It takes you 7.7 min to walk with an average velocity of 1.7 m/s to the north from the bus stop to the museum entrance. How far

did you walk? Answer in units of m.

Distance equals velocity times time:
x = v*t = 1.7 m/s * 7.7min * 60 s/min = 785.4 m

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.(a) What is its frequency?(b) What is its wavelength in glass t

inn [45]

(a) $4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

The frequency of a wave is given by:

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where

v is the wave's speed

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the red laser light in this problem, we have

$v=c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ (speed of light)

$\lambda=632.8 nm=632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m$

Substituting,

$f=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{632.8 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

(b) 427.6 nm

The wavelength of the wave in the glass is given by

$\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}$

where

$\lambda_0 = 632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m$ is the original wavelength of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

$\lambda=\frac{632.8\cdot 10^{-9}m}{1.48}=427.6\cdot 10^{-9}m=427.6 nm$

(c) $2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s$

The speed of the wave in the glass is given by

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

where

$c = 3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the original speed of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

$v=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.48}=2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Explain where you observe reflection, refraction, and absorption of light in your everyday activities

Studentka2010 [4]

Reflection: you look in the mirror.
Refraction: You put a straw in a glass of water, and it looks like it broke.
Absorption: If you have a black sweater and you wear it out in the cold, the black sweater is going to hold in heat better than a lighter sweater because the black sweater absorbs light .

Which scientific development has given rise to the most debate about the ethics of tampering with nature?

Burka [1]

<span>Good Morning!

The scientific advance that launched an ethical alert in the scientific community was the possibility of cloning animals, since it presents important questions, especially if such a project is extended to humans.

A mountain climber, in the process of crossing between two cliffs by a rope, pauses to rest. She weighs 514 N. As the drawing sh

n200080 [17]

Answer:

Part a)

$T_L = 155.4 N$

Part b)

$T_R = 379 N$

Explanation:

As we know that mountain climber is at rest so net force on it must be zero

So we will have force balance in X direction

$T_L cos65 = T_R cos80$

$T_L = 0.41 T_R$

now we will have force balance in Y direction

$mg = T_L sin65 + T_Rsin80$

$514 = 0.906T_L + 0.985T_R$

Part a)

so from above equations we have

$514 = 0.906T_L + 0.985(\frac{T_L}{0.41})$

$514 = 3.3 T_L$

$T_L = 155.4 N$

Part b)

Now for tension in right string we will have

$T_R = \frac{T_L}{0.41}$

$T_R = 379 N$

1. Straight-in spaces can leave you a safer out if

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

C. you're able to reverse out of the parking spot

Explanation:

Straight-in parking is an approach of parking that allows a more flexible traffic layout where a driver can approach the spot from either direction and still safely park within the lines. It thus helps to prevent blockage of cars. Each car can move in and out freely preventing it from congestion.

This way of parking can leave you safe when you able to reverse out of the parking spot. It gives you greater control and makes it easier to maneuver out space. The benefits of Straight-in parking are,

- Allows for two-way traffic

- Drivers can line up the vehicle from multiple angles

- Saves time for drivers
