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

A black, totally absorbing piece of cardboard of area A = 1.7 cm2 intercepts light with an intensity of 8.1 W/m2 from a camera s
Furkat [3]

Answer:

2.7x10⁻⁸ N/m²

Explanation:

Since the piece of cardboard absorbs totally the light, the radiation pressure can be found using the following equation:

p_{rad} = \frac{I}{c}

<u>Where:</u>

p_{rad}: is the radiation pressure

I: is the intensity of the light = 8.1 W/m²

c: is the speed of light = 3.00x10⁸ m/s

Hence, the radiation pressure is:

p_{rad} = \frac{I}{c} = \frac{8.1 W/m^{2}}{3.00 \cdot 10^{8} m/s} = 2.7 \cdot 10^{-8} N/m^{2}

Therefore, the radiation pressure that is produced on the cardboard by the light is 2.7x10⁻⁸ N/m².

I hope it helps you!

Does the surrounding air become warm or cool when vapour phase of H2O condenses? Explain
mel-nik [20]
The surrounding air will become warm when water vapor condenses. The vapors when become water will give away latent heat they have, we know that latent heat is required for the object to change states, so, the latent heat the water vapor had when it became water vapor from water will be given out when it again becomes water.

A shot putter releases the shot some distance above the level ground with a velocity of 12.0 m/s, 51.0 ∘above the horizontal. Th
alina1380 [7]

A) Zero

The motion of the shot is a projectile's motion: this means that there is only one force acting on the projectile, which is gravity. However, gravity only acts in the vertical direction: so, there are no forces acting in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the x-component of the acceleration is zero.

B) -9.8 m/s^2

The vertical acceleration is given by the only force acting in the vertical direction, which is gravity:

F=mg

where m is the projectile's mass and g is the gravitational acceleration. Therefore, the y-component of the shot's acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity:

a_y = g = -9.8 m/s^2

where the negative sign means it points downward.

C) 7.6 m/s

The x-component of the shot's velocity is given by:

v_x = v_0 cos \theta

where

v_0 = 12.0 m/s is the initial velocity

\theta=51.0^{\circ} is the angle of the shot

Substituting into the equation, we find

v_x = (12.0 m/s)(cos 51^{\circ})=7.6 m/s

D) 9.3 m/s

The y-component of the shot's velocity is given by:

v_y = v_0 sin \theta

where

v_0 = 12.0 m/s is the initial velocity

\theta=51.0^{\circ} is the angle of the shot

Substituting into the equation, we find

v_y = (12.0 m/s)(sin 51^{\circ})=9.3 m/s

E) 7.6 m/s

We said at point A) that the acceleration along the x-direction is zero: therefore, the velocity along the x-direction does not change, so the x-component of the velocity at the end of the trajectory is equal to the x-velocity at the beginning:

v_x = 7.6 m/s

F) -11.1 m/s

The y-component of the velocity at time t is given by:

v_y(t) = v_y + at

where

v_y = 9.3 m/s is the initial y-velocity

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the vertical acceleration

t is the time

Since the total time of the motion is t=2.08 s, we can substitute this value into the equation, and we find:

v_y(2.08 s)=9.3 m/s + (-9.8 m/s^2)(2.08 s)=-11.1 m/s

where the negative sign means the vertical velocity is now downward.

Automobile A starts from O and accelerates at the constant rate of 0.75 m/s2. A short time later it is passed by bus B which is
boyakko [2]

Answer:

they meet from point o at distance 50.46 m and time taken is 11.6 seconds

Explanation:

given data

acceleration = 0.75 m/s²

speed B = 6 m/s

time B = 20 s

to find out

when and where the vehicles passed each other

solution

we consider here distance = x , when they meet after o point

and time = t for meet point z

we find first Bus B distance for 20 s ec

distance B = velocity × time

distance B = 6 × 20

distance B = 120 m

so

B take time to meet is calculate by distance formula

distance = velocity × time

120 - x = 6 × t

x = 120 - 6t   .................1

and

distance of A when they meet by distance formula

distance = ut + 1/2 × at²

here u is initial speed = 0 and t is time

x = 0 + 1/2 × 0.75 × t²

x = 0.375 × t²      .............2

so from equation 1 and 2

0.375 × t²  = 120 - 6t

t = 11.6

so time is 11.6 second

and

distance from point o from equation 2

x = 0.375 (11.6)²

x = 50.46

so distance from point o is 50.46 m
