Answer:

Time taken, t = 50 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance covered by the runner, d = 400 m

Average speed of the runner, v = 8 m/s

Let t is the time taken by the runner to complete the race. It can be calculated using the concept of average velocity. The total distance covered divided by total time is called average speed of the runner as :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{400\ m}{8\ m/s}

t = 50 seconds

So, the time taken by the runner to complete the race is 50 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

D = 400 m
v = 8m/s
t = ?
 v=d/t
t= d/v
t= 400/8
t= 50s

Firecrackers A and B are 600 m apart. You are standing exactly halfway between them. Your lab partner is 300 m on the other side
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

Given:

Distance of Firecrackers A and B = 600 m

Event 1 = firecracker 1 explodes

Event 2 = firecracker 2 explodes

Distance of lab partner from cracker A = 300 m

You observe the explosions at the same time

to find:

does event 1 occur before, after, or at the same time as event 2?

Solution:

Since the lab partner is at 300 m distance from the firecracker A and Firecrackers A and B are 600 m apart

So the distance of fire cracker B from the lab partner is:

600 m  + 300 m = 900 m

It takes longer for the light from the more distant firecracker to reach so

Let T1 represents the time taken for light from firecracker A to reach lab partner

T1 = 300/c

It is 300 because lab partner is 300 m on other side of firecracker A

Let T2 represents the time taken for light from firecracker B to reach lab partner

T2 = 900/c

It is 900 because lab partner is 900 m on other side of firecracker B

T2 = T1

900 = 300

900 = 3(300)

T2 = 3(T1)

Hence lab partner observes the explosion of the firecracker A before the explosion of firecracker B.

Since event 1 = firecracker 1 explodes and event 2 = firecracker 2 explodes

So this concludes that lab partner sees event 1 occur first and lab partner is smart enough to correct for the travel time of light and conclude that the events occur at the same time.

How do noise canceling headphones work?
postnew [5]

Answer:

B.) by interfering with sound waves

Explanation:

As we know that the interference of sound waves is of two types

1). constructive interference

2). destructive interference

now we know that constructive interference means the resultant intensity will be more than the intensity of interfering waves as here two waves are in same phase.

In destructive interference the resultant of two waves is given by the minimum resultant of the intensity as here the phase of two waves are opposite to each other.

So we will say that

I = \sqrt{(I_1 + I_2 + 2\sqrt{I_1I_2}cos\theta)}

here in case of noise cancelling headphones we know that the phase of noise is always made in opposite phase with the sound which is used to cancelled the noise.

This will reduce the noise and we will get a clear sound

J.J. Thomson discovered the electron by noticing that: A. molecules with the same atoms exhibited the same chemical properties.
GenaCL600 [577]

J.J. Thomson discovered the electron by noticing that a beam of particles could be influenced by an electric or magnetic force.. That is option B.

<h3>What is an electron?</h3>

An electron can be defined as the part of an atom that is negatively charged and is found revolving round the nucleus of an atom.

J.J. Thomson was the scientist that discovered electrons through subjecting two oppositely-charged electric plates around the cathode ray.

He noticed that the particles where deflected by both the magnetic and electric fields.

During the first 6 years of its operation, the Hubble Space Telescope circled the Earth 37,000 times, for a total of 1,280,000,0
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

v = 384km/min

Explanation:

In order to calculate the speed of the Hubble space telescope, you first calculate the distance that Hubble travels for one orbit.

You know that 37000 times the orbit of Hubble are 1,280,000,000 km. Then, for one orbit you have:

d=\frac{1,280,000,000km}{37,000}=34,594.59km

You know that one orbit is completed by Hubble on 90 min. You use the following formula to calculate the speed:

v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{34,594.59km}{90min}=384.38\frac{km}{min}\approx384\frac{km}{min}

hence, the speed of the Hubble is approximately 384km/min
