Speedy, the super-swift squid, swims sideways at 5.3 m/s. If he suddenly uses his ink jet to accelerate at 15 m/s/s for 2.1 s, w

hat is his final speed in miles per hour? Round to no decimal places.

Use v = vi + at
v = 5.3 m/s + (15 m/s^2)(2.1 s)
v = 5.3 m/s + 31.5 m/s
v = 36.8 m/s

Which describes radioactive decay of a substance?

Margarita [4]

Radioactive decay is the loss of elementary particles from an unstable nucleus, ultimately changing the unstable element into another more stable element. There are five types of radioactive decay: alpha emission, beta emission, positron emission, electron capture, and gamma emission.

A 65 kg cart travels at a constant speed of 4.6 m/s. What is its kinetic energy?

Talja [164]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass (m) = 65 kg

velocity (v) = 4.6 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE)

= 1/2 * m * v²

= 1/2 * 65 * 4.6²

= 687.7 J

hope it helps :)

Suppose you have a scarf that appears red when you are outside on a sunny day. Will the scarf appear red if you view it under di

Radda [10]

Answer:

no

actually no one weres the scarf in sunny ʕ•ε•ʔ

Explanation:

The colours we see are the wavelengths that are reflected or transmitted. For example, a red shirt looks red because the dye molecules in the fabric have absorbed the wavelengths of light from

A low orbit satellite at 100 km altitude had a camera that resolved a car location to within 0.3 meter. Find the minimum diamete

NeX [460]

Answer:

Minimum diameter of the camera lens is 22.4 cm

The focal length of the camera's lens is 300cm

Explanation:

y = Resolve distance = 0.3 m

h = Height of satellite = 100 km

λ = Wavelength = 550 nm

Angular resolution

$tan\theta\approx \theta =\frac{y}{h}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{0.3}{100\times 10^3}=3\times 10^{-6}$

From Rayleigh criteria

$sin\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{\lambda}{sin\theta}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{550\times 10^{-9}}{sin3\times 10^{-6}}=0.2236\ m=22.4\ cm$

Minimum diameter of the camera lens is 22.4 cm

Relation between resolvable feature, focal length and angular resolution

$d=f\Delta \theta\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{d}{\Delta \theta}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{9\times 10^{-6}}{3\times 10^{-6}}=3\ m=300\ cm$

The focal length of the camera's lens is 300cm

You must exert a force of 4.5N on a book to slide it across a table. If you do 3.7J of work in the process, how far have you mov
