Answer:

1) Speed in m/s equals 22.22 m/s.

2) Speed in miles per hour equals 49.712 mph.

Explanation:

Since we know that in 1 kilometer there are 1000 meters and in 1 hour there are 3600 seconds hence we can write

80km/h=\frac{80\times 1000m}{3600s}=22.22m/s

Now we know that 1 mile equals 1.609 kilometer  hence we conclude that 1 kilometer equals \frac{1}{1.609}=0.6214mile

Hence

80km/h=\frac{80\times 0.6214miles}{1h}=49.712mph

A car starts from 0 m along a road and accelerates at 0.5 m/s^2 to the right. A second car starts from 1000 m along the road and
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

e) 31.6 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Equation of motion

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s_1=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 0.5\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s_1=\frac{1}{2}0.5t^2\ m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s_2=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 0.5\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s_2=\frac{1}{2}1.5t^2\ m

s_1+s_2=1000

\\\Rightarrow 1000=\frac{1}{2}0.5t^2+\frac{1}{2}1.5t^2\\\Rightarrow 1000=\frac{0.5t^2+1.5t^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow 1000=\frac{2t^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow 1000=t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{1000}\\\Rightarrow t=31.6\ s

Time taken by the cars to meet 31.6 seconds.

A 1.00-kg sample of steam at 100.0 °C condenses to water at 100.0 °C. What is the entropy change of the sample if the latent hea
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The entropy change of the sample of water =  6.059 x 10³ J/K.mol

Explanation:

Entropy: Entropy can be defined as the measure of the degree of disorder or randomness of a substance. The S.I unit of Entropy is J/K.mol

Mathematically, entropy is expressed as

ΔS = ΔH/T....................... Equation 1

Where ΔH = heat absorbed or evolved, T = absolute temperature.

<em>Given:  If 1 mole of water = 0.0018 kg,</em>

<em>ΔH = latent heat × mass = 2.26 x 10⁶ × 1 = 2.26x 10⁶ J.</em>

<em>T = 100 °C = (100+273)  K = 373 K.</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1,</em>

<em>ΔS =2.26x 10⁶/373</em>

ΔS = 6.059 x 10³ J/K.mol

Therefore the entropy change of the sample of water =  6.059 x 10³ J/K.mol

The density of the nugget is 19 g/cm^3 and is made of gold

Explanation:

The density of an object can be calculated as

d=\frac{m}{V}

where

d is the density

m is the mass

V is the volume of the object

We have to note that density of an object actually depends on the material the object is made of (therefore, two objects made of the same material can have different mass and different volume, but they have same density).

For the nugget in this problem, we have:

mass: m = 38 g

volume: V=2 cm^3

So, its density is

d=\frac{38}{2}=19 g/cm^3

And by looking at the table, we see that this value corresponds approximately to the density of gold, so the nugget is made of gold.

A technician wishes to determine the wavelength of the light in a laser beam. To do so, she directs the beam toward a partition
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

λ = 5.656 x 10⁻⁷ m = 565.6 nm

Explanation:

Using the formula of fringe spacing from the Young's Double Slit experiment, which is given as follows:

\Delta x = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\\lambda = \frac{\Delta x\ d}{L}

where,

λ = wavelength = ?

Δx = fringe spacing = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

L = Distance between slits and screen = 4.95 m

d = slit separation = 0.175 mm = 0.000175 m

Therefore,

\lambda = \frac{(0.016\ m)(0.000175\ m)}{4.95\ m}\\\\

<u>λ = 5.656 x 10⁻⁷ m = 565.6 nm</u>

Does every light source emit only one type of light?
blsea [12.9K]

Yes it is possible. Spectrum of emitted light depends upon the chemical composition of the source. and the way of its excitation. a clear example to us is that of sun.
