Answer:

4 seconds - Not practical

Explanation:

Length of the truck = 50'

Initial distance behind the truck = 30'

Finish Pass = 50' ahead of truck ,

Pass at =  60mph -- about 3.375 seconds.

- 70mph your closing speed is 130mph.  

If you were less than a 1/4 mile away when you tried the pass you will be dead.

That would be a quick pass.  You will probably want a mile beyond the oncoming traffic.

A proton moves at constant velocity in the direction, through a region in which there is an electric field and a magnetic field.
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

F_{net}=0

Explanation:

It is given that, a proton moves at constant velocity, through a region in which there is an electric field and a magnetic field such that,

The electric field is, E = 800 V/m

Magnetic field, B = 0.25 T

We know that the net force in the region of magnetic and electric field is given by Lorentz forces. But here, the proton moves with constant velocity. So, the net force acting on it is 0.

i.e.

F_{net}=0

Hence, this is the required solution.

Explain the different methods that can be used to model the motion of an object.
Simora [160]

Answer:

You can describe the motion of an object by its position, speed, direction, and acceleration. An object is moving if its position relative to a fixed point is changing. idk if this helps.

(a) How many fringes appear between the first diffraction-envelope minima to either side of the central maximum in a double-slit
Ainat [17]

Answer:

a

The number of fringe is  z  = 3 fringes

b

The  ratio is I = 0.2545I_o

Explanation:

a

 From the question we are told that

        The wavelength is  \lambda = 600 nm

        The distance between the slit is  d = 0.117mm = 0.117 *10^{-3} m

        The width of the slit is  a = 35.7 \mu m = 35.7 *10^{-6}m

let  z be the number of fringes that appear between the first diffraction-envelope minima to either side of the central maximum in a double-slit pattern is  and this mathematically represented as

             z = \frac{d}{a}

Substituting values

             z = \frac{0.117*10^{-3}}{35.7 *10^{-6}}  

             z  = 3 fringes

b

   From the question  we are told that the order  of the bright fringe is  n = 3

   Generally the intensity of  a pattern  is mathematically represented as

                 I = I_o cos^2 [\frac{\pi d sin \theta}{\lambda} ][\frac{sin (\pi a sin \frac{\theta}{\lambda } )}{\pi a sin \frac{\theta}{\lambda} } ]

Where I_o is the intensity  of the  central fringe

 And  Generally  sin \theta = \frac{n \lambda }{d}

               I = I_o co^2 [ \frac{\pi (\frac{n \lambda}{d} )}{\lambda} ] [\frac{\frac{sin (\pi a (\frac{n \lambda}{d} ))}{\lambda} }{\frac{\pi a (\frac{n \lambda}{d} )}{\lambda} } ]

               I = I_o cos^2 (n \pi)[\frac{\frac{sin(\pi a (\frac{n \lambda}{d} ))}{\lambda} )}{ \frac{ \pi a (\frac{n \lambda }{d} )}{\lambda} } ]

               I = I_o cos^2 (3 \pi) [\frac{sin (\frac{3 \pi }{6} )}{\frac{3 \pi}{6} } ]

                I = I_o (1)(0.2545)

                  I = 0.2545I_o

Write an expression for a harmonic wave with an amplitude of 0.19 m, a wavelength of 2.6 m, and a period of 1.2 s. The wave is t
zlopas [31]

Answer:

y = 0.19 sin(5.23 t - 2.42x + \frac{\pi}{2})

Explanation:

As we know that the wave equation is given as

y = A sin(\omega t - k x + \phi_0)

now we have

A = 0.19 m

\lambda = 2.6 m

so we have

k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}

k = \frac{2\pi}{2.6}

k = 2.42  per m

also we have

T = 1.2 s

so we have

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{1.2}

\omega = 5.23 rad/s

now we know that at t = 0 and x = 0 wave is at y = 0.19 m

so we have

\phi_0 = \frac{\pi}{2}

so we have

y = 0.19 sin(5.23 t - 2.42x + \frac{\pi}{2})
