Answer: 2.4km

In this case, Murphy is <span>rowing to a place and come back so he was going 2x of the place distance. That means when he goes to the place the current velocity is helping him(5+1 kmph) and when he comes back the current velocity is slowing him(5-1kmph).
To calculate the place distance, the calculation would be:
X/6kmph + X/4kmph= 1 hour
</span>X/6kmph + 1.5X/6kmph= 1 hour
<span>2.5X/6kmph= 1hour
2.5X= 1 hour x 6km/ hour
X= 6km/2.5
X= 2.4km
</span>

The average threshold of dark-adapted (scotopic) vision is 4.00 10-11 W/m2 at a central wavelength of 500 nm. If light with this
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

E = h f = h c / λ     energy of single photon

n E = 4.00E-11 W/m^2       energy required for visibility

n h c / λ = 4.00E-11          number of photons required for visibility (per square meter)

n = 4.00E-11 * 5.00E-7 / (6.63E-34 * 3.00E8)

n = 20.0E-18 / 19.9 E-26 = 1.00E8

100 million photons would be required on 1 m^2 to create visibility

a / A = π * (3.6E-3)^2 / 1 = 4.07E-5     fraction of area available

4.07E-5 * 1.00E8 = 4.07E3  photons required

An ambulance is currently traveling at 15m/s, and is accelerating with a constant acceleration of 5 m/s^2. The ambulance is atte
Lorico [155]
  • initial velocity=15m/s=u
  • Acceleration=a=5m/s^2
  • Final velocity=v=30m/s
  • Distance be s

Using 3rd equation of kinematics

\\ \rm\longmapsto v^2-u^2=2as

\\ \rm\longmapsto s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

\\ \rm\longmapsto s=\dfrac{30^2-15^2}{2(5)}

\\ \rm\longmapsto s=\dfrac{900-225}{10}

\\ \rm\longmapsto s=\dfrac{675}{10}

\\ \rm\longmapsto s=67.5m

A golfer strikes her tee shot with the following velocities, vx = 106 m/s &amp; vy = 66.2 m/s. a. What is the velocity of flight
lara [203]

Answer:

a) V ≈ 125 m/s;  b) Δt = 13.24 s;  c) ΔS ≈ 1450 m

Explanation:

a) We have just to calculate the vector resultant.

V² = 106² + 66.2²

V² = 15618.44

V ≈ 125 m/s

b) The time of flight is equal to the time to reach the maximum height summed to the time to reach the land.

In vertical:

V = V₀ + a * t

V = 66.2 - g * t

0 = 66.2 - 9.8 * t

t ≈ 6.76 s

So: Δt = 13.24 s

c) In horizontal:

V = ΔS / Δt

106 = ΔS / 13.52  ⇒  ΔS = 106 * 13.52

ΔS = 106 * 13.52

ΔS = 1433,12

ΔS ≈ 1450 m

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Few millimeter thick aluminium, water, wood, acrylic glass or plastic.

Explanation:

The materials that are best for protection against beta particles are few millimeter thickness of aluminium, but for the high energy beta-particles radiations the low atomic mass materials such as plastic, wood, water and acrylic glass can be used.

These materials can also be used in personal protective equipment which includes all the clothing that can be worn to prevent any injury or illness due to the exposure to radiation.
