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!

1) They are able to balance the torques due to gravity.

The torque is equal fo Force * lever arm.

The force downward is due to gravity, Force = mass*gravity.

Then the heavier student will produce a bigger force downgar and he/she shall shorten the lever arm of his/her side, by placing himself closer to the rotation axis, than the lighter student.

A vibrating standing wave on a string radiates a sound wave with intensity proportional to the square of the standing-wave ampli
uysha [10]

Answer:

string's damping is 1.03676

Explanation:

given data

sound level = 9.0 dB

time = 1 sec

to find out

string's damping

solution

we will apply here formula for string damping (b) that is

A(t) = A × e^{-bt}   ...................1

we know here I  ∝ A² so

√I(t) = √I × e^{-bt}  

√I(t) / √I =  e^{-bt}     .....................2

we know sound level decreases 9 dB i.e ΔdB = 9

so we can write

ΔdB = 10 log ( I(t) / I)

9 = 10 log ( I(t) / I)

I(t) / I = 10^{-0.9}

I(t) / I = 0.1258

and

√I(t) / I) = √0.1258 = 0.3546     .......................3

from equation 2 and 3 we get

0.3546 = e^{-bt}

take ln both side

-bt = ln 0.3546

here we know t is 1 sec

so

- b = - 1.03676

b = 1.03676

so here string's damping is 1.03676

A roller coaster travels 200 feet horizontally and then rises 135 feet at an angle of 30 degrees above the ground. What is the m
Delvig [45]
Say the initial point is (0,0)

The final point is

x = 200 + 135*cos(30) = 200 + 135*sqrt(3)/2 = 316.91 ft
y = 135*sin(30) = 135/2 = 67.5 ft

Resultant vector = (316.91, 67.5) - (0,0) = 316.91, 67.5) ft

A motorist inflates the tires of her car to a pressure of 180 kPa on a day when the temperature is -8.0° C. When she arrives at
GuDViN [60]

Apply Gay-Lussac's law:

P/T = const.

P = pressure, T = temperature, the quotient of P/T must stay constant.

Initial P and T values:

P = 180kPa, T = -8.0°C = 265.15K

Final P and T values:

P = 245kPa, T = ?

Set the initial and final P/T values equal to each other and solve for the final T:

180/265.15 = 245/T

T = 361K

What is the instantaneous velocity of a freely falling object 9.0 s after it is released from a position of rest? Express your a
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

So instantaneous velocity after 9 sec will be 88.2 m/sec              

Explanation:

We have given time t = 9 sec

As the object is released from rest so its initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

We have to find its final velocity v

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

From first equation of motion we know that v=u+gt

v=0+9.8\times 9=88.2m/sec

So instantaneous velocity after 9 sec will be 88.2 m/sec
