Answer:
T = 0.225 s
Explanation:
The speed of a projectile at the highest point of its motion is the horizontal speed of the projectile. Considering the horizontal motion with negligible air resistance, we can use the following formula:
where,
T = Total time of ball in air = ?
R = Horizontal distance covered = 40 m
= horizontal speed = 9 m/s
Therefore,
<u>T = 0.225 s</u>
"Gamma rays" is the name that we call the shortest of all electromagnetic waves. They're shorter than radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, heat waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, and X-rays. They extend all the way down to waves that are as short as the distance across an atom.
Being so short, they carry lots of energy. They can penetrate many materials, and they can damage living cells and DNA. They're dangerous.
The sun puts out a lot of gamma radiation. The atmosphere (air) filters out a lot of it, otherwise there couldn't even be any life on Earth.
As soon as astronauts fly out of the atmosphere, they need a lot of shielding from gamma rays.
You know the precautions we take when we're around X-rays. The same precautions apply around gamma rays, only a lot more so.
It's only in the past several years that we've learned how to MAKE gamma rays without blowing things up. Also, how to control them, and how to use them for medical and industrial applications.
Answer:
1.56 m/s
Explanation:
For East direction, the 6 blocks is equivalent to 6*100=600 m
For West direction, 8 blocks is equivalent to 8*100=800 m
Speed is given by s=d/t where s is speed, d is distance covered and t is time taken
Total distance is 600+800=1400m
Time taken is 15 mins, converted to seconds will be 15*60=900 s
Speed, s=1400/900=1.5555555555555 m/s rounded off as 1.56 m/s
The boundary between the crust and mantle is marked by a seismic-velocity discontinuity is called Mohorovicic discontinuity.
Mohorovicic discontinuity was discovered by Andrija Mohorovicic in 1909 who was a Croatian seismologist. He realized that the velocity of a seismic wave is related to the material's density where it is moving through. He decoded that the acceleration of the seismic waves that are observed within outer shell of the earth is a compositional change. Thus, the acceleration should be caused by a material of higher density.
