Answer:

6.96 s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • u = initial speed of the automobile = 0 m/s
  • a = constant acceleration of the automobile = 2.5\ m/s^2
  • v = constant speed of the truck = 8.7 m/s

<u>Assume:</u>

  • t = time instant at which the automobile overtakes the truck.

At the moment the automobile and the truck both meat each other the distance travel by both vehicles must be the same.

\therefore \textrm{Distance traveled by the automobile }=\textrm{Distance traveled by the truck}\\\Rightarrow ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2=vt\\\Rightarrow (0)t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5\times t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2-8.7t=0\\\Rightarrow t(1.25t-8.7)=0\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = \dfrac{8.7}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = 6.96\\

Since t = 0 s is the initial condition. So, they both meet again at t = 6.96 s such that the automobile overtakes the truck.

Radio waves of frequency 1.667 GHzGHz arrive at two telescopes that are connected by a computer to perform interferometry. One p
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Explanation:

The frequency of radio waves is 1.667 GHz

One portion of the same wave front travels 1.260 mm farther than the other before the two signals are combined.

There are two conditions for interference either constructive or destructive.

For constructive interference , the path difference is n times of wavelength and for destructive interference, the path difference is (n+1/2) times of wavelength

We can find wavelength in this case as follows :

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{1.667\times 10^9}\\\\\lambda=0.1799\ m

If we divide path difference by wavelength,

\dfrac{\delta}{\lambda} =\dfrac{1.26}{0.1799}\\\\\dfrac{\delta}{\lambda} =7\\\\\delta =7\lambda

It means that the path difference is 7 times of the wavelength. it means the two waves combine constructively and the value of m for the path difference between the two signals is 7.

Star A and Star B have different apparent brightnesses but identical luminosities. Star A is 10 light years away from earth and
STALIN [3.7K]

intensity of a star is inversely depends on the square of the distance from the star

we can say it is given as

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

here we know that

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = 36 times

also we know that

r_1 = 10 Ly

now we will have

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

36 = \frac{r_2^2}{10^2}

r_2 = 60 Ly

so other star is at distance 60 Light years
