A man runs for an hour and a half at 8 miles an hour due south. He then continues south on a bus traveling at 55 miles an hour f

or 24 minutes. How far did he travel?

Answer:34 miles

Explanation:

Given

Man runs for t_1=1.5\ hr to south with speed v_1=8\ mph

He then continues south for t_2=24\ minutes\approx 0.4\ hr with speed v_2=55\ mph

Total distance traveled d=v_1\times t_1+v_2\times t_2

d=8\times 1.5+55\times 0.4

d=12+22

d=34\ miles

thus he travels a distance of 34\ miles due to south

A large rock of mass me materializes stationary at the orbit of Mercury and falls into the sun. Itf the Sun has a mass ms and ra
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The answer is v = \sqrt{2G\frac{M_s}{R^2}(R-r_s)}.

Explanation:

From the law of gravity,

F = G \frac{Mm}{r^2}

considering F as a conservative force, F = - \nabla U,

the general expression for gravitational potential energy is

U = -G \frac{Mm}{r},

where G is the gravitational constant, M and m are the mass of the attracting bodies, and r is the distance between their centers. The negative sign is because the force approaches zero for large distances, and we choose the zero of gravitational potential energy at an infinite distance away.

However, as the mass of the Sun is much greater than the mass of the rock, the gravitational acceleration is defined as

g = -G \frac{M}{r^2},

(the negative sign indicates that the force is an attractive force), and the potential energy between the rock and the Sun is

U = g M_e R,

which is actually the total energy of the system, because the rock materializes stationary at this point (there is no radial kinetic energy).

When the rock hits the surface of the Sun, almost all potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, but not all because the Sun is not a puntual mass. So the potential energy converted to kinetic energy is

U_p = g M_e(R- r_s),

then, the kinetik energy when the rock hits the surface is

U_k =\frac{1}{2}M_e v^2 = g M_e(R- r_s),

so

v = \sqrt{2g(R-r_s)}

where g is the gravitational acceleration generated by the Sun at R,

g = G \frac{M_s}{R^2}.

What is the energy of a single photon of visible light with a wavelength of 500.0 nm? 1 nm=10^−9 m
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

3.97×10^−19 J

From the planks equation

E=hv

V= c/ wave length

V= 3×10^8/500×10^-9

=6×10^14

E= hv

6.63×10^-34×6×10^14

= 3.97×10^−19 J

Consider two diffraction gratings. One grating has 3000 lines per cm, and the other one has 6000 lines per cm. Both gratings are
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

<em>The 6000 lines per cm grating, will produces the greater dispersion .</em>

Explanation:

A diffraction grating is an optical component with a periodic (usually one  that has ridges or rulings on their surface rather than dark lines) structure that splits and diffracts light into several beams travelling in different directions.

The directions of the light beam produced from a diffraction grating depend on the spacing of the grating, and also on the wavelength of the light.

For a plane diffraction grating, the angular positions of principle maxima is given by

(a + b) sin ∅n = nλ

where

a+b is the distance between two consecutive slits

n is the order of principal maxima

λ is the wavelength of the light

From the equation, we can see that without sin ∅ exceeding 1, increasing the number of lines per cm will lead to a decrease between the spacing between consecutive slits.

In this case, light of the same wavelength is used. If λ and n is held constant, then we'll see that reducing the distance between two consecutive slits (a + b) will lead to an increase in the angle of dispersion sin ∅. So long as the limit of sin ∅ not greater that one is maintained.

When you rub a plastic rod with fur, the plastic rod becomes negatively charged and the fur becomes positively charged. As a con
Yuri [45]

Answer: C. the rod gains mass and the fur loses mass.

Explanation:Atomic particles have mass. The electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton and with exchange exchange of charge this is also factored in. The movement of effect described above is known as the triboelectic charging process—charging by friction—which results in a transfer of electrons between the two objects when they are rubbed together. Plastic having a much greater affinity for electrons than animal fur pulls electrons from the atoms of fur, leaving both objects with an imbalance of charge. The plastic rod would have an excess of electrons and the fur has a shortage of electrons. Having an excess of electrons, the plastic is charged negatively and has more mass. In the same vein, the shortage of electrons on the fur leaves it with a positive charge and consequently with lesser mass.
