Assume light is traveling through an optical medium of n1 and is incident on a boundary with a different optical medium with n2.

If the speed of light in the second medium is half the value compared to that of the first one, then one properly concludes that

A bike rider pedals with constant acceleration to reach a velocity of 7.8 m/s over a time of 4.2 s. during the period of acceler
Artyom0805 [142]

To calculate the initial velocity of the bike, we use the following equation

d=\frac{1}{2} (u+v)t.

or

u=\frac{2d}{t} -v

Here, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, t is the time and d is the distance covered by bike.

Given, u =7.8 m/s,d= 19 m and t=4.2 s.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

u = \frac{2 \times 19}{4.2 \ s} -7.8 m/s = 9.05 \ m/s - 7.8 \ m/s \\\\ u= 1.2 m/s.

Thus, the initial velocity of the bike is 1.2 m/s.

A ranger in a national park is driving at 56 km/h when a deer jumps onto the road 65 m ahead of the vehicle. After a reaction ti
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

 t = 1.58 s

Explanation:

given,

Speed of ranger, v = 56 km/h

                            v = 56 x 0.278 = 15.57 m/s

distance, d = 65 m

deceleration,a = 3 m/s²

reaction time = ?

using stopping distance formula

d = v. t + \dfrac{v^2}{2a}

t = \dfrac{d}{v} -\dfrac{v}{2a}

t is the reaction time

t = \dfrac{65}{15.57} -\dfrac{15.57}{2\times 3}

 t = 1.58 s

hence, the reaction time of the ranger is equal to 1.58 s.
