Answer:

The average speed of the cyclist is 17.14 km/hr

Explanation:

Given;

total distance traveled by the cyclist's, d = 60 km

time taken by the cyclist, t = 3.5 hours

The average speed of the cyclist is given by;

average speed  = total distance traveled / total time taken

average speed = 60 km / 3.5 hr

average speed  = 17.14 km/hr

Therefore, the average speed of the cyclist is 17.14 km/hr

A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different rainbow colors reflecting off
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of oil slick a thin layer of oil is formed on water . This thin layer creates a rainbow of colour . The phenomenon is due to interference of light waves , one reflected from the upper surface of oil and the other reflected from the lower surface of the oil.

For formation of bright colour

2 μ t = ( 2n + 1 ) λ / 2

μ is refractive index of oil ,  t is thickness of oil layer  λ is wave length of light falling on the layer .

given μ = 1.2 ,   λ = 750 x 10⁻⁹   ,

2 x 1.2 t = ( 2n + 1 ) 750 x 10⁻⁹ / 2

For minimum thickness n = 0

2.4 t = 375 x 10⁻⁹

t = 156.25 n m

B ) If the refractive index of layer of medium below oil is less than that of oil , the condition of formation of colour changes

The new condition is

2 μ t = n λ

2  x 1.5 t  = 750 nm ,         n = 1 for minimum wavelength .

t = 250 nm

C ) Light mostly transmitted means dark spot is formed at that point .

For that to be observed from water side , the condition is

2 μ t = ( 2n + 1 ) λ / 2

λ = 4μ t / ( 2n + 1 )

For maximum wavelength n = 0

λ = 4μ t

= 4 x 1.5 x 200 nm

= 1200 nm .

How tall would a tower need to be if the period of a pendulum were 30. seconds
Virty [35]
We use the following expression

T = 2*pi *sqrt(l/g)

Where T is the period of the pendulum

l is the length of the pendulum

and g the acceleration of gravity

We solve for l

l = [T/2*pi]² *g = [30s/2*pi]²* 9.8 [m/s²] = 223.413 m

The tower would need to be at least 223.413 m high

A college friend of yours who has been postponing taking any science courses hears you talking about the generation of nuclear e
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

It's held together by the nuclear force.

Explanation:

There are <em>more</em> elemental forces than just the electromagnetic one. In this case, it is the nuclear force (called also strong force) the one that holds the nucleus together because it is stronger than the electromagnetic force over such short distances as the one inside the atomic nucleus.
