How many nanoseconds does it take light to travel 1.00 ft in vacuum? (This result is a useful quantity to remember.)

Svetach [21]2 years ago

To solve this problem, we will define speed as the amount of distance traveled per unit of time. We will clear the value of time and in parallel we will convert the Units to an international system to facilitate the calculation since we know the speed of light in a vacuum. The speed defined in terms of distance and time would be

v = \frac{x}{t} \rightarrow t = \frac{d}{v}

The speed of light in a vacuum is  3 * 10 ^ 8m / s and 1ft is equivalent to 0.3048m, so the estimated time would be

t = \frac{d}{v}

t = \frac{0.3048m}{3*10^8m/s}

t = 1.02*10^{-9}s

We know that 1 second is equivalent to 10 ^ 9ns, therefore

t =  1.02*10^{-9}s (\frac{10^9ns}{1s})

t = 1.02ns

Therefore the time is 1.02ns

How is the volume flow rate of water out of the tank, dVdt, related to the flow speed v ? Express your answer in terms of some,
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

\frac{dV}{dt}= \frac{\pi d^2}{4}v

Explanation:

The rate of volume flow out of tank can be expressed as:

\frac{dV}{dt} = A\frac{dL}{dt}

where,

dV/dt = Volume flow rate

A = Cross-sectional area of outlet = πd²/4

d = diameter of circular outlet

dL = Displacement covered by water

dt = time taken

but we know that:

Velocity = υ = displacement/time = dL/dt

Substituting the values of "dL/dt" and "A" in the equation, we get:

\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}v

This is the expression for volume flow rate dV/dt, on terms pf v, d.

A student wearing frictionless in-line skates on a horizontal surface is pushed, starting from rest, by a friend with a constant
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Physics

Explanation:

Explanation:

We can use the Theorem of Work (W) and Kinetic Energy (K):

W=ΔK=Kf−Ki

it basically tells us that the work done on our system will show up as change in Kinetic Energy:

We know that the initial Kinetic Energy, Ki=12mv2i, is zero (starting from rest) while the final will be equal to 352J; Work will be force time displacement. so we get:

F⋅d=Ff

45d=352

and so:

d=35245=7.8≈8m
