Sally and Ramona were competing in a four-lap, one-mile foot race. Sally’s style was to run at a constant rate of 12 mph. Ramona

decided to run her first three laps at 11 mph, and save a ‘kick’ in order to run a 16 mph pace for the fourth and final lap. Who wins the race, and by how many minutes or seconds?

Sally wins the race by 0.03 min

Explanation:

To find time = distance / velocity

Sally;

1 mile / 12 mph

= ¹/12 hrs * 60

= 5 min

Ramona;

³/4 mile ÷ 11 mph  +  ¹/4 mile ÷ 16 mph

= ³/44 hrs + ¹/64 hrs

= 4.09 min + 0.94 min

= 5.03 min

Calculate the angle for the third-order maximum of 580-nm wavelength yellow light falling on double slits separated by 0.100 mm.
alekssr [168]

<u>Answer:</u> The angle of diffraction is 0.498°

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the angle of diffraction, we use the equation given by Bragg, which is:

n\lambda =2d\sin \theta

where,  

n = order of diffraction = 3

\lambda = wavelength of the light = 580nm=5.80\times 10^{-7}m    (Conversion factor:  1m=10^{9}nm )

d = spacing between the crystal planes = 0.100 mm = 1.0\times 10^{-4}       (Conversion factor:  1 m = 1000 mm)

\theta = angle of diffraction = ?

Putting values in above equation:

3\times 5.80\times 10^{-7}=2\times 1.00\times 10^{-4}\sin \theta\\\\\sin \theta = 0.0087\\\\\theta=\sin ^{-1} (0.0087)=0.498

Hence, the angle of diffraction is 0.498°

what is the property of an object due to its mass by which it resists any change in its position unless overcome by force ?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Mass as a Measure of the Amount of Inertia

All objects resist changes in their state of motion. All objects have this tendency - they have inertia.

Two pieces of amber are hung from threads. Piece A is charged by rubbing piece A with fur. Piece B is charged by rubbing piece B
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

ieces A and B must also have the same type of charges

Explanation:

In electrostatics, charges of the same sign repel and charges of different signs attract.

If we apply this to our case, we have that part A and C repel each other, therefore they have the same type of charge.

Also part A and C repel each other, therefore they have the same type of charge.

If we use the transitive property of mathematics, pieces A and B must also have the same type of charges
