We use the formula,

v = \frac{d}{t}.

Here, v is velocity and its value given 26 mi/h ( in m/s,  \frac{26 \times 1.609 \times 10^{3} m}{60 \times 60 s} =11.62 \ m/s ) and d is distance and its value is given 80 m.

Substituting these values in above formula we get,

t = \frac{80 m}{11.62m/s } = 6.88 \ s

Thus, the time delay between green lights on successive blocks to keep the traffic moving continuously is 6.88 s

What is the likely identity of a metal if a sample has a mass of 63.5 g when measured in air and an apparent mass of 60.2 g when
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Gold

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of sample = 63.5 g

Mass of water = 60.2 g

Find:

Object

Computation:

Mass of water displaced = 63.5 g - 60.2 g

Mass of water displaced = 3.3 g

So, volume in water = 3.3 cm³

Density = Mass / Volume

Density = 63.5 g / 3.3

Density = 19.24

So,

Object ,must be gold.

How do longshore currents shape the land?
Sonbull [250]
Longshore drift has a very powerful influence on the shape and composition of the coastline. It changes the slopes of beaches and creates long, narrow shoals of land called spits, that extend out from shore. Longshore drift may also create or destroy entire “barrier islands” along a shoreline.

1. Two-point charges, QA = +8 μC and QB = -5 μC, are separated by a distance r = 10 cm. What is the magnitude and direction of t
tiny-mole [99]

Explanation:

Charges,q_1=8\ \mu C=8\times 10^{-6}\ C

q_2=-5\ \mu C=-5\times 10^{-6}\ C

The distance between charges, r = 10 cm = 0.1 m

We need to find the magnitude and direction of the electric force. It is given by :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\F=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 8\times 10^{-6}\times 5\times 10^{-6}}{(0.1)^2}\\\\F=36\ N

So, the required force between charges is 36 N and it is towards positive charge i.e. +8 μC.
