Answer:

The acceleration is $11.1g\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed $v= 6.50\ km/s=6.5\times10^{-3}\ m/s$

Time t = 60.0 sec

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula off acceleration

$a = \dfrac{\Delta v}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}$

We know that,

Missile goes from rest

So, Initial velocity =0

Put the value into the formula

$a =\dfrac{6.50\times10^{3}}{60.0}$

$a=108.33\ m/s^2$

On right hand side multiplying and dividing by g = 9.8m/s²

$a=108.33\times\dfrac{g}{g}$

Put the value of g

$a = \dfrac{108.33}{9.8}g\ m/s^2$

$a = 11.1g\ m/s^2$

Hence, The acceleration is $11.1g\ m/s^2$

Why does a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude

inna [77]

Answer:

According to your question although I think an object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nevertheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction. The direction of the acceleration is inwards,therefore a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude.

Calculate the minimum thickness (in nm) of an oil slick on water that appears blue when illuminated by white light perpendicular

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The minimum thickness = 83.92 nm

Explanation:

The relation between the wavelength in a particular medium and refractive index $\lambda_n = \frac{ \lambda }{n}$

where ;

$\lambda$ = wavelength of the light in vacuum

n = refractive index of medium with respect to vacuum

For one phase change :

$2t = \frac{\lambda_n}{2}\\\\where \ \lambda_n = \frac{\lambda}{n}\\\\Then \ \\\\2t = \frac{\lambda}{2n}\\\\t = \frac{\lambda_n}{4n}$

Replacing 1.43 for n and 480 nm for λ; we have:

$t = \frac{480}{4(1.43)}$

t = 83.92 nm

Thus; the minimum thickness = 83.92 nm

When you jump from an elevated position you usually bend your knees upon reaching the ground. By doing this, you make the time o

dsp73

Answer:

c. about 1/10 as great.

Explanation:

While jumping form a certain height when we bend our knees upon reaching the ground such that the time taken to come to complete rest is increased by 10 times then the impact force gets reduced to one-tenth of the initial value when we would not do so.

This is in accordance with the Newton's second law of motion which states that the rate of change in velocity is directly proportional to the force applied on the body.

Mathematically:

$F\propto\frac{d}{dt} (p)$

$\Rightarrow F=\frac{d}{dt} (m.v)$

since mass is constant

$F=m\frac{d}{dt}v$

when $dt=10t$

then,

$F'=m.\frac{v}{10\times t}$

$F'=\frac{1}{10} \times \frac{m.v}{t}$

$F'=\frac{F}{10}$ the body will experience the tenth part of the maximum force.

where:

$\frac{d}{dt} =$ represents the rate of change in dependent quantity with respect to time

$p=$ momentum

$m=$ mass of the person jumping

$v=$ velocity of the body while hitting the ground.

You stand on a straight desert road at night and observe a vehicle approaching. This vehicle is equipped with two small headligh

choli [55]

Answer:

They can be seen from a distance of 4.372 kilometers.

Explanation:

Using the Reyligh creterion for diffraction through a circular aperture we have

$\frac{x}{D}=\frac{1.22\lambda }{d}$

where symbol's have their usual meaning

thus applying values we get

$D=\frac{dx}{1.22\lambda }$

$\therefore D=\frac{0.633\times 4.61\times 10^{-3}}{1.22\times 547\times 10^{-9}}\\\\D=4372.77m\\=4.372km$
