187.92 years

8*10^-2= .08

1.88*10^2= 188

188-.08=187.92

Three importance of SI system​
diamong [38]

Answer:

Firstly they are, by design, easy to use in most scientific and engineering calculations; you only ever have to consider multiples of 10. If I’m given a measurement of 3.4 kilometres, I can instantly see that it’s 3′400 metres, or 0.0034 Megametres, or 3′400′000 millimetres. It’s not even necessary to use arithmetic, I just have to remember the definitions of the prefixes (“kilo” is a thousand, “megametre” is a million, “milli” is a thousandth) and shift the decimal point across to the left or the right. This is especially useful when we’re considering areas, speeds, energies, or other things that have multiple units; for instance,

1 metre^2 = (1000millimetre)^2 = 1000000 mm^2.

If we were to do an equivalent conversion in Imperial, we would have

1 mile^2 = (1760 yards)^2

and we immediately have to figure out what the square of 1760 is! However, the fact that SI is based on multiples of 10 has the downside that we can’t consider division by 3, 4, 8, or 12 very easily.

Secondly they are (mostly) defined in terms of things that are (or, that we believe to be) fundamental constants. The second is defined by a certain kind of radiation that comes from a caesium atom. The metre is defined in terms of the second and the speed of light. The kelvin is defined in terms of the triple point of water. The mole is the number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12. The candela is defined in terms of the light intensity you get from a very specific light source. The ampere is defined using the Lorentz force between two wires. The only exception is the kilogram, which is still defined by the mass of a very specific lump of metal in a vault in France (we’re still working on a good definition for that one).

Thirdly, most of the Imperial and US customary units are defined in terms of SI. Even if you’re not personally using SI, you are probably using equipment that was designed using SI.

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

constructive interference.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves is a propagating medium used in all communications device to transmit data (messages) from the device of the sender to the device of the receiver.

Generally, the most commonly used electromagnetic wave technology in telecommunications is radio waves.

Radio waves can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that has its frequency ranging from 30 GHz to 300 GHz and its wavelength between 1mm and 3000m.

In this scenario, an experiment is conducted by Pierce in which waves collide in a way that the energy increases. Thus, this is an example of constructive interference i.e constructive interference has occurred.

An interference occurs when two pair of waves such as sound and light waves pass through each other i.e crossing each other's path while traveling through the same medium or space.

A bicycle rider increases his speed from 5 m/s to 15 m/s in while accelerating at 2.5 m/s2. How long does this take ?
Olegator [25]

Answer:

4 seconds

Explanation:

Average acceleration is change in velocity over change in time:

a = Δv / Δt

Δt = Δv / a

Δt = (15 m/s - 5 m/s) / 2.5 m/s²

Δt = 4 s

Inga [223]

Answer:

a) Stone            v_{y} = - 7.25 ft / s ,  vₓ = 0.362 ft / s

b) tennis ball    v_{y} =  -3.16 ft / s ,   vₓ = 0.634 ft / s

c) golf ball        v_{y} = - 1,536 ft / s, vx = 0.634 ft / s

2) golf ball

Explanation:

1) The average speed is defined with the displacement interval in the given time interval

           v =( x_{f}-x₀) / Δt

let's use this expression for each object

a) Stone

  It tells us that it is released from y₀ = 10 ft and reaches the floor at

t = 0.788 s, but in the problem they tell us that the calculation is for t = 1.38 s

           v_{y} = (0-10) / 1.38

           v_{y} = - 7.25 ft / s

 in this interval a distance of x_{f} = 0.500 ft was moved away from the building (x₀ = 0 ft)

          vₓ = (0.500- 0) / 1.38

          vₓ = 0.362 ft / s

In my opinion it makes no sense to keep measuring the time after the stone has stopped.

b) tennis ball

It leaves the building at a height of y₀= 10ft and at the end of the period it is at a height of y_{f} = 5.63 ft, all this in a time of t = 0.788 + 0.591 = 1.38 s

       

the average vertical speed is

            v_{y} = (5.63 - 10) / 1.38

            v_{y} = -3.16 ft / s

for horizontal velocity the ball leaves the building xo = 0 reaches the floor

x₁ = 0.500 foot and when bouncing it travels x₂ = 0.375 foot, therefore the distance traveled

         x_{f} = x₁ + x₂

         x_{f} = 0.500 + 0.375

         x_{f} = 0.875 ft

we calculate

         vₓ = (0.875 - 0) / 1.38

         vₓ = 0.634 ft / s

c) The golf ball

the vertical displacement y₀ = 10 ft, and y_{f} = 7.88 ft

          v_{y} = (7.88 - 10) / 1.38

          v_{y} = - 1,536 ft / s

the horizontal displacement x₀ = 0 ft to the point xf = 0.875 ft

          vₓ = (0.875 -0) / 1.38

          vₓ = 0.634 ft / s

2) in this part we are asked for the instantaneous speed at the end of the time interval

a) the stone is stopped so its speed is zero

          v_{y} = vₓ = 0

b) the tennis ball

It is at its maximum height so its vertical speed is zero

        v_{y} = 0

horizontal speed does not change

          vₓ = 0.634 ft / s

c) The golf ball

they do not indicate that it is still rising. Therefore its vertical speed is greater than zero

         v_{y} > 0

horizontal speed is constant

         vₓx = 0.634 ft / s

the total velocity of the object can be found with the Pythagorean theorem

         v = √ (vₓ² + v_{y}²)

When reviewing the results, the golf ball is the one with the highest instantaneous speed at the end of the period
