Answer:

2000years

Explanation:

We will either convert the distance to centimeters or speed to meters/second.

Converting distance to centimeters: 100 meters= 100*100centimeters =10000centimeters.

time=distance/speed

t=10000/5=2000 years

a gym consists of a rectangular region with a semi-circle on each end. if the perimeter of the room is to be a 200 m running tra
Nikolay [14]

The dimensions of the rectangle are:

l = 50 m

b = 100/\pi m

<h3>What is a perimeter in math?</h3>

The perimeter is the length of the outline of a shape. To find the perimeter of a rectangle or square you have to add the lengths of all the four sides.

<h3>How do we find a perimeter of a rectangle?</h3>

The perimeter of a rectangle,denoted by P is given by the formula, P=2l+2b, where l is the length and b is the breadth of the rectangle.

<h3>Given:</h3>

As per the question:

Perimeter of the room is given as P = 200 m

The region is rectangular having a semicircle at each end.

Now,

Let 'l' be the length of the rectangle, 'b' be its breadth and 'r' be the radius of the semi-circle at each end.

Then, Area of the given rectangle, A = lb

Perimeter of the room, P is =\pi r+l+\pi r+l=2\pi r+2l=\pi b+2l

Therefore,  \pi b+2l=200

b=(200-2l)/\pi

Now,

Area, A = l(200-2l)/\pi=(200l-2l^{2} )/\pi

Now, differentiate A w.r.t l:

Again differentiating w.r.t 'l', we get:

d^{2} A/dl^{2} =-4l/\pi< 0

Thus we get maximum are when dA/dl=0

Therefore,

(200-4l)/\pi=0

l = 50 m

Now, from

\pi b+2l=200

\pi b=200-2*50

b=100/\pi

r=b/2=50/\pi

The most precise measurement of the speed of light in vacuum is 299,792,458 m/s. Which of the following values would you use to
Luda [366]

Answer:

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of light in vacuum = 299,792,458 m/s

speed of light in scientific notation to three significant figures

v = 2.99792458  x  10⁸ m/s

by rounding off the speed to three significant figure.

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

On the fourth place the value is greater than 5 so, on the third place 1 will be added.

now, the speed with three significant figure comes out to be

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

A resistor, an inductor, and a switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. Suppose at f
Airida [17]

Answer:

c. The steady-state value of the current depends on the resistance of the resistor.

Explanation:

Since all the components are connected in series, when the switch is at first open, current will not flow round the circuit. As current needs to flow through from the positive terminal of the battery through the resistor, inductor, and  switch to the negative terminal of the battery.

But the moment the switch is closed, at the initial time t = 0, the current flow through from the positive terminal of the battery through the resistor, inductor, and switch to the negative terminal of the battery. It then begins to increase at a rate that depends upon the value of the inductance of the inductor.

Light travels faster in warmer air. On a sunny day, the sun can heat a road and create a layer of hot air above it. Let's model
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Explanation:

If we assume there is a sharp boundary between the two masses of air, there will be a refraction. The refractive index of each medium will depend on the relative speeds of light.

n = c / v

If light travels faster in warmer air, it will have a lower refractive index

nh < nc

Snell's law of refraction relates angles of incidence and refracted with the indexes of refraction:

n1 * sin(θ1) = n2 * sin(θ2)

sin(θ2) = sin(θ1) * n1/n2

If blue light from the sky passing through the hot air will cross to the cold air, then

n1 = nh

n2 = nc

Then:

n1 < n2

So:

n1/n2 < 1

The refracted light will come into the cold air at angle θ2 wich will be smaller than θ1, so the light is bent upwards, creating the appearance of water in the distance, which is actually a mirror image of the sky.

10. Calculate the kinetic energy of a running back that has a mass of 80 kg and
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>2560 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object given it's mass and velocity can be found by using the formula

KE =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question

m = 80 kg

v = 8 m/s

The kinetic energy is

KE =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 80 \times  {8}^{2}  \\  = 40 \times 64

We have the final answer as

<h3>2560 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
