Suppose the Sun is 1.29025 X 108 km from
Earth.
The speed of light is 2.99792 x 108 m/s.
How long does it take for its light to reach
us?
Answer in units of min.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It takes the Sun's light 7.17 minutes to reach us.

Explanation:

We can calculate the time that takes the light to reach us by using the following equation:

[tex] t = \frac{d}{c} [/tex]    

Where:

d: is the distance = 1.29025x10⁸ km = 1.29025x10¹¹ m

c: si the speed of light = 2.99792x10⁸ m/s  

Hence, the time is:

[tex] t = \frac{d}{c} = \frac{1.29025 \cdot 10^{11} m}{2.99792 \cdot 10^{8} m/s} = 430.38 s = 7.17 min [/tex]

Therefore, it takes the Sun's light 7.17 minutes to reach us.

I hope it helps you!

A 65 kg woman is inside an elevator. (A) Calculate her apparent weight (normal force) in Newtons if the elevator moves at constant speed of 10 m/s downward. Be sure to keep 3 significant digits.

Answers

Answer:

W = 637 N

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law

         F -W = m a

where F is the force, m the mass and the acceleration

in this case the force is the weight of the body and as the elevator goes at constant speed the acceleration is zero

         F = W

         a = 0

       

          F = W

          W = m g

4. A weightlifter raises a mass mat a constant speed to a height h in time t. Which of the following
expressions corresponds with the work done by the weightlifter?
a. mgh
b.-mgh
C. mgh/t
d. -mgh/

Answers

Answer:

a. mgh

Explanation

The work done by the lifter is equal to its potential energy since he is covering a height and under the influence of gravity.

potential energy = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

Hence the required workdone = PE = mgh

A student pours a small amount of ethanol into a beaker. She places the beaker on an electronic
balance to find its mass, and adds a thermometer to measure the temperature of the liquid.
Two hours later, she returns to her experiment. She notices that the mass of the bezker and its
contents has decreased. She can also see that the temperature of the ethanol has decreased.
She guesses that some of the ethanol has evaporated from the beaker.
Describe how evaporation can explain the decrease in mass.
b Describe how evaporation can explain the decrease in temperature.
a

Answers

Answer:

Evaporation is the vaporization of a liquid to the gaseous phase which occurs at the liquid's surface when the gas above the surface is unsaturated or contains less amount of the evaporating substance and the molecules at the surface absorbs enough energy during the transfer of energy from internal collision to withstand the vapor pressure of the surrounding and exist as a gas

a) Evaporation can explain the decrease in mass as follows;

Given that evaporation is the conversion of a liquid to a gas, the loss in mass of the ethanol can be explained by the conversion of some of the ethanol liquid to gas by evaporation such that the volume of ethanol remaining, and therefore, the mass of ethanol is reduced

b) The evaporation of the energized ethanol molecules from the surface of the ethanol results in a loss of energy of the remaining ethanol in the beaker, which can be observed as a reduction in temperature of the ethanol

Explanation:

This empty trunk has a mass of 10 kilograms. The weights also have a mass of 10 kilograms. If the weights are placed in the trunk, what will be its mass? How will this affect the force needed to accelerate the trunk?

Answers

Answer:

20 kg

More force required after placing weight in trunk to accelerate the trunk than before when the trunk is empty.

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of empty trunk, m=10 kg

Mass of a weight, m'=10 kg

We have to find the total mass after placing weight in trunk and how will this affect the force needed to accelerate the trunk.

Total mass =m+m'

Total mass=10+10=20 kg

We know that

Force, F=ma

Force is directly proportional to mass.

When we placed weight in trunk then the mass of trunk increases .Therefore, now more force required to accelerate the trunk than before when the trunk is empty.

Explanation:

Three point charges are arranged along the x axis. Charge q1 = -4.10 nC is located at x= 0.250 mand charge q2 = 2.20 nC is at x= -0.320 m . A positive point charge q3 is located at the origin.


