Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

This is a case of velocity, since velocity apart from having magnitude also has direction. the person walks at 8 [m/s] to the North.

When we talk about speed, we only talk about the magnitude without taking into account the direction.

You are driving your motorcycle in a circle of radius 75 m on wet pavement. what is the fastest you can go before you lose tract
stira [4]

On driving your motorcycle in a circle of radius 75 m on wet pavement, the fastest you can go before you lose traction, assuming the coefficient of static friction is 0.20 is 147m/s

Friction helps to maintain the slipping of the vehicle on the road hence lays a very important role.

Maximum velocity of a road with friction is given by the formula,

v = μRg

where, v is the maximum velocity

μ is the coefficient of static friction

R is the radius of the circle road

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Given,

μ = 0.20

R = 75m

g = 9.8m/s²

On substituting the given values in the above formula,

v = 0.20× 75 ×9.8

v = 147m/s

So, the Maximum velocity of the wet road is 147m/s.

Which causes a rainbow in the sky?
Alina [70]
Sunlight (white light) refracts through droplets of water in the atmosphere and this causes a rainbow in the sky. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". The rainbow is caused by the reflection, refraction and dispersion of sunlight in water droplets that are present in the atmosphere.

While bats emit a wide variety of sounds, one type emits pulses of sound at a frequency between 39 kHz and 78 kHz. What is the r
sdas [7]

Answer:

The range of wavelengths of the sound is 7692.30 m and 3846.15 m

Explanation:

A bat emits pulses of sound at a frequency between 39 kHz and 78 kHz. It is required to find the range of wavelengths of this sound.

Bat uses ultrasonic waves. It moves with the speed of light.

If f = 39 kHz,

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{39\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=7692.30\ m

If f = 78 kHz,

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{78\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=3846.15\ m

So, the range of wavelengths of the sound is 7692.30 m and 3846.15 m.
