Explanation:

A small piece of energy is called as Electron. It cannot be broken down further into smaller pieces. Photon is a basic unit of light. Photons always travel. They are in a continuous motion. So when electron needs energy, They absorb light. The light is absorbed or emitted in the form of photons. Each photon contains energy which is absorbed by the electron to gain its energy. After absorbing the photon, electron moves towards a higher energy level. So when an electron absorbs a photon, energy is gained by the electron.

A professional racecar driver buys a car that can accelerate at 5.9 m/s2. The racer decides to race against another driver in a

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

(a) Time will be t = 3.56 sec

(b) Distance traveled by car when they are side by side is 37.38712 m

(b) Velocity of race car = 21.004 m/sec

velocity of stock car = 12.816 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given acceleration of the car $a_1=5.9m/sec^2$

Acceleration of the stock car $a_2=3.6m/sec^2$

When 1st car overtakes the second car then distance traveled by both the car will be same

(a) So $s_1=s_2$

As both car starts from rest so initial velocity of both car will be 0 m/sec

It is given that stock car leaves 1 sec before

So $\frac{1}{2}\times 5.9\times t^2=\frac{1}{2}\times (t+1)^2\times 3.6$

After solving t = 3.56 sec

(b) From second equation of motion $s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3.56+\frac{1}{2}\times 5.9\times 3.56^2=37.38712m$

So velocity of race car v = 0+5.9×3.56 = 21.004 m/sec

Velocity of stock car v = 0+ 3.6×3.56 = 12.816 m/sec

Write a 150-word paragraph or two that describes at least three everyday things that exist or occur because of science.

Zarrin [17]

You were able to access the internet to post this question because of science. Medicine or vitamin supplements you take are a result of science. You use soap to wash your hands because of our understanding of how germs work, which is science. Practically anything you can think of has come about through the achievements of science. Image formation (due to phenomenon of reflection). Mirage (Its a everyday thing in deserts due to refraction) 

Dispersion of light (Color recognition by our eyes due to dispersion). Three actual everyday occurence that are created through science are Nuclear power. Antibiotc Drugs- to give some merit to the above three, laser light
