Given that average speed is distance traveled divided by time, determine the values of m and n when the time it takes a beam of

light to get from the Sun to the Earth (in s) is written in scientific notation. Note: the speed of light is approximately 3.0×108 m/s.

If speed = distance/time , then time = speed/distance.

So...

Speed of light = 3*10^8(m/s)
Average distance from Earth to Sun = 149.6*10^9(m)

Therefore, t=(3*10^8(m/s))/(149.6*10^9(m))

I hope this was a helpful explanation, please reply if you have further questions about the problem.

Good luck!

A 50-kg person stands 1.5 m away from one end of a uniform 6.0-m-long scaffold of mass 70.0 kg.
babymother [125]

Answer

given,

mass of the person, m = 50 Kg

length of scaffold = 6 m

mass of scaffold, M= 70 Kg

distance of person standing from one end = 1.5 m

Tension in the vertical rope = ?

now equating all the vertical forces acting in the system.

T₁ + T₂ = m g + M g

T₁ + T₂ = 50 x 9.8  + 70 x 9.8

T₁ + T₂ = 1176...........(1)

system is equilibrium so, the moment along the system will also be zero.

taking moment about rope with tension T₂.

now,

T₁ x 6 - mg x (6-1.5) - M g x 3 = 0

'3 m' is used because the weight of the scaffold pass through center of gravity.

6 T₁ = 50 x 9.8 x 4.5 + 70 x 9.8 x 3

6 T₁ = 4263

    T₁ = 710.5 N

from equation (1)

T₂ = 1176 - 710.5

 T₂ = 465.5 N

hence, T₁ = 710.5 N and T₂ = 465.5 N

A rectangular coil of dimensions 5.40cm x 8.50cm consists of25 turns of wire. The coil carries a current of 15.0 mA.
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

(a) Magnetic moment will be 17.212\times 10^{-4}A-m^2

(b) Torque will be 6.024\times 10^{-4}N-m

Explanation:

We have given dimension of the rectangular 5.4 cm × 8.5 cm

So area of the rectangular coil A=5.4\times 8.5=45.9cm^2=45.9\times 10^{-4}m^2

Current is given as i=15mA=15\times 10^{-3}A

Number of turns N = 25

(A) We know that magnetic moment is given by magnetic\ moment=NiA=25\times 45.9\times 10^{-4}\times 15\times 10^{-3}=17.212\times 10^{-4}A-m^2

(b) Magnetic field is given as B = 0.350 T

We know that torque is given by \tau =BINA=0.350\times 15\times 10^{-3}\times 25\times 45.9\times 10^{-4}=6.024\times 10^{-4}N-m

Two students walk in the same direction along a straight path, at a constant speed one at 0.90 m/s and the other at 1.90 m/s. a.
creativ13 [48]

Answer: a) 456.66 s ; b) 564.3 m

Explanation: The time spend to cover any distance a constant velocity is given by:

v= distance/time so t=distance/v

The slower student time is: t=780m/0.9 m/s= 866.66 s

For the faster students t=780 m/1,9 m/s= 410.52 s

Therefore the time difference is 866.66-410.52= 456.14 s

In order to calculate the distance that faster student should  walk

to arrive 5,5 m before that slower student, we consider the follow expressions:

distance =vslower*time1

distance= vfaster*time 2

The time difference is 5.5 m that is equal to 330 s

replacing in the above expression we have

time 1= 627 s

time2 = 297 s

The distance traveled is 564,3 m
