Rita jeptoo of kenya was the first female finisher in the 110th boston marathon. she ran the first 10.0 km in a time of 0.5689 h

. assume the race course to be along a straight line. (a) what was her average speed during the first 10.0 km segment of the race? (b) she completed the entire race, a distance of 42.195 km, in a time of 2.3939 h. what was her average speed for the race?

Part a

Answer: 17.58 km/h

$Average speed=\frac{Total\hspace{1mm}Distance}{Total\hspace{1mm}Time}$

Total Distance =10 km

Total time =0.5689 h

$\Rightarrow Average speed=\frac{10\hspace{1mm}km}{0.5689\hspace{1mm}h}=17.6 \hspace{1mm}km/h$

Part b

Answer: 17.626 km/h

$Average speed=\frac{Total\hspace{1mm}Distance}{Total\hspace{1mm}Time}$

Total Distance =42.195 km

Total time =2.3939 h

$\Rightarrow Average speed=\frac{42.195\hspace{1mm}km}{2.3939\hspace{1mm}h}=17.626\hspace{1mm}km/h$

Parallel rays of monochromatic light with wavelength 571nm illuminate two identical slits and produce an interference pattern on

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$8.8\times 10^{-6} W/m^2$

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength, $\lambda=571 nm=571\times 10^{-9} m$

$1 nm=10^{-9} m$

R=75 cm= $\frac{75}{100}=0.75 m$

1 m=100 cm

$d=0.640 mm=0.64\times 10^{-3} m$

$1 mm=10^{-3} m$

$a=0.434 mm=0.434\times 10^{-3} m$

$y=0.830 mm=0.830\times 10^{-3} m$

$I_0=5.00\times 10^{-4}W/m^2$

$tan\theta=\frac{y}{R}$

$\theta=\frac{0.830\times 10^{-3}}{0.75\times 10^{-2}}$

$\theta=1.1\times 10^{-3}rad$

$tan\theta\approx \theta$

Because $\theta$ is small.

$\phi=\frac{2\pi dsin\theta}{\lambda}$

$\sin\theta\approx \theta$ ,

Therefore

$\phi=\frac{2\times\pi\times 0.64\times 10^{-3}\times 1.1\times 10^{-3}}{571\times 10^{-9}}$

$\phi=7.74 rad$

$\beta=\frac{2\pi a\theta}{\lambda}$

$\beta=5.3 rad$

$I=I_0cos^2(\frac{\phi}{2})(\frac{sin\frac{\beta}{2}}{\frac{\beta}{2}})^2$

$I=5\times 10^{-4}cos^2(\frac{7.74}{2})(\frac{sin\frac{5.3}{2}}{\frac{5.3}{2}})^2$

$I=8.8\times 10^{-6} W/m^2$

Light travels at a speed of 2.998*108 m/s. Light takes approximately 3.25 minutes to travel from the Sun to reach a planet. Calc

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

585×10⁸ m

Explanation:

Distance = rate × time

d = (2.998×10⁸ m/s) (3.25 min) (60 s/min)

d = 585×10⁸ m

Who is most likely to benefit from use of lithium?

Alexxx [7]

I think that the people who are most likely to benefit from lithium is people with bipolar disorder. Because there have been tests that recently show that they use it for patients with that disease.
