(1) The time taken for the drag racer to accelerate is 4.89 s

(2) The speed of the contestant (a) in feet per second is 30.89 ft/s (b) in miles per hr is 21.12 miles per hr.

(1) To calculate the time required to accelerate 18 ft/sec² from rest to a velocity of 60 mph, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • t = (v-u)/a........... Equation 1

Where:

  • t = time
  • v = Final velocity
  • u = initial velocity
  • a = acceleration.

From the question,

Given:

  • a = 18 ft/sec² = (18×0.3048) = 5.4864 m/s²
  • v = 60 mph = (60×0.44704) = 26.82 m/s
  • u = 0 m/s ( from rest)

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • t = (26.82-0)/5.4864
  • t = 4.89 seconds

(2) To calculate the speed of the contestant, we use the formula below

Formula:

  • s = d/t............ Equation 1

Where:

  • s = speed of the contestant
  • d = distance
  • t = time.

From the question,

Given:

  • d = 100 m
  • t = 10.6 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • s = 100/10.6
  • s = 9.43 m/s

(a) In feet = (9.43/0.3048) = 30.94 ft/s

(b)  in miles per hr = (9.43×2.24) = 21.12 miles per hr

Hence, (1) The time taken for the drag racer to accelerate is 4.89 s (2) The speed of the contestant (a) in feet per second is 30.89 ft/s (b) in miles per hr is 21.12 miles per hr.

. If you live in a region that has a particular TV station, you can sometimes pick up some of its audio portion on your FM radio
Reil [10]

Answer:

Please see below as the answer is self-explanatory.

Explanation:

The low band of the VHF TV Spectrum, spans channels 2-6, from 54 to 88 Mhz.

In the analog TV, in the Americas, the total bandwidth of any channel is 6 Mhz, with the visual carrier modulated in VSS (Vestigial Side Band) at 1.25 Mhz from the lowest frequency of the channel.

The aural carrier is located at 4.5 Mhz from the visual carrier, and is FM modulated.

For Channel 6, which spans between 82 and  88 Mhz, the visual carrier is at 83.25 Mhz, so the aural carrier is at 87.75 Mhz, which falls within the FM Band, so it is possible to listen the audio part of this channel in a FM radio receiver, even at a lower volume, due to the FM radio has a greater deviation than TV aural carrier.

A lens collects light and focuses it into a small spot. This increases the ________ of the light wave.A lens collects light and
Anika [276]

Answer:

intensity.

Explanation:

when the light collected by the lens is focused into a small spot it tends to increase the intensity of the light.

as different path of light with different intensity combines from passing through the lens it tends to make the light path and intensity coherent and after being coherent there intensity increases.
