Answer:

The speed of an escalator that goes up is different from the speed of one that goes down at the same speed because <u><em>the directions are opposite.</em></u>

Explanation:

Speed is a physical quantity that expresses the relationship between the space traveled by an object, the time taken for it and its direction.

So, since velocity considers the direction in which the displacement of an object occurs, it is considered a vector magnitude.

In other words, speed implies the change of position of an object in space within a certain amount of time (that is, speed), added to the direction in which said movement occurs.

Then, <u><em>the speed of an escalator that goes up is different from the speed of one that goes down at the same speed because the directions are opposite.</em></u>

Velocity means DIRECTION and speed.

and if it's going down that's a different direction from up obviously.

A spotlight on the ground shines on a wall 12m away. If a man 2m tall walks from the spotlight toward a building at a speed of 1
exis [7]
<span> we suppose that x be distance of man from spot light is
so 12-x is distance from man to wall
we will draw first triangle ABC, where
a= spotlight (on ground)
b= man (feet)
c= man (head)
we know that AB = x and BC = 2
by extend line AB to the wall at point D and extend line AC to the wall at point E
AD = 12 (distance from spotlight to wall)
DE = s (length of shadow)
Now triangles ABC and ADE are similar
Therefore DE/AD = BC/AB
s / 12 = 2 / x
s = 24 / x
Differentiate both sides with respect to t
ds/dt = -24/x² dx/dt
Man is walking toward building at speed of 16 ms
dx/dt = 16
Man is 4 m from the building/wall
12 - x = 4
x = 8
Find ds/dt when x = 8 and dx/dt = 16
ds/dt = -24/x² dx/dt
ds/dt = -24/(64) * 16
ds/dt = -6

So length of shadow is decreasing at rate of 6 m/s
hope it helps

kherson [118]

Answer:

t = 200 nm

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of a light beam is 500 nm

It is reflected constructively from a thin layer of oil having index of refraction 1.25.

The oil floats on the top of water of index of refraction 1.33.

We need to find the minimum thickness of the layer of oil. `

For constructive interference,

\dfrac{2nt}{\lambda}=m

m is 1 for minimum thickness

n is refractive index of oil

t is thickness of layer of oil.

So,

t=\dfrac{m\lambda}{2n}\\\\t=\dfrac{1\times 500\times 10^{-9}}{2\times 1.25}\\\\t=2\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\t=200\ nm

So, the minimum thickness of the layer of oil is 200 nm.
