Let the Eastward be the positive direction. So initially runner A is at position -6km, running with velocity of 9km/h while runner B is at position 5km running at a velocity of -8km/h. We can conduct the following equation for their distances over the same time t

$s_A = -6 + 9t$

$s_B = 5 - 8t$

When A an B meets, they are at the same position and at the same time. So

$s_A = s_B$

$-6 +9t = 5 - 8t$

$17t = 5 + 6 = 11$

$t = 11/17 = 0.647 s$

$s_A = -6 + 9*0.647 = -0.176 m$

So where they meet is 0.176m from the flagpole, westward.

Some trees have red leaves all year long. You know that plants with green leaves make their food for themselves. How do you thin

The same way as the trees with green leaves. Through photosynthesis :)

A soap bubble appears red (λ = 633nm) at the point on its front surface nearest to the viewer. Assuming n = 1.35, what is the sm

Answer:

The smallest film thickness is 117 nm.

Explanation:

Light interference on thin films can be constructive or destructive. Constructive interference is dependent on the film thickness and the refractive index of the medium.

For the first interference (surface nearest to viewer), the minimum thickness can be expressed as:

$2t_{min} = \frac{wavelenth}{2n}$
