In a 100-m race, the winner is timed at 11.2 s. The second-place finisher’s time is 11.6 s. How far is the second-place finisher

behind the winner when she crosses the finish line? Assume the velocity of each runner is constant throughout the race.

Answer:

d = 3.45 m

Explanation:

given,

distance, d = 100 m

time of winner = 11.2 s

time of finisher = 11.6 s

distance between them when winner finish race

speed of winner

s_1 = \dfrac{d}{t_1}

s_1 = \dfrac{100}{11.2}

 s₁ = 8.93 m/s

speed of runner up

s_2 = \dfrac{d}{t_2}

s_2= \dfrac{100}{11.6}

 s₂= 8.62 m/s

difference in time = t₂ - t₁ = 11.6 - 11.2 = 0.4 s

distance between them

d =  s₂ x t

d = 8.62 x 0.4

d = 3.45 m

Answer:

The bulbs should be connected in parallel.

Explanation:

We want to find out a way to hook  up 2 light bulbs and a battery so that when one bulb burns out or is disconnected the other bulbs stays lit.

We must connect the two bulbs in parallel so that even when one bulb is burns out, it will have no effect on the other bulb and the 2nd bulb will keep on working. The current flowing in each bulb will depend upon the resistance of each bulb and the voltage will be same across each bulb.

On the other hand, if we use a series circuit then if one bulb burns out then the there is no flow of current in the circuit and therefore, the second bulb will not be operational.

The current flowing through each bulb is given by

I = V/R

The voltage across each bulb is given by

V = IReq

Where I is the current and Req is the equivalent resistance of the two bulbs connected in parallel and is given by

Req = (R₁*R₂)/(R₁+R₂)

The connection diagram is attached where two bulbs are connected in parallel and are power with a battery.

The humidity you feel in the southern states of the U.S. is _____. part of the water cycle water vapor caused by the Sun's heat
Likurg_2 [28]
Hey there!

The answer is : 
The <span>humidity you feel in the southern states of the U.S. is water vapor 
water vapor is between a gas and liquid so that is what gives a humid feel in the hot sun

Hopes this helps u :D

Nuclear chain reactions within power plants do NOT produce bomb-like explosions primarily because the ________.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer: D. Density of uranium within nuclear fuel rods is insufficient to become explosive

Explanation: Nuclear power plants use the same fuel as nuclear bombs, i.e. radioactive Uranium-235 isotope. However, in a nuclear power plant, the energy is released more slowly unlike in a nuclear bomb. <em>The energy released is through nuclear fission, and radioactive decay occurs at the same rate as in nuclear bombs. therefore, option A, B</em><em> </em><em>and C are incorrect.</em>

The primary reason why nuclear chain reactions within power plants do NOT produce bomb-like explosions is because the uranium fuel rods used in electricity generation is not sufficiently enriched in Uranium-235 to produce a nuclear detonation. This is the same idea in option D which is the correct option.

Rami uses a disposable camera that has a flash. When he wants to take a picture, he holds a button and hears a rising whining so
ivann1987 [24]
<span>It stores energy and delivers it in a short burst.

The whirring sound is produced by the charging of the capacitor. A capacitor is an electrical component which is capable of storing charge. When the capacitor stores charge, it is storing energy. After doing so, the capacitor releases the electrical energy that it had stored as light energy, which is seen as the flash of the camera. It must do so in a burst, because the intensity of the flash is very high and would require a high amount of energy to maintain.

Determine the linear velocity of an object with an angular velocity of 5.9 radians per second at a distance of 12 centimeters fr
Andre45 [30]
The linear velocity of a rotating object is the product of the angular velocity and the radius of the circular motion. Angular velocity is the rate of the change of angular displacement of a body that is in a circular motion. It is a vector quantity so it consists of a magnitude and direction. From the problem, the angular velocity is 5.9 rad per second and the radius is given as 12 centimeters. We calculate as follows:

Linear velocity = angular velocity (radius)
Linear velocity = 5.9 (12 ) = 70.8 cm / s

The linear velocity of the body in motion is 70.8 centimeters per second or 0.708 meters per second.
