Explanation:

It is given that,

When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, $d=2.5\times 10^{-15}\ m$

Speed of light, $c=3\times 10^{8}\ m\s$

Let t is the time interval required for the strong interaction to occur. The speed is given by :

$c=\dfrac{d}{t}$

$t=\dfrac{d}{c}$

$t=\dfrac{2.5\times 10^{-15}\ m}{3\times 10^{8}\ m/s}$

$t=8.33\times 10^{-24}\ s$

So, the time interval required for the strong interaction to occur is $8.33\times 10^{-24}\ s$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

a.After $15$ second Mr Comer's speed $=$ $1.7 m/s$

b.Distance travelled by Mr.Comer in $15$ seconds $=$ $18.75\ m$

Explanation:

a. Lets recall our first equation of motion $V_{f} =V_{i} + at$

Now we know that $V_{i} = 0.8m/s$ , $a = 0.06\ m/s^2$ and

$t = 15 \ sec$

Plugging the values we have.

$V_{f} =V_{i} + at$

$V_{f} =0.8 + 0.06 \times 15$

$V_{f} =0.8+ 0.9$

$V_{f} =1.7 m/s$

Then Mr.Comer's speed after $15$ sec $=$ $1.7ms^-1$

b.

Lets find the distance and recall our third equation of motion.

$V_{f} ^2-V{i}^2 = 2as$

So $s =$ distance covered.

Dividing both sides with 2a we have.

$\frac{V_{f} ^2-V{i}^2}{2a} = 2as$

Plugging the values.

$\frac{(1.7)^2-(0.8)^2}{2\times0.06} = 2as$

$s= 18.75\ m$

So Mr.Comer will travel a distance of $s= 18.75\ m$ .

What can be defined as the rate at which velocity changes

taurus [48]

Answer:

acceleration

Explanation:

The rate at which velocity changes is the definition of the physical quantity called acceleration, and it is given by the formula: $a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}$

where $\Delta t$ is the time that took to change from the initial velocity $v_i$ to the final velocity $v_f$
