when an object drops it accelerates at 9.8 mps so at 3 seconds the equation would be 9.8x3 which equals 29.4

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² .  That means that a falling object
is always falling 9.8 m/s faster than it was falling 1 second earlier.

If an object is not slowed by air resistance, and has far enough to go
so that it's still falling after three whole seconds, then at the end of
three seconds it's falling at

           (9.8 m/s²) x (3 sec)  =  29.4 m/s

A reconnaissance plane flies 404 km awayfrom its base at 730 m/s, then flies back to its base at 1095 m/s.What is it’s average s
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The average speed of the plane is 875.999 m/s.

Average speed can be defined as the ratio of total distanced travelled by the object to that of total time taken to cover the distance.

Mathematically, Average speed = Av = \frac{Total Distance}{Total Time}

According to the question,

Speed of the plane away from its base V₁ = 730 m/s

Speed of the plane when it flies back V₂ = 1095 m/s

Plane flies the distance D = 404 km

Total Distance covered by the plane S = 404 * 2 km

(because the distance travelled by the plane when going away from the base and then flying back to the base is same)

Therefore S = 808 km = 808 ˣ 10³ m

Time taken by the plane while flying away from the base T₁ = \frac{D}{V1}

T₁ =  \frac{404000}{730} = 553.425 s

Time taken by the plane while flying back to the base T₂ = \frac{D}{V2}

T₂ =  \frac{404000}{1095} = 368.949s

Total Time T = T₁ + T₂ = 922.375 s

Therefore  Av = \frac{Total Distance}{Total Time}

= \frac{D}{T} m/s

=  \frac{808000}{922.375}  m/s

= 875.999 m/s

The average speed of the plane will be 875.999 m/s.

A tank of gasoline (n = 1.40) is open to the air (n = 1.00). A thin film of liquid floats on the gasoline and has a refractive i
klio [65]

Answer:

1.08

Explanation:

This is the case of interference in thin films in which interference bands are formed due to constructive interference of two reflected light waves , one from upper layer and the other from lower layer . If t be the thickness and μ be the refractive index then

path difference created will be 2μ t.

For light coming from rarer to denser medium , a phase change of π occurs additionally after reflection from denser medium, here, two times, once from upper layer and then from the lower layer ,  so for constructive interference

path diff = nλ , for minimum t , n =1

path diff = λ

2μ t. =  λ

μ = λ / 2t

= 626 / 2 x 290

= 1.08
