Answer:

Explanation:

Distance = 50 m

1. To find the average speed, first start the stop watch as the sprinter starts running and then stop it when he reaches the finish line.

Now note the time taken by the sprinter to run for 50 m.

The average speed of the sprinter is defined as the ratio of total distance covered to the total time taken.

Average speed = total distance / total time

2. To find the instantaneous speed, check the seed of the sprinter as he is at the finish line.

What do you notice about earths axis during the winter solstice
MrRa [10]
The Earth's axis is tilted "away" from the Sun in the hemisphere. where it's winter. The daytime is very short. That's because the Earth's axis is tilted "away" from the Sun in the hemisphere.

Plz plz help ...i really need steps for this answer
bija089 [108]

Answer:

3.9 seconds

Explanation:

Use constant acceleration equation:

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

where y is the final position,

y₀ is the initial position,

v₀ is the initial velocity,

a is the acceleration,

and t is time.

Given:

y = 0 m

y₀ = 15 m

v₀ = 15 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Substituting values:

0 = 15 + 15t + ½ (-9.8) t²

0 = 15 + 15t − 4.9t²

0 = 4.9t² − 15t − 15

Solve with quadratic formula:

t = [ -b ± √(b² − 4ac) ] / 2a

t = [ 15 ± √((-15)² − 4(4.9)(-15)) ] / 2(4.9)

t = [ 15 ± √(225 + 294) ] / 9.8

t = (15 ± √519) / 9.8

t = -0.79 or 3.9

It takes 3.9 seconds for the stone to reach the bottom of the well.

The negative answer is the time it takes the stone to travel from the bottom of the well up to the top of the well.

In the Zeeman effect, the energy levels of hydrogen are split by a magnetic field. Each state with a different value of mlml has
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

the Zeeman effect without spin is three lines

Explanation:

The Zeeman effect is the result of the interaction of the magnetic field with the orbital angular momentum of the electrons, if we do not take the spin into account it is called the Normal Zeeman effect.

Therefore we only take into account the orbital moments (m_l) of the transition, from the selection rules of the refreshed harmonics, only the transition with

             \Delta m_l = 0, ± 1

            ΔE \DeltaE = \mu_B \ \Delta  m_l \ B

Let's analyze for the case of the Hydrogen atom

For a transition between levels n = 1 and n = 2 the values ​​of m_l are n_f = 1 m_l = 0 and for n₀ = 2  m_l = 0, 1

so we only have two lines.

For transition n_f = 2 and n₀ = 3

n_f = 2    m_l = 0, 1

n₀ = 3      m_l = -1, 0, 1

There are only two lines plus the central line, so there are three spectral lines

for n_f = 3 and n_o = 4

n_f = 3   ml = -1, 0, 1

n₀= 4      ml = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2

Only transitions with  Δm_l = ±1 are allowed, so there are only two transitions plus the central transition (Δm_l = 0), so there are only 3 spectral lines.

In summary, due to the selection rule of spherical harmonics, the greatest number of lines in the Zeeman effect without spin is three lines.

A geologist finds that a Moon rock whose mass is 8.94 kg has an apparent mass of 6.18 kg when submerged in water. What is the de
Grace [21]

Density of rock = 3.23 Kg/m^3

Given:

mass of Moon rock = 8.94 kg

apparent mass of Moon rock = 6.18 kg

To Find:

density of the rock

Solution: It is a universal fact that mass of an object remains constant whether measured on earth or on moon.

Mass of rock on moon/earth = 8.94 kg

When the block is immersed in water then;

Loss in weight = weight of water displaced

Loss in weight = 8.94 - 6.18 = 2.76 kg

As we know that water has a density of 1g/cm^3 (1000kg/m^3)

Volume of water = volume of the rock = Mass/density = 2.76 kg

density of rock mass/volume = 8.94/2.76 = 3.23 Kg/m^3

Density of rock = 3.23 Kg/m^3
