In my opinion, the correct answer is the first one, 'the cumulative nature of modern knowledge of physics'. He is trying to say here that it is the overall knowledge of physics and of his predecessors that has helped him become the greatness that he is today.

A sprinter starts from rest and reaches a speed of 15 m/s in 4.25 s. Find his acceleration
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

a=3.53 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vo=0 m/s (because he is not moving at the start)

V1=15 m/s

t= 4.25 s

a = (V1-Vo) / t = 15/4.25 = 3.53 m/s^2

A red laser beam goes from crown glass with refraction index n=1.3 to air (n=1) with an incident angle of 0.23 radians. What is
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

   θ = 10.28º

Explanation:

To find the angle of refraction use the equation of refraction

        n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where index 1 is for incident light and index 2 is for refracted light.

         sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ

let's calculate

         sin = 1 / 1.3 sin 0.23

         sin = 0.175

        θ= 0.17528 rad

let's reduce to degrees

       θ = 0.17528 rad (180ª / pi rad)

       θ = 10.28º

Friction provides the force needed for a car to travel around a flat, circular race track. What is the maximum speed at which a
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Maximum speed of the car is 17.37 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the circular track, r = 79 m

The coefficient of friction, \mu=0.39

To find,

The maximum speed of car.

Solution,

Let v is the maximum speed of the car at which it can safely travel. It can be calculated by balancing the centripetal force and the gravitational force acting on it as :

v=\sqrt{\mu rg}

v=\sqrt{0.39\times 79\times 9.8}

v = 17.37 m/s

So, the maximum speed of the car is 17.37 m/s.

Interactive LearningWare 10.1 reviews the concepts involved in this problem. A spring stretches by 0.0161 m when a 3.74-kg objec
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

m = 3.91 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 3.74 kg

Stretching in the spring, x = 0.0161 m

The frequency of vibration, f = 3.84 Hz

When the object is suspended, the gravitational force is balanced by the spring force as :

mg=kx

k=\dfrac{mg}{x}

k=\dfrac{3.74\times 9.8}{0.0161}

k = 2276.52 N/m

The frequency of vibration is given by :

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

m=\dfrac{k}{4\pi^2f^2}

m=\dfrac{2276.52}{4\pi^2\times (3.84)^2}

m = 3.91 kg

So, the mass of the object is 3.91 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.
