A river has a steady speed of 0.566 m/s. A student swims upstream a distance of 1.57 km and returns (still swimming) to the star

ting point. If the student can swim at a speed of 1.17 m/s in still water, how long does the trip take? Answer in units of s. Compare this with the time the trip would take if the water were still; i.e., what is the time in the river minus the time in still water? Answer in units of s.

Answer:

3503.72 seconds

819.96 seconds

Explanation:

$V_r$ =Velocity of river = 0.566 m/s

$V_s$ =Velocity of student = 1.17 m/s

Distance to travel = 1.57 km = 1570 m

So,

Time = Distance / Speed

$\frac{1570}{V_s-V_r}+\frac{1570}{V_s+V_r}=t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{1570}{1.17-0.566}+\frac{1570}{1.17+0.566}\\\Rightarrow t=3503.72\ s$

Time taken by the student to complete the trip is 3503.72 seconds

In still water

$\frac{1570}{V_s}+\frac{1570}{V_s}=t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{1570}{1.17}+\frac{1570}{1.17}\\\Rightarrow t=2683.76\ s$

The difference in time between moving water and still water is 3503.72-2683.76 = 819.96 seconds

Answer:

The sum of the initial and final velocity is divided by 2 to find the average. The average velocity calculator uses the formula that shows the average velocity (v) equals the sum of the final velocity (v) and the initial velocity (u), divided by 2.

You have a double slit experiment, with the distance between the two slits to be 0.025 cm. A screern is 120 cm behind the double

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between the two slits d= 0.025 cm

Distance between the screen and slits D = 120 cm

Distance between the slits y= 1.52 cm

We need to calculate the angle

Using formula of double slit

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{D}$

Where, y = Distance between the slits

D = Distance between the screen and slits

Put the value into the formula

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{1.52}{120}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{1.52}{120}$

$\theta=0.725$

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$d\sin\theta=n\lambda$

Put the value into the formula

$0.025\times\sin0.725=5\times\lambda$

$\lambda=\dfrac{0.025\times10^{-2}\times\sin0.725}{5}$

$\lambda=6.326\times10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=633\ nm$

Hence, The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.

Based on the following equation, answer the questions below. ρ = (2γϕ + ψ)/rg where ρ [=] moles per cubic foot [mol/ft3] γ [=] j

AlekseyPX

1) Fundamental units of $\Psi$ are $[\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$

2) Fundamental units of $\Phi$ are $[\frac{mol}{m^3}]$

Explanation:

The equation for the variable $\rho$ is

$\rho =\frac{2\gamma \Phi+\Psi}{rg}$

where we have:

$\rho$ measured in $[\frac{mol}{ft^3}]$

$\gamma$ measured in $[\frac{J}{kg}]$

$r$ measured in $[in]$

$g$ measured in $[\frac{m}{s^2}]$

We can re-write the equation as

$\rho rg = 2\gamma \Phi + \Psi$

And we notice that the units of the term on the left must be equal to the units of the term on the right.

This means that:

1) First of all, $\Psi$ must have the same units of $\rho r g$ . So,

$[\rho r g]=[\frac{mol}{ft^3}][in][\frac{m}{s^2}]$

However, both ft (feet) and in (inches) are not fundamental dimensions: this means that they can be expressed as meters. Therefore, the fundamental units of $\Psi$ are

$[\Psi]=[\frac{mol}{m^3}][m][\frac{m}{s^2}]=[\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$

2)

The term $2\gamma \Phi$ must have the same units of $\Psi$ in order to be added to it. Therefore,

$[\gamma \Phi] = [\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$

We also know that the units of $\gamma$ are $[\frac{J}{kg}]$ , therefore

$[\frac{J}{kg}][\Phi]= [\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$

And so, the fundamental units of $\Phi$ are

$[\Phi]= [\frac{mol\cdot kg}{J\cdot m\cdot s^2}]$

However, the Joules can be written as

$[J]=[kg][\frac{m^2}{s^2}]$

Therefore

$[\Phi]= [\frac{mol\cdot kg}{(kg \frac{m^2}{s^2})\cdot m\cdot s^2}]=[\Phi]= [\frac{mol}{m^3}]$

Name the quantity which is measured by the area occupied below the velocity time graph

kiruha [24]

If you mark off a beginning time and ending time on the graph,
then the area under the part of the graph between those limits
is the distance covered during that period of time.
