Answer:

a) The distance is 30 km

The time duration is 5 hours

b) s₁ is approximately 28.142 km or s₁ is approximately 1.505 km

Explanation:

The initial speed with of the person, v₁ = 6 km/h

The distance the walked by the person, d = From point A to point B

The rate at which the person increases the speed, Δv = 1.5 km/h

The time it takes for the person to arrive at point B from point A at the new speed, t₂ = 1 hour earlier than when walking at 6 km/h

a) Let t₁ represent the time it takes the person walking from point A to point B at 6 km/h, we have;

t₂ = t₁ - 1...(1)

d/t₁ = 6...(2)

d/t₂ = 6 + 1.5 = 7.5

∴ d/t₂ = 7.5...(3)

From equation (2), we have;

d = 6 × t₁ = 6·t₁

Plugging in d = 6·t₁, and t₂ = t₁ - 1 in equation (3) gives;

d/t₂ = 7.5

∴ 6·t₁/t₁ - 1 = 7.5

6·t₁ = 7.5 × (t₁ - 1) = 7.5·t₁ - 7.5

7.5·t₁ - 6·t₁ = 7.5

1.5·t₁ = 7.5

t₁ = 7.5/1.5 = 5

t₁  = 5

The time it takes the person walking from point A to point B at 6 km/h, t₁  = 5 hours

The distance from point A to point B, d = 6 km/h × 5 hours = 30 km

b) The distance the person travels at the initial speed, v₁ (6 km/h) = s₁

The duration the person pauses for a rest = 15 minutes = 1/4 hours

The speed with which he walks the rest of the journey, v₂ = 7.5 km/h

The time earlier than expected that he arrives, Δt = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours

We note that the total distance, d = 30 km

The expected time, t₁ = 5 hours

Therefore, we have;

s₁ + s₂ = 30 km

s₂ = 30 - s₁

v₁/s₁ + 1/4 + v₂/s₂ = t₁ - 0.5

Therefore;

6/s₁ + 1/4 + 7.5/(30 - s₁) = 5 - 0.5 = 4.5

6/28.142+ 1/4 + 7.5/(30 - 28.142) = 5 - 0.5 = 4.5

6/s₁ + 7.5/(30 - s₁) = 4.5 - 1/4 = 4.25

-(3·s₁ + 360)/(2·s₁²- 60·s₁) = 4.25

2·s₁²- 60·s₁) × 4.25 + 3·s₁ + 360 = 0

17·s₁²- 504·s₁ + 720 = 0

s₁ = (504 ± √((-504)² - 4 × 17 × 720))/(2 × 17)

s₁ ≈ 28.142 or s₁ = 1.505

The distance the individual travels at v₁ = 6 km/h, s₁ ≈ 28.142 km or 1.505 km

Show that the entire Paschen series is in the infrared part of the spectrum. To do this, you only need to calculate the shortest
mr_godi [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the shortest wavelength in the series is shown below:-

\frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )

Where

\lambda represents wavelength

R represents Rydberg's constant

n_f represents Final energy states

and n_i represents initial energy states

Now Substitute is

1.097\times 10^7\ m^{-1}\ for\ R, \infty for\ n_i,\ 3 for\ n_i,\\\\\ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )

now we will put the values into the above formula

= 1.097\times 10^7 m^{-1}(\frac{1}{3^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} )\\\\ = 1.097\times10^7\ m^{-1} (\frac{1}{9} )

= 1218888.889 m^{-1}

Now we will rewrite the answer in the term of \lambda

\lambda = \frac{1}{1218888.889} m\\\\ = 0.82\times 10^{-6} m

So, the whole Paschen series is in the part of the spectrum.

The planet Mars has much less gravitational force that Earth. What would happen if you went to Mars?
vovangra [49]

gravitational force of planet exerted on its object near the surface is known as weight

so here we know that gravitational force of mars is much less than the gravitational force of Earth

So on the surface of mars the Weight of objects must be much less than the weight of object on surface of Earth

so here correct answer must be

<em>D. Your weight would decrease.</em>
