LekaFEV [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

\frac{0.0125m}{s}

Explanation:

In order to solve this question we need to know that  speed = \frac{distance}{time}. Then we need to convert 4 minutes into seconds and cm into m. We can do that by multiplying the number of minutes by 60 (because there is 60 seconds in one minute) and dividing the number of cm by 100 (because there is 100 cm in one m). So.......

4min = 4 x 60s = 240s

300cm = 300/100 m = 3m

Now we know that distance = 300m, and that the time = 4min = 240s ⇒

⇒ speed=\frac{distance}{time} = \frac{3m}{240s} = \frac{0.0125m}{s}

Len [333]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity v = 2.1  x 10⁷ m/s

acceleration a = 5.1 x 10¹⁵ m /s²

horizontal distance covered = 5.5 x 10⁻² m

time taken to cover horizontal distance =  5.5 x 10⁻² / 2.1  x 10⁷

= 2.62 x 10⁻⁹ s .

b )

vertical distance travelled due to vertical acceleration

= 1/2 a t²

= .5 x 5.1 x 10¹⁵ x (2.62 x 10⁻⁹)²

= 17.5 x 10⁻³ m

Why do scientists need a standard system of measurement?
ladessa [460]
Scientists need a standard system of measurement to allow for consistency with measurement data (A). Scientists would not be able to understand what other scientists are saying if everyone uses their own system of measurement. Scientists need to take measurements, interpret them and communicate the results to other scientists. That is why a standardized system of taking measurements has been developed. The International System of Units or the Metric system is the measurement system of choice for scientists all over the world today.

A pair of narrow slits, separated by 1.8 mm, is illuminated by a monochromatic light source. Light waves arrive at the two slits
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Answer:

750 nm

Explanation:

= separation of the slits = 1.8 mm = 0.0018 m

λ = wavelength of monochromatic light

= screen distance = 4.8 m

= position of first bright fringe =

= order = 1

Position of first bright fringe is given as

λ = 7.5 x 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 750 nm

balandron [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The increase of women in the paid workforce was arguably the most significant change in the economy in the past century. In the U.S., women's participation in the labor market has nearly doubled, from 34% of working-age women (age 16 and older) in the labor force in 1950 to almost 57% in 2016.
