Answer:

(a) t = 1.67 s

(b) s₂ = 45 m

Explanation:

Here, we use the formula:

s = vt

FOR Seth:

s₁ = v₁t₁

where,

s₁ = distance covered by Seth

v₁ = speed of Seth = 9 m/s

t₁ = time taken by Seth

FOR Mack:

s₂ = v₂t₂

where,

s₂ = distance covered by Mack

v₂ = speed of Mack = 27 m/s

t₂ = time taken by Mack

since, initially Mack is 30 m behind Seth. Therefore,

(a)

s₂ = s₁ + 30 m

using formulae:

v₂t₂ = v₁t₁ + 30 m

but, the time of catching is same for both (t₁ = t₂ = t)

v₂t = v₁t + 30 m

using values:

(27 m/s)t - (9 m/s)t = 30 m

t = (30 m)/(18 m/s)

t = 1.67 s

(b)

s₂ = v₂t

using values:

s₂ = (27 m/s)(1.67 s)

s₂ = 45 m

Why do astronomers use spectroscopes to analyze light from distant objects?

RoseWind [281]

Spectroscopy — the use of light from a distant object to work out the object is made of — could be the single-most powerful tool astronomers use, says Professor Fred Watson from the Australian Astronomical Observatory. ... "It lets you see the chemicals being absorbed or emitted by the light source.

g How many diffraction maxima are contained in a region of the Fraunhofer single-slit pattern, subtending an angle of 2.12°, for

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that in the Fraunhofer single-slit pattern,

maxima is given by

$a\text{sin}\theta=\frac{2N+1}{2}\lambda$

Given values

θ=2.12°

slit width a= 0.110 mm.

wavelength λ= 582 nm

Now plugging values to calculate N we get

$0.110\times10^{-3}\text{sin}2.12=(\frac{2N+1}{2})582\times10^{-9}$

Solving the above equation we get

we N= 2.313≅ 2

Which value is most likely to be the pH of a salt that is formed by the reaction of a strong acid and a weak base?

Mice21 [21]

In a hydrolysis reaction between a strong acid and a weak base, the salt formed will have a pH less than 7. By virtue of this phenomenon between weak bases and strong acids, the anion of the strong acid will fail to attract the hydrogen ion, while the cation from the weak base will donate a proton to the water forming a hydronium ion.

A cheetah can run at a maximum speed 97.8 km/h and a gazelle can run at a maximum speed of 78.2 km/h. If both animals are runnin

emmainna [20.7K]

(1)

Cheetah speed: $v_c = 97.8 km/h=27.2 m/s$

Its position at time t is given by

$S_c (t)= v_c t$ (1)

Gazelle speed: $v_g = 78.2 km/h=21.7 m/s$

the gazelle starts S0=96.8 m ahead, therefore its position at time t is given by

$S_g(t)=S_0 +v_g t$ (2)

The cheetah reaches the gazelle when $S_c=S_g$ . Therefore, equalizing (1) and (2) and solving for t, we find the time the cheetah needs to catch the gazelle:
