299ft
</span>
<span>Now just plug in Vf, Vi and d to solve
</span>
<span>Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2 a d 

</span><span>BTW: That will give you the acceleration in ft/s^2. You can convert that to "g"s by dividing it by 32 since 1 g is 32 ft/s^2.</span>

Answer:

Hope this helps you find the answer

Explanation:

The proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides that make up most of the food we eat must be broken down into smaller molecules before our cells can use them—either as a source of energy or as building blocks for other molecules.

What is the magnetic field amplitude of an electromagnetic wave whose electric field amplitude is 10v/m?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

3.33\cdot 10^{-8} T

Explanation:

For an electromagnetic wave, the relationship between magnetic field amplitude and electric field amplitude is given by

E=cB

where

E is the amplitude of the electric field

c is the speed of light

B is the amplitude of the magnetic field

For the electromagnetic wave in this problem, we have

E = 10 V/m is the amplitude of the electric field

So if we solve the formula for B, we find the amplitude of the magnetic field:

B=\frac{E}{c}=\frac{10 V/m}{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}=3.33\cdot 10^{-8} T
