Answer: 4.5 billion years

Explanation:

Some of the water molecules in your drinking glass were created more than 4.5 billion years ago, according to new research.

That makes them older than the Earth, older than the solar system — even older than the sun itself.

With an initial velocity of 20km per hour a car accelerated at 8m/s2 for 10s,what is the position of the car at the end of 10s

Dima020 [189]

initial velocity=u=20km/h=5.5m/s
Acceleration=a=8m/s^2
Time=t=10s

$\\ \sf\longmapsto s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto s=5.5(10)+\dfrac{1}{2}(8)(5.5)^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto s=55+4(5.5)^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto s=55+4(30.25)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto s=55+121$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto s=176m$

What is the average velocity of a car if it travels from position 25m to a position of -7m in 34 seconds?

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

vp = 0.94 m/s

Explanation

Formula

Vp = position/ time

position: Initial position - Final position

Position = 25 m - (-7 m) = 25 m + 7 m = 32 m

Then

Vp = 32 m / 34 seconds

Vp = 0.94 m/s

Monochromatic light passes through a double slit, producing interference, the distance between the slit centres is 1.2 mm and th

Alik [6]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is $7200\ \AA$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between the slit centers d= 1.2 mm

Distance between constructive fringes $\beta= 0.3\ cm$

Distance between fringe and screen D= 5 m

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of width

$\beta=\dfrac{D\lambda}{d}$

Put the value into the formula

$0.3\times10^{-2}=\dfrac{5\times\lambda}{1.2\times10^{-3}}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{0.3\times10^{-2}\times1.2\times10^{-3}}{5}$

$\lambda=7.2\times10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=7200\ \AA$

Hence, The wavelength of the light is $7200\ \AA$ .

Location A receives

Vlad1618 [11]

Location A receives more rainfall than Location B due to the rain shadow effect.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Rain shadow effect is caused due to the presence of mountains.
A rain shadow area is an area of land that has been forced to become dry, devoid of any vegetation growth due to the blockage of precipitation by mountains. These rain shadow areas will have a dry climate.
The other side of the mountain would receive plenty of precipitation and therefore would be flourished with plant growth. These areas will have a cool and wet climate.
In this case, Location A is on the other side of the mountain and so receives more rainfall or precipitation. Meanwhile, Location B is on the rain shadow region and so receives less rainfall.

The crew of an enemy spacecraft attempts to escape from your spacecraft by moving away from you at 0.259 of the speed of light.

Vladimir79 [104]

If you do not have to use relative physics but classic physics, this is how you solve it:

Speed of light = c = 3 * 10^5 km/s

Speed of your foe respect to you: 0.259c

Speed of the torpedo respect to you: 0.349c

Speed of the torpedo respect your foe: 0.349c - 0.259c = 0.09c

Conversion to km/s = 0.09 * 3.0 * 10^5 km/s = 27000 km/s

Note that this solution, using classic physics do not take into account time and space dilation.

Answer: 27000 km/s
