A cruise ship travels across a river at 25 meters per minute. If the river is 6200 meters wide, how long

Physics
1 answer:
EleoNora [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

248 minutes

Explanation:

6200/25=248

This means there is 248 25s in 6200

which means it will take 248 minutes to travel through the river

Also here's a neat trick:

The units for speed is meters/minute

The units for distance is meters

Dividing distance by speed will cancel out the meters and leave only the speed.

In a thin film experiment, a wedge of air is used between two glass plates. If the wavelength of the incident light in air is 48
cluponka [151]

Answer:

The thickness is  \Delta y =  2.4 *10^{-6} \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The wavelength is  \lambda  = 480 \ nm = 480*10^{-9} \  m

    The first order of the dark  fringe is  m_1 =  16

     The second order of dark fringe considered is  m_2 = 6

Generally the condition for destructive interference is mathematically represented as

        y = \frac{m \lambda}{2}

Here y is the path difference between the central maxima(i.e the origin) and any dark fringe

So  the path difference between the 16th dark fringe and the 6th dark fringe is mathematically represented as

      y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y =  \frac{m_1 \lambda}{2} -  \frac{m_2 \lambda}{2}

=>  y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y =  \frac{16 *480*10^{-9}}{2} -  \frac{6 *480*10^{-9}}{2}

=>  y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y =  5 (480*10^{-9})

=>  \Delta y =  2.4 *10^{-6} \  m

Which quantity below is a derived quantity?
Reil [10]

By definition, the speed of an object is given by:

v = \frac{dr}{dt}

Where,

dr/dt: derived from the position with respect to time

Therefore, speed has units of length over units of time.

Thus, speed is a derived quantity, since it depends on the value of two other quantities.

Answer:

a derived quantity is:

C. Speed

how much does a bookshelf weigh if the movers are pushing it at a speed of 10 m/s^2 by applying 100 N force
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

10 kg

Explanation:

Assuming a frictionless surface, then force F=ma where F is the applied force, m is the mass and a is acceleration. Making m the subject of the formula then m=\frac {F}{a}

Substituting 100 N for the applied force F and 10 m/s^2 for acceleration a then the value of m will be m=\frac {100}{10}=10\ kgs

Therefore, in terms of kilograms, the bookshelf weighs 10 Kg

Explain why atoms only emit certain wavelengths of light when they are excited. Check all that apply. Check all that apply. Elec
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electrons are allowed "in between" quantized energy levels, and, thus, only specific lines are observed. <em>FALSE. </em>The specific lines are obseved because of the energy level transition of an electron in an specific level to another level of energy.

The energies of atoms are not quantized. <em>FALSE. </em>The energies of the atoms are in specific levels.

When an electron moves from one energy level to another during absorption, a specific wavelength of light (with specific energy) is emitted. <em>FALSE. </em>During absorption, a specific wavelength of light is absorbed, not emmited.

Electrons are not allowed "in between" quantized energy levels, and, thus, only specific lines are observed. <em>TRUE. </em>Again, you can observe just the transition due the change of energy of an electron in the quantized energy level

When an electron moves from one energy level to another during emission, a specific wavelength of light (with specific energy) is emitted. <em>TRUE. </em>The electron decreases its energy releasing a specific wavelength of light.

The energies of atoms are quantized. <em>TRUE. </em>In fact, the energy of all subatomic, atomic, and molecular particles is quantized.

At the Indianapolis 500, you can measure the speed of cars just by listening to the difference in pitch of the engine noise betw
allsm [11]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Dopler effect.

The equation is defined by

f_i = f_0 \frac{c}{c+v}

Where

f_h= Approaching velocities

f_i= Receding velocities

c = Speed of sound

v = Emitter speed

And

f_h = f_0 \frac{c}{c+v}

Therefore using the values given we can find the velocity through,

\frac{f_h}{f_0}=\frac{c-v}{c+v}

v = c(\frac{f_h-f_i}{f_h+f_i})

Assuming the ratio above, we can use any f_h and f_i with the ratio 2.4 to 1

v = 353(\frac{2.4-1}{2.4+1})

v = 145.35m/s

Therefore the cars goes to 145.3m/s
