dimulka [17.4K]

Let the first car's average speed be x

The second car's speed would be x+5

$2(x+(x+5))=210$

$2x+5=105$

$2x=100$

$x=50$

So the speed of the slower car is 50mph, and the speed of the faster car is 55mph

Suppose astronomers built a 150-meter telescope. how much greater would its light-collecting area be than that of the 10-meter k

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Almost all telescopes have a circular mirror. The area of a circle is proportional to $r^2$ where $r$ is the radius of the circle, the constant of proportionality being $4\pi$
$S =4\pi r^2$
Therefore the area of 150 meter telescope would be
$S_1/S_2=(r_1/r_2)^2 =(75/5)^2 =15^2=225$
times bigger than the area of the smaller (10 meter) telescope.

Write equations for both the electric and magnetic fields for an electromagnetic wave in the red part of the visible spectrum th

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

$E=3.5(8.98*10^{6}x-2.69*10^{15}t)$

$B=1.17*10^{-8}(8.98*10^{6}x-2.69*10^{15}t)$

Explanation:

The electric field equation of a electromagnetic wave is given by:

$E=E_{max}(kx-\omega t)$ (1)

E(max) is the maximun value of E, it means the amplitude of the wave.
k is the wave number
ω is the angular frequency

We know that the wave length is λ = 700 nm and the peak electric field magnitude of 3.5 V/m, this value is correspond a E(max).

By definition:

$k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

$k=8.98*10^{6} [rad/m]$

And the relation between λ and f is:

$c=\lambda f$

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

$f=\frac{3*10^{8}}{700*10^{-9}}$

$f=4.28*10^{14}$

The angular frequency equation is:

$\omega=2\pi f$

$\omega=2\pi*4.28*10^{14}$

$\omega=2.69*10^{15} [rad/s]$

Therefore, the E equation, suing (1), will be:

$E=3.5(8.98*10^{6}x-2.69*10^{15}t)$ (2)

For the magnetic field we have the next equation:

$B=B_{max}(kx-\omega t)$ (3)

It is the same as E. Here we just need to find B(max).

We can use this equation:

$E_{max}=cB_{max}$

$B_{max}=\frac{E_{max}}{c}=\frac{3.5}{3*10^{8}}$

$B_{max}=1.17*10^{-8}T$

Putting this in (3), finally we will have:

$B=1.17*10^{-8}(8.98*10^{6}x-2.69*10^{15}t)$ (4)

I hope it helps you!

A horizontal force acts on an object on a fric- tionless horizontal surface. If the force is halved and the mass of the object i

guapka [62]

(a) If the force is halved and the mass of the object is doubled, the acceleration will be one-fourth as great.

(b) if the force on it is doubled and its mass is halved, the new acceleration will be four times as great.

The force on an object is determined by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

$\frac{F_1}{m_1a_1} = \frac{F_2}{m_2a_2}$

(a)

when the force is halved, F₂ = 0.5F₁,

mass is doubled, m₂ = 2m₁

$\frac{F_1}{m_1a_1} = \frac{0.5F_1}{2m_1a_2} \\\\2m_1a_2F_1 = 0.5F_1 m_1a_1\\\\2a_2 = 0.5a_1\\\\a_2 = \frac{0.5a_1}{2} = \frac{a_1}{2 \times 2} = \frac{a_1}{4} \\\\a_2 = \frac{1}{4} (a_1)$

Thus, If the force is halved and the mass of the object is doubled, the acceleration will be one-fourth as great.

(b)

when the force is doubled, F₂ = 2F₁,

mass is halved, m₂ = 0.5m₁

$\frac{F_1}{m_1 a_1} = \frac{2F_1}{0.5m_1 a_2} \\\\0.5m_1a_2 F_1 = 2F_1m_1a_1\\\\0.5a_2 = 2a_1\\\\a_2 = \frac{2a_1}{0.5} \\\\a_2 = 4(a_1)$

Thus, if the force on it is doubled and its mass is halved, the new acceleration will be four times as great.
