Answer:

55 miles per hour

Explanation:

Given

Distance d = 55 miles

t_o =1.00 pm

t_f = 2.00 pm

Solution

Duration of the trip

\Delta t = t_f - t_o\\\\\Delta t = 2.00 pm - 1.00 pm\\\\\Delta t = 1 hour

Average velocity

v = \frac{d}{\Delta t} \\\\v = \frac{55}{1} \\\\v = 55 mph

27.5 because of you divide the 55miles with the time you get your velocity which is the speed.

Do heavier objects fall more slowly than lighter objects?
aksik [14]
Think of it like this, gravity has to pull harder on the heavier object to make them fall at the same rate , but doesn't have to pull as hard for the lighter object , thus is why sometimes heavier objects fall faster then lighter ones

Light of wavelength 480 nm illuminates a pair of slits separated by 0.27 mm. If a screen is place 1.7 m from the slits, determin
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

  Δy = 6.05 mm

Explanation:

The double slit phenomenon is described by the expression

      d sin θ = m λ                constructive interference

      d sin θ = (m + ½) λ       destructive interference

      m = 0,±1, ±2, ...

As they tell us that they measure the dark stripes, we are in a case of destructive interference, let's use trigonometry to find the sins tea

      tan θ = y / x

      y = x tan θ

In the interference experiments the measured angle is very small so we can approximate the tangent

      tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

     cos θ = 1

     tan θ = sin θ

     y = x sin θ

We substitute in the destructive interference equation

     d (y / x) = (m + ½) λ

    y = (m + ½) λ x / d

The first dark strip occurs for m = 0 and the third dark strip for m = 2. Let's find the distance for these and subtract it

 m = 0

      y₀ = (0+ ½) 480 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 0.27 10⁻³

      y₀ = 1.511 10⁻³ m

 m = 2

     y₂ = (2 + ½) 480 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 0.27 10⁻³

     y₂ = 7.556 10⁻³ m

The separation between these strips is Δy

     Δy = y₂-y₀

     Δy = (7.556 - 1.511) 10⁻³

     Δy = 6.045 10⁻³ m

     Δy = 6.05 mm

The number of moons a planet has orbiting around it is determined by...
Pavlova-9 [17]

We have no idea.  There are probably many things involved ... the planet's mass,
the availability of small bodies in the neighborhood that can be captured, etc.

A meter stick A hurtles through space at a speed v = 0.25c relative to you, with its length aligned with the direction of motion
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

L_0\approx1.0328\ m

Explanation:

Given:

  • relativistic length of stick A, L=1\ m
  • relativistic velocity of stick A with respect to observer, v=0.25c=7.5\times 10^{7}\ m.s^{-1}

<em>Since the object is moving with a velocity comparable to the velocity of light  with respect to the observer therefore the length will appear shorter according to the theory of relativity.</em>

<u> Mathematical expression of the theory of relativity for length contraction:</u>

L=\frac{L_0}{\gamma}

where:

L = relativistic length

L_0= original length at rest

\gamma = Lorentz factor =\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }

\Rightarrow 1=\frac{L_0}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.25c)^2}{c^2} } }}

L_0=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.25c)^2}{c^2} } }

L_0\approx1.0328\ m