What must the value of q3 be for the net force on this point charge to have magnitude 3.10 μN ? (ans in nC)


What is the direction of the net force on q3? + or - direction


Where along the x axis can q3 be placed and the net force on it be zero, other than the trivial answers of x=+[infinity] and x=−[infinity]? (ans in m)

Answers

Answer:

1) q₃ is approximately -7.58 nC

2) The direction of the net force on 'q₃' is the negative '-' direction

3) For the net force on 'q₃' to be zero, 'q₃' can be placed at x = -0.079 m or x = -1.881 m

Explanation:

1) The force, 'F', between two charged spheres is given as follows;

[tex]F = \dfrac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^2}[/tex]

The net force acting on the point charge, 'q₃', is given as follows;

[tex]F_{NET} = \dfrac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_3}{x_1^2} + \dfrac{k \cdot q_2 \cdot q_3}{x_2^2}[/tex]

By substituting the given values, we have;

[tex]F_{NET} = 3.10 \ \mu N = \dfrac{k \cdot (-4.10 \ nC) \cdot q_3}{(0.250 \ m) ^2} + \dfrac{k \cdot 2.20 \ nC \cdot q_3}{(-0.320 \ m)^2}[/tex]

[tex]3.01 \ \mu N= q_3 \cdot \left ( \dfrac{k \cdot (-4.10 \ nC) }{(0.250 \ m) ^2} + \dfrac{k \cdot 2.20 \ nC }{(-0.320 \ m)^2} \right) = -\dfrac{14117 \ nC \cdot K}{320}[/tex]

[tex]\therefore q_3 = 3.01 \ \mu N \times -\dfrac{320 \ m^2}{14117 \ nC \cdot K}[/tex]

K = 9 × 10⁹ N·m²·C⁻²

[tex]\therefore q_3 = 3.01 \ \times 10^{-6} \ N \times -\dfrac{320 \ m^2}{14117 \times 10^{-9} \ C \times 9 \times 10^9 \ N \cdot m^2 \cdot C^{-2}}= -7.58 \ nC[/tex]

q₃ ≈ -7.58 nC

2) Given that the negative charge, 'q₁' (-4.10 nC), is located at x = 0.250 m, which is on the positive, '+' side of the origin, it will repel the negatively charged 'q₃', to the '-' direction. q₃ will also be attracted to the '-' direction by the positively charged 'q₂' which is at -0.320 m on the negative side of the origin

The net force's direction on q₃ will be in the '-' direction

3) For zero net force, we have;

The distance between the given point charges, r = 0.250 - (-0.320)) = 0.57 m

Let 'r1' represent the distance between 'q1' and 'q3', therefore, the distance between 'q2' and 'q3' is 0.57 - r1

By substitution, we have;

[tex]0 \ N= q_3 \cdot \left ( \dfrac{k \cdot (-4.10 \ nC) }{(0.57 - r_1 ) ^2} + \dfrac{k \cdot 2.20 \ nC }{(r_1)^2} \right)[/tex]

[tex]\therefore \dfrac{k \cdot 4.10 \ nC }{(0.57 - r_1 ) ^2} = \dfrac{k \cdot 2.20 \ nC }{(r_1)^2}[/tex]

From which we have;

[tex]\dfrac{4.10 \ nC }{(0.57 - r_1 ) ^2} = \dfrac{2.20 \ nC }{(r_1)^2}[/tex]

(r₁)²×4.10 = 2.20 × (0.57 - r₁)²

From the above equation, we have;

95,000·r₁²+ 125,400·r₁-35739 = 0

Solving, using a graphing calculator we get;

r₁ ≈ 0.241 or r₁ ≈ -1.561

Where, 'r₁', is measured from 'q₂', therefore, we have;

r₁ = 0.241 + (-0.320) ≈ -0.079 or r₁ = -1.561 + (-0.320) ≈ -1.881

Therefore, the charge 'q₃' can be placed at x = -0.079 or x = -1.881 for the ne force on it to be zero

An object has 1200 J of gravitational potential energy when it is dropped. Right when the object hits the ground how much kinetic energy does it have?

