Answer:

54 km/h

Explanation:

given,

speed of the biker = 36 Km/h

time = 10 s

acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

speed at which it crosses the finish line  = ?

v = 36 x 0.278 = 10 m/s

using equation of motion

v = u + a t

v = 10 + 0.5 x 10

v = 15 m/s

v = 15 x 3.6 = 54 km/hr

speed at which the biker crosses the finish line is equal to 54 km/h

Please help me to do this problem
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

we got time and velocity over time.

so the distance is again the area underneath the graph

for a triangle with known base and height it's

4*10 / 2

distance traveled is 20

deceleration occurs when velocity decreases. that happens from t=2 till t=4

in 2 time-units we loose 10 units of velocity, so we decelerate by 5 units per 1 time

a (from t=2 to t=4) = -5v/t

5. Is it likely that light with frequencies higher than ultraviolet was
Vinvika [58]

Answer: YES

Explanation:

If Tia Ana exposes her eyes to light ray in which it frequency is higher than ultraviolet ray, it may result to a gradual eyes issue such as cataracts as the radiation damages the cornea and the lens in front of the eyes.

NASA is giving serious consideration to the concept of solar sailing. A solar sailcraft uses a large, low- mass sail and the ene
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

<em>d. The sail should be reflective because in this case the momentum transferred to the sail per unit area per unit time is larger than for absorbing sail, therefore the radiation pressure is larger for the reflective sail.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Let us take the momentum of a photon unit as u

we know that the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the force exerted.

For a absorbing surface, the photon is absorbed, therefore the final momentum is zero. From this we can say that

F = (u - 0)/t = u/t

for a unit time, the force is proportional to the momentum of the wave due to its energy density. Therefore,

F = u

For a reflecting surface, the momentum of the wave strikes the sail and changes direction. Since we know that the speed of light does not change, then the force is proportional to

F = (u - (-u))/t = 2u/t

just as the we did above, it becomes

F = 2u.

From this we can see that the force for a reflective sail is twice of that for an absorbing sail, and we know that the pressure is proportional to the force for a given area. From these, we conclude that <em>the sail should be reflective because in this case the momentum transferred to the sail per unit area per unit time is larger than for absorbing sail, therefore the radiation pressure is larger for the reflective sail.</em>
