Hello!

We can use the kinematic equation:
a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

a = acceleration (m/s²)

vf = final velocity (45 m/s)
vi = initial velocity (25 m/s)

t = time (5 sec)

Plug in the givens:
a = \frac{45-25}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = \boxed{4 m/s^2}

A physicist drives through a stop light. When he is pulled over, he tells the police officer that the Doppler shift made the red
Alik [6]

Answer:

Speed of physicist car is 0.036c or 1.08 x 10⁷ m/s .

Explanation:

Doppler Effect is defined as the change in frequency or wavelength of the wave as the source or/and observer moving away or towards each other.

In this case, the Doppler effect equation in terms of wavelength is :

\lambda_{s} = \lambda_{o}\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } }       ......(1)

Here \lambda_{s} is source wavelength, \lambda_{o} is observed wavelength, v is speed of the observer and c is the speed of light.

Given :

Source wavelength, \lambda_{s} = 660 nm = 660 x 10⁻⁹ m

Observed wavelength, \lambda_{0} = 555 nm = 555 x 10⁻⁹ m

Substitute these values in the equation (1).

555\times10^{-9} } = 660\times10^{-9} \sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } }

\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } } = 0.84

{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } } = (0.84)^{2} = 0.7056

1-\frac{v}{c}=0.7056+0.7056\frac{v}{c}

\frac{v}{c}=\frac{0.2944}{8.056}

v = 0.036c=0.036\times3\times10^{8}

v = 1.08 x 10⁷ m/s

Example of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion​
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

In fission, energy is gained by splitting apart heavy atoms, for example uranium, into smaller atoms such as iodine, caesium, strontium, xenon and barium, to name just a few. However, fusion is combining light atoms, for example two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium, to form the heavier helium.

The first transistor, made of gold, plastic, and germanium (a metallic
Citrus2011 [14]

The first transistor made of gold, plastic and germanium was about the size of adult's fingernail.

Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The first transistor made of gold, plastic and germanium was invented in Bell laboratories. It is termed as point contact transistor. As it is made like a pointed arrow with both the sides covered with layer of gold foil. The germanium is used at the tip, just like the base and the gold foil ends as collector and emitter.

The size of this transistor is about the size of adult's fingernail. It is very small in size and it was one of its kind. Due to this small size and the working capacity by the point contact, it is termed as point contact transistor.
