-di represents an image in front of a lens
Answer:
Explanation:
Call the bike on the right A
Call the bike on the left B
The car begins it's time when it passes A
4 minutes later, it passes B.
But B has moved in 4 minutes and that is the key to the problem.
How far has B moved.
t = 4 minutes = 4/60 hours = 1/15 of an hour.
d = ?
rate = 30 km / hr
d = r * t
d = 30 km/hr * 1/15 hours = 2 km
The distance between the bikes is 5 km.
So the car has traveled 5 - 2 = 3 km
d = 3 km
r = ?
t = 4 minutes = 1/15 hour
r = d/t = 3/(1/15)= 3 / 0.066666666 = 45 km/hr.
Answer:
7500 m
Explanation:
The radar emits an electromagnetic wave that travels towards the object and then it is reflected back to the radar.
We can call L the distance between the radar and the object; this means that the electromagnetic wave travels twice this distance, so
d = 2L
In a time of

Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum at the speed of light, which is equal to

Since the electromagnetic wave travels with constant speed, we can use the equation for uniform motion ,so:
(1)
where


, where L is the distance between the radar and the object
Re-arranging eq(1) and substituting, we find L:
