T o a stationary observer, a man jogs east at 2.5 m/s and a woman jogs west at 1.5 m/s. from the woman's frame of reference, what is the man's velocity? it is 4m/s east

Answer: 4 m/s (towards East)

Explanation:

The velocity of man jogging with respect to a stationary observer, Vm = +2.5 m/s (Eastwards)

The velocity of woman jogging with respect to a stationary observer, Vw = -1.5 m/s (Westwards)

In woman's frame of reference, the man would be jogging relatively faster in the opposite direction as she is in motion herself.

From the woman's frame of reference, the man's velocity:

Vmw = Vm-Vw = +2.5 m/s - (-1.5 m/s) = +4.0 m/s (Eastwards)

If an object falls from rest and lands 3.2 seconds later, how many<br> meters did it fall
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

50.2 meters

Explanation:

When an object falls, it goes a distance d in time t according to the formula:

d=\frac{1}{2}*g*t^{2}

d is the distance in meter, g is the acceleration due to gravity with the value of 9.8m/s^{2} , t is the time in seconds

Therefore, d = \frac{1}{2}*9.8*(3.2)^{2}

d= 50.176 ≈ 50.2m

The particle accelerator at CERN can accelerate an electron through a potential
asambeis [7]

Answer:

K.E = 1.28 × 10^-17 KeV

Explanation:

Given that a particle accelerator at CERN can accelerate an electron through a potentialdifference of 80 kilovolts.

To Calculate the kinetic energy (in keV) of the electron​, let us first find the electron charge which is 1.60 × 10^-19C

The kinetic energy = work done

K.E = e × kV

Substitute e and the voltage into the formula

K.E = 1.60 × 10^-19 × 80

K.E = 1.28 × 10^-17 KeV

Therefore, the kinetic energy is approximately equal to 1.28 × 10^-17 KeV

What is the linear speed of a point on the equator, due to the earth's rotation?
kvv77 [185]
The equatorial radius of the earth is
r = 6378 km = 6378 x 10³ m

The earth makes 1 revolution in 24 hours.
The angular velocity is
ω = (2π rad)/(24*3600 s) = 7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s

The tangential velocity (linear velocity) at a point on the equator is
v = rω
   = (6378 x 10³ m)*(7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s)
   = 463.8 m/s

Answer: 463.8 m/s

f 720-nm and 620-nm light passes through two slits 0.68 mm apart, how far apart are the second-order fringes for these two wavel
valkas [14]

Answer:

0.0003 m = 0.3 mm

Explanation:

For constructive interference in the Young's experiment.

The position of the mth fringe from the central fringe is given by

y = L(mλ/d)

λ = wavelength = 720 nm = 720 × 10⁻⁹ m

L = distance between slits and screen respectively = 1.0 m

d = separation of slits = 0.68 mm = 0.68 × 10⁻³ m

m = 2

y = 1(2 × 720 × 10⁻⁹/(0.68 × 10⁻³) = 0.00212 m = 2.12 mm

For the 620 nm light,

y = 1(2 × 620 × 10⁻⁹/(0.68 × 10⁻³) = 0.00182 m = 1.82 mm

Distance apart = 2.12 - 1.82 = 0.3 mm = 0.0003 m

A metal ball of specific heat capacity 400 joule per kgper celsius is allowed to fall from a height of 100 metre .If the ball on
ExtremeBDS [4]
First we'll calculate the energy it posesses

G.P.E = mgh = 0.2 * 10 * 100 = 200 J

Now we'll calculate the temperature rise

Q = m * c * (t2 - t1)
Q/(m * c) = t2-t1
t2 = Q/(m * c) + t1 = 200/(0.2 * 400) + 0 = <span>2.5 C</span>
