The time taken to complete her run is 1.9 hr.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Speed is a scalar quantity and it is defined as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to cover that distance. As distance is also a scalar quantity, so the directions given in the problem can be ignored. Thus, the distance covered by the jogger is the sum of kilometers given in problem.

Distance covered = 6+5+4 = 15 km

And the speed is given as 8 km/hr.

So the time taken will be ratio of distance to speed.

$\text { time }=\frac{\text {distance}}{\text {speed}}=\frac{15}{8}=1.9 \text { hour }$

So the jogger will take 1.9 hr to complete her run.

An atom emits a light wave with a wavelength of 449 nm. what type or color of light does this represent?

Vinvika [58]

The visible spectrum ranges from 390 nm to 700 nm. the visible spectrum consist of the red ( 620 - 750 nm ) , orange ( 590 - 620 nm ) , yellow ( 570 - 590 nm ) , green ( 495 - 570 nm ) , blue ( 450 - 495 nm ) and violet ( 380 - 450 nm ) so the wave length 449 nm will produce a violet color

A certain capacitor, in series with a resistor, is being charged. At the end of 10 ms its charge is half the final value. The ti

vichka [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the expression of charge per unit of time in a capacitor with a given resistance. Mathematically said expression is given as

$q(t) = e^{-\frac{t}{(R*C)}}$

Here,

q = Charge

t = Time

R = Resistance

C = Capacitance

When the charge reach its half value it has passed 10ms, then the equation is,

$\frac{1}{2}*q_{final} = e^{-\frac{0.01}{(R*C)}}$

$Ln(\frac{1}{2}) = -\frac{0.01}{RC}$

$- RC = \frac{0.01}{Ln(1/2)}$

$RC = 0.014s$

We know that RC is equal to the time constant, then

$T = RC = 0.014s = 14ms$

Therefore the time constant for the process is about 14ms

Which has more momentum, a speeding baseball or an ocean liner at rest in a harbor?

uranmaximum [27]

Momentum is (mass) times (speed), so nothing that is at rest has any momentum. If the battleship is at rest, then a mosquito in flight, a leaf falling from a tree, and your speedy baseball each have more momentum than the ship has.

o-na [289]

Answer:

Vf = 14.7 m/s

Explanation:

Vf² = Vi² + 2 * a * Δy

given:

a = 9.81 m/s²

Δy = 11m

Vi = 0 when upon release

Vf² = 0 + 2 (9.81) 11

Vf = 14.7 m/s
