The average speed is 615.7 mph (275.2 m/s)

Explanation:

The average speed of an object gives a measure of how fast an object is moving over a certain time interval. It is a scalar quantity, and it is calculated as follows

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

v is the average speed

d is the distance covered

t is the time interval

For the jet in this problem, we have:

d = 1293 mi is the distance covered

t = 2.1 h is the time interval

Therefore, the average speed is:

$v=\frac{1293}{2.1}=615.7 mph$

We can also convert into SI units (m/s), keeping in mind that:

$1 mi = 1609 m\\1 h = 3600 s$

And so

$v=615.7 \frac{mi}{h}\cdot \frac{1609 m/mi}{3600 s/h}=275.2 m/s$

As an admirer of Thomas Young, you perform a double-slit experiment in his honor. You set your slits 1.15 mm apart and position

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The distance of the first bright fringe is given as $Y_C = 1.22 *10^{-3}m$

The distance of the second dark fringe from the central bright fringe is given as $Y_D = 0.00192 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The slit separation distance is $d = 1.15 mm = \frac{1.15}{1000} =0.00115 m$

The distance of the slit from the screen is $D = 3.23 m$

The wavelength is $\lambda = 633 nm$

For constructive interference to occur the distance between the two slit is mathematically represented as

$Y_C =\frac{m \lambda D}{d}$

Where m is the order of the fringe which has a value of 1 for first bright fringe

Substituting values

$Y_C = \frac{1 * 633 *0^{-9} * 3.23}{0.00115}$

$Y_C = 1.22 *10^{-3}m$

For destructive interference to occur the distance between the two slit is mathematically represented as

$Y_D = [n + \frac{1}{2} ] \frac{\lambda D}{d}$

m = 2

so the formula to get the dark fringe is $n = \frac{1}{2} * 1$

$n=1$

Now substituting values

$Y_D = [ 1 + \frac{1}{2} ] * \frac{633 *10^{-9} * 3.23 }{0.00115}$

$Y_D =1.5 * \frac{633 *10^{-9} * 3.23 }{0.00115}$

$Y_D = 0.00192 \ m$

One of two 25-year-old identical twins begins a trip on a spaceship traveling at 0.8 c while her twin remains on Earth. The twin

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

This equation is based on twin paradox - a phenomena where one of the twin travels to space at a speed close to speed of light and the other remains on earth. the twin from the space on return discovers that the one on earth age faster.

Solution:

$t_{o}$ = 10 years

v = 0.8c

c = speed of light in vacuum

The problem can be solved by time dilation equation:

$t = \frac{t_{o}}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$ (1)

where,

t = time observed from a different inertial frame

Now, using eqn (1), we get:

$t = \frac{10}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.8c)^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

t = 16.67 years

The age of the twin on spaceship according to the one on earth = 25+16.67 =41.66 years

You add 800 ml of water at 20c to 800 ml of water at 80c what is the most likely final temperature of the mixture ?

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

d. 50 C

Explanation:

In this problem, we have to add 800 ml of water at 20 Celsius to 800 ml of water at 80 Celsius.

According to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, heat transfers from hot to cold temperature.

The quantity of both the different waters is equal so this makes it very easy. All we have to do is find the mean of both the temperatures:

Final temperature = (20 C + 80 C)/2

= 50 Celsius
