Answer:

the expected distance is 4.32 m

Explanation:

given data

half life time = 1.8 × 10^{-8} s

speed = 0.8 c = 0.8 × 3 × 10^{8}

to find out

expected distance over

solution

we know c is speed of light in air is 3 × 10^{8} m/s

we calculate expected distance by given formula that is

expected distance = half life time × speed   .........1

put here all these value

expected distance = half life time × speed

expected distance = 1.8 × 10^{-8} ×  0.8 × 3 × 10^{8}

expected distance = 4.32

so the expected distance is 4.32 m

You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 38 m in front of you.Your reaction time
shtirl [24]

Consider the motion of the car before brakes are applied:

v₀ = maximum initial velocity of the car before the brakes are applied

t = reaction time = 0.50 s

x₀ = distance traveled by the car before brakes are applied

since car moves at constant speed before brakes are applied

Using the equation

x₀ = v₀ t

x₀ = v₀  (0.50)


Consider the motion after brakes are applied :

v₀ = initial velocity of the car before the brakes are applied

a = acceleration = - 10 m/s²

v = final velocity of the car after it comes to stop = 0 m/s

x = stopping distance = initial distance - distance traveled before applying the brakes = 38 - x₀ = 38 - v₀  (0.50)

Using the equation

v² = v²₀ + 2 a x

inserting the values

0² = v²₀ + 2 (- 10) (38 - v₀  (0.50))

v²₀ = 20 (38 - v₀  (0.50))

v₀ = 23 m/s

Waves begin to "feel bottom" when the depth of water is
LekaFEV [45]
I think the correct answer would be one half the wavelength. Waves would "feel bottom" when the water is at the depth of 0.5 of the wavelength. "Feel bottom" is a term used to describe that the depth of water affects the wave properties. Hope this answers the question.
