Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).
Distance covered = 437 km = 437,000 meters
Time to cover the distance = (7.27 hrs) x (3600 sec/hr) = 26,172 seconds
Average speed = (437,000 meters) / (26,172 seconds)
Average speed = 16.7 m/s
Answer:
laser's wavelength λ = 597.4 nm
Explanation:
Given:
Slit spacing, d = 1.17mm
Tenth bright fringe y = 4.57cm
Distance from slits, D = 8.95m
n = 10
λ = (d * y) / (D * n)
λ = (1.17x10⁻³ * 4.57x10⁻²) / (8.95 x 10)
λ = 5.3469x10⁻⁵ / 8.95x10¹
λ = 0.5974 x 10⁻⁵⁻¹
λ = 0.5974 x 10⁻⁶ m
λ = 597.4 x 10⁻⁹ m
λ = 597.4 nm
Time = distance/speed, as you surely know. About the scientific notation, you just need to express the result as a number with one digit and the rest in decimal places with 10^... I can't see the exponents in your question and it's late here. Good luck! For instance, 6.434*10^3 ... I recall it takes about 5 hours, so you should get there, so about 5 * 3600 = 18000 seconds. Nice!
