Answer:

Yes, the car driver is exceeding the given limit.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Speed of the car, v = 38.0 m/s.
  • Speed limit of the highway, \rm v_o=75.0\ mi/h.

<h2><u>Converting the speed limit from mi/h to m/s:</u></h2>

We know,

1 mi = 1.60934 km.

1 km = 1000 m.

Therefore, 1 mi = 1.60934 × 1000 m = 1609.34 m.

1 hour = 60 minutes.

1 minute = 60 seconds.

Therefore, 1 hour = 60 × 60 seconds = 3600 seconds.

Using these values,

\rm 1\ \dfrac{mi}{h}=\dfrac{1609.34\ m}{3600\ s}=0.447\ m/s.

Therefore,

\rm v_o = 75.0\ mi/h=75.0\times 0.447=33.52\ m/s.

Clearly,

\rm v_o

which means, the car driver is exceeding the given speed limit.

At a distance of 11 cm from a presumably isotropic, radioactive source, a pair of students measure 65 cps (cps = counts per seco
Alborosie

To solve the problem, it is necessary the concepts related to the definition of area in a sphere, and the proportionality of the counts per second between the two distances.

The area with a certain radius and the number of counts per second is proportional to another with a greater or lesser radius, in other words,

A_1*m=M*A_2

A_i =Area

M,m = Counts per second

Our radios are given by

r_1 = 11cm

R_2 = 20cm

m = 65cps

Therefore replacing we have that,

A_1*m=M*A_2

4\pi r_1^2*m = M * 4\pi R_2^2 M

r^2*m=MR^2

M = \frac{m*r^2}{R^2}

M = \frac{65*11^2}{20^2}

M = 19.6625cps

Therefore the number of counts expect at a distance of 20 cm is 19.66cps
