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 figure skater rotating at 5.00 rad/s with arms extended has a moment of inertia of 2.25 kg·m2. If the arms are pulled in so t
Serggg [28]

a) 6.25 rad/s

The law of conservation of angular momentum states that the angular momentum must be conserved.

The angular momentum is given by:

L=I\omega

where

I is the moment of inertia

\omega is the angular speed

Since the angular momentum must be conserved, we can write

L_1 = L_2\\I_1 \omega_1 = I_2 \omega_2

where we have

I_1 = 2.25 kg m^2 is the initial moment of inertia

\omega_1 = 5.00 rad/s is the initial angular speed

I_2 = 2.25 kg m^2 is the final moment of inertia

\omega_2 is the final angular speed

Solving for \omega_2, we find

\omega_2 = \frac{I_1 \omega_1}{I_2}=\frac{(2.25 kg m^2)(5.00 rad/s)}{1.80 kg m^2}=6.25 rad/s

b) 28.1 J and 35.2 J

The rotational kinetic energy is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2

where

I is the moment of inertia

\omega is the angular speed

Applying the formula, we have:

- Initial kinetic energy:

K=\frac{1}{2}(2.25 kg m^2)(5.00 rad/s)^2=28.1 J

- Final kinetic energy:

K=\frac{1}{2}(1.80 kg m^2)(6.25 rad/s)^2=35.2 J

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

The second snowball hits the ground with a kinetic energy of 100 Joules

Explanation:

Given that,

From the edge of a roof you throw a snowball downward that strikes the ground with 100 J of kinetic energy. It is a case of conservation of energy.

At the highest point,

mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2=mgh'+0          

100=mgh'

At lowest point,

mgh'=K

From above two equation, we get :

Kinetic energy, K = 100 J

So, the second snowball hits the ground with a kinetic energy of 100 Joules. So, the correct option is (A).

Answer: a) 0.12m; b) 1,6 s; c) 0.625 1/s

Explanation: The simple harmonic movement can be described by a sin or cosine function  in time.

This can be in the form:

X(t)= A Sin/Cos (wt+φ) where φ is initial phase o position at t=0

w the angular frequency are related to the frequency (f) as 2Pif

The life cycle of stars may be boiled down into a tug of war, lasting billions of years, between two basic forces. In your own w
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Stars are very massive stellar objects, which means that they have a very intense force of gravity. This is the first of the forces entering this "war".

In addition to that, due to the force of gravity that drives the star to contract, the process known as fusion occurs (the union of atoms of one element that results in another element, hydrogen fuses in stars to produce helium). The fusion created in the high temperatures of the center of the star generates an enormous amount of energy (which causes the stars to shine) and a force going outward of the star counteracting gravity, this is the second force in the "war" .

In a stable star these two forces (gravity going inward and the pressure created by the fusion going outward ) are in balance, preventing the star from exploding or collapsing. But eventually the star exhausts its "fuel" (hydrogen atoms) to produce fusion within it (although stars also fuse helium and other heavier elements, but once the hydrogen is finished the star is near its end), which decreases the force outward from the star, making the force that wins this battle to be the force of gravity.

When the force of gravity wins, the star collapses on itself and from here, depending on the star's mass, several things can happen, such as the star becoming a white dwarf, a supernova, even a black hole.
