Answer:

The wavelength in miles is <u>0.1165 miles</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength of the radio wave is 187.37 m.

Now, the wavelength is given in meters.

We need to convert the wavelength from meters to miles.

In order to convert meters to miles, we have to use their conversion factor.

We know that,

1 meter = $\frac{1}{1609}\ miles$

Therefore, the conversion factor is given as:

$CF=\frac{1}{1609}\ miles\ per\ meter$

So, the wavelength in miles is given as:

$Wavelength=\textrm{Wavelength in meters}\times CF\\\\Wavelength=187.37\ m\times \frac{\frac{1}{1609}\ miles}{1\ m}\\\\Wavelength=\frac{187.37}{1609}\ miles\\\\Wavelength=0.1165\ miles$

Hence, the wavelength in miles is 0.1165 miles.

13.An airplane starts from rest at the end of a runway and accelerates at a constant rate. In the first second, the airplane tra

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The answer is 3.33m

Explanation:

The acceleration "a" is constant.

Acceleration is the variation of velocity over time,

$\frac{dv}{dt} = a$ .

solving the last equation

$\int_{v_0}^v dv = a\int_0^t dt \rightarrow v-v_0 = at$ ,

where $v_0=0$ because the airplane starts from rest.

Once again, velocity is the variation of distance over time.

$\frac{dx}{dt} = at \rightarrow \int_{x_0}^x dx = a\int_0^t t\ dt$

then

$x- x_0 = \frac{1}{2}at^2$

where $x_0=0$ if we consider the end of the runway as the initial point (this step is for simplicity but you can let it expressed, it's going to cancel anyway).

If $x=1.11\ m$ at $t=1s$ , then

$a = \frac{2x}{t^2} = 2.22\ m/s^2$

and the final expression for the distance is

$x = 1.11 t^2$ .

If t = 2s, x = 4.44 m. Which means thad the additional distance is

$x(2s) - x(1s) = 4.44 - 1.11 = 3.33\ m$

leva [86]

Answer:

0.02896 kg/s

Explanation:

$A_1$ = Initial displacement = 0.5 m

$A21$ = Final displacement = 0.1 m

t = Time taken = 0.5 s

m = Mass of object = 45 g

Displacement is given by

$x=Ae^{-\dfrac{b}{2m}t}cos(\omega t+\phi)$

At maximum displacement

$cos(\omega t+\phi)=1$

$\\\Rightarrow A_2=A_1e^{-\dfrac{b}{2m}t}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=e^{\dfrac{b}{2m}t}\\\Rightarrow ln\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{b}{2m}t\\\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{2m}{t}\times ln\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}\\\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{2\times 0.045}{5}\times ln\dfrac{0.5}{0.1}\\\Rightarrow b=0.02896\ kg/s$

The magnitude of the damping coefficient is 0.02896 kg/s
