Answer:

12.6 seconds

Explanation:

With respect to the gazelle, the cheetah has a relative speed of 100 - 80 = 20 km/hr.

We convert from km/hr to m/s.

$\dfrac{20000\text{ m}}{3600\text{ s}} = \dfrac{50}{9}\text{ m/s}$

At this relative speed, the cheetah will overtake the gazelle in time <em>t</em> given by

$v= \dfrac{d}{t}$

<em>d</em> is the distance and <em>v</em> is the relative speed.

$t = \dfrac{d}{v} = \dfrac{70.0}{50/9} = 12.6\text{ s}$

The wavelength of violet light is about 425 nm (1 nanometer = 1 × 10−9 m). what are the frequency and period of the light waves?

BigorU [14]

1. Frequency: $7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz$

The frequency of a light wave is given by:

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

where

$c=3\cdot 10^{-8} m/s$ is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the wave

In this problem, we have light with wavelength

$\lambda=425 nm=425\cdot 10^{-9} m$

Substituting into the equation, we find the frequency:

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3\cdot 10^{-8} m/s}{425\cdot 10^{-9} m}=7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz$

2. Period: $1.42 \cdot 10^{-15}s$

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}$

The frequency of this light wave is $7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz$ (found in the previous exercise), so the period is:

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz}=1.42\cdot 10^{-15} s$

If Frequency F, velocity v, and density D are considered fundamental units, the dimensional formula for momentum will be :

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Let's see

Momentum be P

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow P=[Frequency]^a[velocity]^b[Density]^c$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow [P]=[F]^a[v]^b[D]^c$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow [M^1L^1T^{-1}]=[T^{-1}]^a[L^1T^{-1}]^b[M^1L^{-3}]^c$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow MLT^{-1}=T^{-a}L^bT^{-b}M^cL^{-3c}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow MLT^{-1}=T^{-a-b}L^{b-3c}M^c$

On comaparing

c=1

So

b-3c=1
b-3=1
b=1+3
b=4

and

-a-b=-1
-a-4=-1
-a=-1+4=3
a=-3

So the unit is

DV⁴/F³

Suppose the coefficient of static friction between a quarter and the back wall of a rocket car is 0.330. At what minimum rate wo

Helga [31]

Answer: $3.23 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

$\mu_s =0.330$

Frictional Force is balanced by force due to car acceleration

Frictional force $F_s$

$F_s=ma_{min}$

$\mu_sN=ma_{min}$

$\mu_s\cdot mg=ma_{min}$

$a_{min}=\mu_s \cdot g=0.330\times 9.8=3.23 m/s^2$

During a baseball game, a batter hits a high .

Harman [31]

Answer: Due that we don't know the initial speed after hitting the ball, we are going to accept that the ball goes up for half of the time and then falls during other half part, that is 3.0 seconds each. Then we know that ball's movement is ruled by the acceleration of gravity formula, as follows: H = Vi * T + 1/2 * g * T^2 V = Vi + g * T where: H is height, Vi initial speed, g gravity acceleration and T time When we only consider the second half of the trajectory, we have that initial speed at the top of that movement is zero, because ball goes up till top, where stops and starts to go down, so : H = 0 * 3 + 1/2 * 32 * 3^2 = 144 ft. So the height of the pop-up is 144 feet.
