Let’s allow ourselves to be a little more optimistic with our bus passengers. Earlier in the movie Sandy has to make the bus jum

p a large gap in the roadway. She is moving at 60 mph and as an astute physicist, she knows she must get the bus moving at a minimum of 80 mph within a half mile if she is to make the jump. Assuming constant acceleration, when does the bus make the jump after it begins to accelerate? (1 mile = 1609.34 m)

Answer:

25.71486 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 60 mph

v = Final velocity = 80 mph

s = Displacement = 0.5 mile

a = Acceleration

Converting to m/s

60\times \dfrac{1609.34}{3600}=26.8223\ m/s

80\times \dfrac{1609.34}{3600}=35.7631\ m/s

From equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{35.7631^2-26.8223^2}{2\times \dfrac{1609.34}{2}}\\\Rightarrow a=0.34769\ m/s^2

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{35.7631-26.8223}{0.34769}\\\Rightarrow t=25.71486\ s

Time taken is 25.71486 seconds

A mass M is hanging from a rope of length L and mass m. A student gives the mass a quick horizontal shake to set up a wave which
disa [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for velocity of wave produced in a hanging wire can be given  as follows

Velocity v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{m} }

where T is tension in wire and m is mass of wire per unit length.

In the given case

T = Mg + mg

= Mg

neglecting weight of rope

mass of the rope per unit length

= m / L

Velocity of wave

= \sqrt{\frac{Mg}{\frac{m}{L} } }

= \sqrt{\frac{MgL}{m} }

The intensity of light from a star varies inversely as the square of the distance. If you lived on a planet ten times farther aw
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity of the sun on earth.

That is,

Intensity of sun on the other planet, Iₒ = (intensity of the sun on earth, Iₑ)/100

Explanation:

Let the intensity of light be represented by I

Let the distance of the star be d

I ∝ (1/d²)

I = k/d²

For the earth,

Iₑ = k/dₑ²

k = Iₑdₑ²

For the other planet, let intensity be Iₒ and distance be dₒ

Iₒ = k/dₒ²

But dₒ = 10dₑ

Iₒ = k/(10dₑ)²

Iₒ = k/100dₑ²

But k = Iₑdₑ²

Iₒ = Iₑdₑ²/100dₑ² = Iₑ/100

Iₒ = Iₑ/100

Meaning the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity on earth.
