A squirrel is running a race where she is on track for her average velocity to be 6.0 m/s. She is distracted by a dummy of an at

tractive male squirrel and pauses for 3.0 s. As a result her average velocity ends up being 5.0 m/s instead. What is the length of the race? [HINT: construct two equations with the same two unknowns in them and you can solve the system of equations]

Answer:

90 m

Explanation:

There are two unknowns: the amount of time the squirrel spent running, and the length of the race.  Let's call these t and x, respectively.

The average velocity is the total distance divided by the total time.

5.0 m/s = x / (t + 3.0)

The total distance is the time she spent running times the speed she ran at.

x = (6.0 m/s) t

Substitute and solve:

5 = 6t / (t + 3)

5 (t + 3) = 6t

5t + 15 = 6t

t = 15

She ran for 15 seconds (not including the 3 seconds she stopped).  So the length of the race is:

x = (6.0 m/s) (15 s)

x = 90 m

Could an experiment similar to young's two-slit experiment be performed with sound? how might this be carried out? does it matte
Arada [10]
Young's double slit experiment(YDSE) can be used for any kind of waves such as electromagnetic waves, sound waves, water waves, gravity waves. YDSE is based on interference. In this experiment, we make two waves interfere in order to obtain bright and dark fringes on the screen(in case of light).
You can carry this out with water, would be great if you try this at pond or water reservoir in order to see perfect ripples.
