A gnat takes off from one end of a pencil and flies around erratically for 41.641.6 s before landing on the other end of the sam

e pencil. If the gnat flew a total distance of 6.656.65 m, and the pencil is 0.04630.0463 m long, find the gnat's average speed and the magnitude of the gnat's average velocity.

Answer:

average speed  is 0.159 m/s

average velocity = 0.0011 m/s

Explanation:

given data

time = 41.6 s

total distance = 6.65 m

length = 0.0463 m

to find out

average speed and the magnitude average velocity

solution

we know average speed formula is

average speed = \frac{total distance}{total time}   ...............1

put here value

average speed = \frac{6.65}{41.6}

average speed  is 0.159 m/s

and

average velocity formula is

average velocity = \frac{displacement}{total time}   ...............2

here displacement is initial point to final point and here is 0.0463 m

put here value

average velocity = \frac{0.0463}{41.6}

average velocity = 0.0011 m/s

A light year is defined as the distance that light can travel in 1 year. What is the value of 1 light year in meter? Show your c
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

d=9.462×10^15 meters

Explanation:

<u>Relation between distance, temps and velocity:</u>

d=v*t

t=1year*(365days/1year)*/(24hours/1day)*(3600s/1h)=31536000s

So:

1 light year=d=3*10^8m/s*3.154*10^7s=9.462×10^15 meters

In a double-slit experiment, light from two monochromatic light sources passes through the same double slit. The light from the
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The wavelength is \lambda_2 =  534 *10^{-9} \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The wavelength of the first light is  \lambda _ 1 =  587 \ nm

    The order of the first light that is being considered is  m_1  =  10

     The order of the second light that is being considered is  m_2  =  11

Generally the distance between the fringes for the first light is mathematically represented as

      y_1 =  \frac{ m_1  * \lambda_1 *  D}{d}

 Here  D is the distance from the screen

 and    d  is the distance of separation of the slit.

      For the second light the distance between the fringes is  mathematically represented as

         y_2 =  \frac{ m_2  * \lambda_2 *  D}{d}

Now given that both of the light are passed through the same double slit

       \frac{y_1}{y_2}  =  \frac{\frac{m_1 *  \lambda_1 * D}{d}  }{\frac{m_2 *  \lambda_2 * D}{d}  } = 1

=>    \frac{ m_1 *  \lambda _1  }{ m_2  *  \lambda_2} =  1

=>     \lambda_2 =  \frac{m_1 *  \lambda_1}{m_2}

=>    \lambda_2 =  \frac{10  *   587 *10^{-9}}{11}

=>   \lambda_2 =  534 *10^{-9} \ m

Betelgeuse is how many times larger than the sun
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Betelgeuse is one of the largest known stars and is probably at least the size of the orbits of Mars or Jupiter around the sun. That's a diameter about 700 times the size of the Sun or 600 million miles. For a star it has a rather low surface temperature (6000 F compared to the Sun's 10,000 F).