Answers

Answer:

The kinetic energy is 1200 J

Explanation:

The Principle of Conservation of energy states that "energy is neither created nor destroyed, it is transformed".

This means that energy can be transformed from one form to another, but the total amount of energy always remains constant, that is, the total energy is the same before and after each transformation.

The mechanical energy of a body or a physical system is the sum of its kinetic energy and the potential energy. According to the Principle of Conservation of Energy for mechanical energy, the total mechanical energy that a body possesses is constant at every instant of time.

Since mechanical energy is equal to the sum of kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy that a body possesses, the only way to stay constant is that:

when the kinetic energy increases the gravitational potential energy decreases, when gravitational potential energy increases, kinetic energy decreases.

Due to the Principle of Conservation of Energy you can say that the gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.  So Gravitational potential energy at the top = kinetic energy at the bottom

The kinetic energy is 1200 J

A wave travels at 13 m/s and the crests are 6 meters apart. How many waves would you see pass you by per second? (round up to the nearest decimal)
(PLS QUICK)

Answers

Answer:Number of waves =2.2

Explanation:

The frequency of A wave is defined as the number of waves moving  a fixed point per second which is given as

f=[tex]\frac{N}{t}[/tex]

F= Frequency

N= number of waves

t= time

We first find the frequency

Given velocity of the wave, v = 13m/s

and wavelength, λ as 6meters(distance between two consecutive crest)

, we fiind the frequency using

v= f  λ

frequency = v /  λ

= (13m/s ) / 6

=2.16s-1

f =  [tex]\frac{N}{t}[/tex]

2.16s₋¹=  [tex]\frac{N}{1s}[/tex]

Therefore N, Number of waves =  2.16 waves  rounded up to 2.2 waves

Georgia drops a brick from the top of an 80.0 m building. What is the velocity of the brick when it hits the ground?

Answers

Answer:

the velocity of the brick when it hits the ground is 39.60 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

height through which the ball is dropped, h = 80.0 m

the initial velocity of the brick, u = 0

The final velocity of the brick when it hits the ground is calculated as;

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 80

v² = 1568

v = √1568

v = 39.60 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the brick when it hits the ground is 39.60 m/s

A load of 600N is lifted using a first class lever applying an effort of 350N. If the distance between the fulcrum and the effort is 60cm and the distance between the load and the fulcrum is 30cm, calculate it's efficiency

Answers

Answer:

The efficiency of the machine is 85.5%

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage = Load/Effort

= 600/350 = 1.71

Velocity ratio = distance moved by effort/distance moved by load

= 60/30 = 2

Efficiency = (M.A/V.R) × 100%

= (1.71/2) × 100

= 0.855 × 100

= 85.5%

The efficiency of the machine is 85.5%

Given:

Load= 600N

Effort= 350N

distance between the fulcrum and the effort = 60cm

distance between the load and the fulcrum = 30cm

The formula of the mechanical advantage(MA) of a lever is given as

Mechanical advantage = Load/Effort

Mechanical advantage = [tex]\frac{600}{350} =1.71[/tex]

Velocity ratio = distance moved by effort/distance moved by load

Velocity ratio = [tex]\frac{60}{30} =2[/tex]

Efficiency = (M.A/V.R) × 100%

= (1.71/2) × 100

= 0.855 × 100

Efficiency= 85.5%

Suate and explain whether or not the spring will return to its original shape.​

Answers

Answer:

Spring cannot return to its original, since a part of its deformation is plastic, not elastic.

Explanation:

Physically speaking, stress is equal to the axial force divided by effective transversal area of spring. In addition, springs have usually a linear relationship between stress and strain in elastic region, since they are made of ductile materials. Axial force is directly proportional to axial stress, which is also directly proportional to axial strain.

Then, if force is greater than force associated with elastic limit of the spring, then spring cannot return to its original, since a part of its deformation is plastic, not elastic.
