Answer:

The runner's speed at the following times would remain 8.64 m/s.

Explanation:

Acceleration definition: Acceleration is rate of change in velocity of an object with respect to time.

In this case, after 3.6 seconds the acceleration is zero, it means that the velocity of the runner after 3.6 seconds is not changing and it will remain constant for the remainder of the race. Now, we have to find the velocity of the runner that he had after 3.6 seconds and that would be the runner's speed for the remainder of the race. For this we use first equation of motion.

First equation of motion:        Vf = Vi + a×t

Vf stands for final velocity

Vi stands for initial velocity

a stands for acceleration

t stands for time

In the question, it is mentioned that the runner starts from rest so its initial velocity (Vi) will be 0 m/s.

The acceleration (a) is given as 2.4 m/s²

The time (t) is given as 3.6 s

Now put the values of Vi, a and t in first equation of motion

                       Vf = Vi + a×t

                       Vf = 0 + 2.4×3.6

                       Vf = 2.4×3.6

                       Vf = 8.64 m/s

So,the runner's speed at the following times would remain 8.64 m/s.

A diffraction grating has 500 slits/mm. What is the longest wavelength of light for which there will be a third-order maximum?
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The longest wavelength of light  is 666.7 nm

Explanation:

The general form of the grating equation is

mλ = d(sinθi + sinθr)

where;

m is third-order maximum = 3

λ is the wavelength,

d is the slit spacing (m/slit)

θi  is the incident angle

θr is the diffracted angle

Note: at longest wavelength, sinθi + sinθr = 1

λ = d/m

d = 1/500 slits/mm

λ = 1 mm/(500 *3) = 1mm/1500 = 666.7 X 10⁻⁶ mm = 666.7 nm

Therefore, the longest wavelength of light  is 666.7 nm

If the wind or current is pushing your boat away from the dock as you prepare to dock, which line should you secure first?
Sphinxa [80]

The line that should be secured first in pushing the boat away from the dock in preparation to dock is the bow line. When the bow line is secured, it is best to reverse it and turn to the dock, this will engage the line to tighten in a way that will help it swing back in the dock.
