The mass of a meteoroid was found to be 1.24 × 107 kilograms. Write the mass in standard notation.

1 answer:

5 0

The value we are given in the question is 1.24 * 10^7. This form of writing number is called scientific notation. The standard notation is the normal, regular way of writing numbers. Scientific notation and standard notations are interchangeable.
1.24 * 10^7 written in standard notation will be = 1.24 * 10000000 = 12400000.
Thus, the mass of the meteoroid was 12400000 kg.<span />

One end of a piano wire is wrapped around a cylindrical tuning peg and the other end is fixed in place. The tuning peg is turned

liq [111]

Answer:

$T = 3183 N$

Explanation:

When the screw is turned by two turns then change in the length of the wire is given as

$\Delta L = 2(2\pi r)$

$\Delta L = 4\pi r$

$\Delta L = 4(\pi)(1.0 mm)$

$\Delta L = 12.56 mm$

now we know by the formula of Young's modulus

$Y = \frac{T/A}{\Delta L/L}$

so we have

$T = \frac{AY \Delta L}{L}$

$T = \frac{\pi (0.55 \times 10^{-3})^2(2.0 \times 10^{11})(12.56 \times 10^{-3})}{0.75}$

$T = 3183 N$

89. An electron is moving in a straight line with a velocity of 4.0×105 m/s. It enters a region 5.0 cm long where it undergoes a

ddd [48]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the electron, $u=4\times 10^5\ m/s$

Distance, s = 5 cm = 0.05 cm

Acceleration of the electron, $a=6\times 10^{12}\ m/s^2$

(a) Let v is the electron's velocity when it emerges from this region. It can be calculated as :

$v^2=u^2+2as$

$v^2=(4\times 10^5)^2+2\times 6\times 10^{12}\times 0.05$

v = 871779.788 m/s

$v=8.71\times 10^5\ m/s$

(b) Let t is the time for which the electron take to cross the region. It can be calculated as:

$t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}$

$t=\dfrac{8.71\times 10^5-4\times 10^5}{6\times 10^{12}}$

$t=7.85\times 10^{-8}\ s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

You are wallpapering two walls of a room. One wall measures 15 ft by 12 ft and the other measures 9 ft by 12 ft. The wall paper

enyata [817]

Answer:

5.76 round off to 6

Explanation:

wall 1 = 15 × 12 = 180

wall 2 = 9 × 12 = 108

now 1 roll covers 50 square feet

formula = wall 1 + wall 2 / 50

= 180 + 108 / 50

= 288÷ 50

= 5.76

The rotational speeds of four generators are listed in RPM (revolutions per minute). Arrange the generators in order based on th

artcher [175]

with the same generator, so the only factor for producing the slectric field is only the speed. The faster the rotational speed of the generator the greater it produce electric field. So the sequence is 3000 rpm < 3200 rpm < 3400 rpm < 3600 rpm

A front wheel drive car starts from rest and accelerates to the right. Knowing that the tires do not slip on the road, what is t

Korolek [52]

Answer:

static friction acting opposite to the direction of travel

Explanation:

Because the Frictional force of the front wheels act to oppose the spinning, so, For the front wheels to roll without slipping, the friction must be static friction pointing in the direction of travel of the car.
