Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the truck, m = 2268 kg

Speed of the truck, v = 30 m/s

The friction force has an average magnitude of 700 N, f = -700 N

(a) The initial kinetic energy of the truck is given by :

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2268\times (30)^2\\\\K=1.02\times 10^6\ J$

(b) Finally, the stops due to an effective friction force that the road, final speed is 0. Let d is the stopping distance of the truck. using third equation of motion to find it as :

$v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{-u^2}{2a}$

Since, f = ma

$d=\dfrac{-u^2m}{2f}\\\\d=\dfrac{-(30)^2\times 2268}{-2\times 700}\\\\d=1458\ m$

So, the stopping distance of the truck is 1458 meters.

For the wave of light you generated in the Part B, calculate the amount of energy in 1.0 mol of photons with that same frequency

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

2.7 J

Explanation:

The energy of one photon is given by

$E=hf$

where

h is the Planck constant

f is the frequency

For the photons in this problem,

$f=6.8\cdot 10^9 Hz$

So the energy of one photon is

$E_1=(6.63\cdot 10^{-34})(6.8\cdot 10^9 )=4.5\cdot 10^{-24} J$

The number of photons contained in 1.0 mol is

$N_A = 6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1}$ (Avogadro number)

So the total energy of $N_A$ photons contained in 1.0 mol is

$E=N_A E_1 =(6.022\cdot 10^{23})(4.5\cdot 10^{-24})=2.7 J$

Listed following are the names and mirror diameters for six of the world’s greatest reflecting telescopes used to gather visible

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope

Explanation:

How much light a telescope can collect depends on its diameter, since in a bigger area more photons will be collected.

Remember that in a circle the area is defined as:

$A = \pi r^{2}$ (1)

Where A is the area and r is its radius.

However, the radius can be determined by means of its diameter.

$d = 2r$

$r = \frac{d}{2}$ (1)

Where d is its diameter.

An example of this is when a person is collecting raindrops with a bucket and with a cup. Since the bucket has a bigger area than the cup, it will collect more raindrops by unit of time. In this scenario the raindrops represent the photons.

To determine the light collecting area of each telescope, equation 2 will be replaced in equation 1.

$A = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2}$ (3)

Case for Large binocular telescope:

$A_{mirror1} = \pi (\frac{8.4m}{2})^{2}$

$A_{mirror1} = 55.41m$

For the second mirror will be the same value

$A = A_{mirror1}+A_{mirror2}$

$A = 55.41m+55.41m$

$A= 110.82m$

Case for Keck 1 telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{10m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 78.53m$

Case for Hobby-Ebberly telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{9.2m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 66.47m$

Case for Subaru telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{8.3m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 54.10m$

Case for Gemini North telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{8m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 50.26m$

Case for Magellan 2 telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{6.5m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 33.18m$

Hence, they may be rank in the following way:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope.

Two vehicles, a car and a truck, leave an intersection at the same time. the car heads east at an average speed of 50 miles pe

olya-2409 [2.1K]

The car heads east at an average speed of 50 miles per hour from the intersection point towards East. The truck heads east at an average speed of 60 miles per hour from the intersection point towards South.

The distance of car from the intersection point after t hours is $50t$ .

The distance of truck from the intersection point after t hours is $60t$ .

Since these distances are perpendicular to each other, distance apart d (in miles) at the end of t hours is

$d=\sqrt{(50t)^2+(60t)^2} \\ d=10\sqrt{61} t\\ d=78.1t$

Thus the distance apart is $d=78.1t \;miles$

Place the following steps in order for motor control. 1. Upper motor neurons stimulate lower motor neurons. 2. Sensory informati

Alla [95]

Answer:

3, 5, 1, 4, 2

Explanation:

When the body needs to move, certain muscles need to be stimulated in order to perform a certain movement. There is a process that is followed that starts with the brain sending a signal, and ends with the movement being performed by the body.

3. This is the first step, because a pathway needs to be established before any electric impulses can be sent. Hence, the upper motor neurons in the premotor cortex <u>need to choose a pathway</u> (known as a motor program).

5. This is the second step, because once a pathway has been established, a <u>signal needs to be sent</u> down that pathway. Hence, the basal nuclei enable the thalamus to stimulate the upper motor neurons to send an electrical impulse down the pathway.

1. This is the third step, because once the upper motor neurons have been stimulated, they send an electrical impulse to stimulate the lower motor neurons.

4. This is the forth step, because once the electrical impulse reaches the lower motor neurons, they pass the impulse to a certain group of skeletal muscles, causing them to contract.

2. This is the final step, because once the skeletal muscles have contracted, the <u>body has completed its movement</u>. However, once the body has moved, sensory information is relayed to the cerebellum to <u>ensure that the correct movement is made</u>, and if it needs to be adjusted, then the whole process will start again in order to correct the movement.
