In an 8.00 km race, one runner runs at a steady 11.0 km/h and other runs at 14.8 km/h. How far from the finish line is the slowe

The fast runner will cover 8 km by time = t = d/v =8/14.8 = 0.54 hour
at that time ( 0.54 hr ) the slower runner would  cover d = v*t = 11*.0.54 = 5.94 km
So the slower would be at a distance = 8km - 5.94km =2.06 km from the finish line.

At what rate is soda being sucked out of a cylindrical glass that is 6 in tall and has radius of 2 in? The depth of the soda dec
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The soda is being sucket out at a rate of 3.14 cubic inches/second.

Explanation:

R= 2in

S= π*R²= 12.56 inch²

rate= 0.25 in/sec

rate of soda sucked out= rate* S

rate of soda sucked out=  3.14 inch³/sec

Monochromatic light from a distant source is incident on a slit 0.750 mm wide. On a screen 2.00 m away, the distance from the ce
jasenka [17]

Answer:

\lambda= 506.25 nm

Explanation:

Diffraction is observed when a wave is distorted by an obstacle whose dimensions are comparable to the wavelength. The simplest case corresponds to the Fraunhofer diffraction, in which the obstacle is a long, narrow slit, so we can ignore the effects of extremes.

This is a simple case, in which we can use the Fraunhofer single slit diffraction equation:

y=\frac{m \lambda D}{a}

Where:

y=Displacement\hspace{3}from\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} centerline \hspace{3}for \hspace{3}minimum\hspace{3} intensity =1.35mm\\\lambda=Light\hspace{3} wavelength \\D=Distance\hspace{3}between\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}screen\hspace{3}and\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}slit=2m\\a=width\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}slit=0.750mm\\m=Order\hspace{3}number=1

Solving for λ:

\lambda=\frac{y*a}{mD}

Replacing the data provided by the problem:

\lambda=\frac{(1.35\times 10^{-3})*(0.750\times 10^{-3})}{1*2} =5.0625\times 10^{-7}m =506.25nm

Before Newton and develop reflecting telescopes what instruments did astronomers use?
never [62]

The first telescopes were refracting telescopes ... a tube
with lenses at both ends.  The quality of the image depends
on the quality of both lenses, because the light must pass
through both of them. 

The reflecting telescope was an improvement, because the
light doesn't have to go through the mirror.  The quality of the
primary mirror only depends on the shape and shinyness of
its surface. 

If you could carve an optically perfect parabolic surface out of
a piece of wood and coat it with a thin layer of shiny silver, then
you could use a log to make a good reflecting telescope.
II seem to recall that Newton made one out of brass !
