Given speed and the distance that must be covered, the time it will take the ultraviolet light to reach the earth is 3.7 × 10⁴ hours.

<h3>What is Speed?</h3>

Speed is simply referred to as distance traveled per unit time.

Mathematically, Speed = Distance ÷ time.

Given the data in the question;

  • Speed of the Ultraviolet light c = 3.0 × 10⁸m/s = 1.08 × 10⁹km/h
  • Distance it must cover d = 4.0 × 10¹³km
  • Time elapsed t = ?

We substitute our given values into the expression above.

Speed = Distance ÷ time

1.08 × 10⁹km/h = 4.0 × 10¹³km ÷ t

t = 4.0 × 10¹³km ÷ 1.08 × 10⁹km/h

t = 3.7 × 10⁴ hrs

Therefore, given speed and the distance that must be covered, the time it will take the ultraviolet light to reach the earth is 3.7 × 10⁴ hours.

Three carts of masses 4.0 kg, 10kg, and 3.0 kg move on a frictionless track with speeds of v1 = 5.0m/s, v2=3.0m/s, and v3=-3.6 m
gogolik [260]

2.24 m/s is the calculated velocity.

Initial velocity (u) squared plus two times the acceleration (a) times the displacement equals final velocity (v) squared (s). Final velocity (v) is equal to the square root of initial velocity (u) squared plus two times the acceleration (a) times displacement when v is the variable being solved for (s).

The cart's masses and speeds are known.

M1 = 4.00 kg, M2 = 10.0 kg, M3 = 3.00 kg, etc.

v1 = 5.00 m/s = 5.00 m/s, v2 = 3.00 m/s = 3.00 m/s, v3 = -4.00 m/s = 4.00 m/s, and m1v1+m2v2+m3v3 = (m1+m2+m3) v=d frac m 1v 1+m 2v 2+m 3v 3, where (m1+m2 + m3) is the product of (v1 v 1+m2v2+m3v3).

"m 1+m 2+m 3" is equivalent to "m 1+m2+m3/m1v 1+m2v2 +m3v3"

the three carts' final velocities are calculated as follows: v=d frac

{4.00kg\sdot5.00m/s+10.0kg\sdot3.00m/s-3.00kg\sdot4.00m/s} 4.24m/s = 4.50kg+10.0kg+3.00kg vs. 4.50kg+10.0kg+3.00kg

5.00m/s/4.00kg/5.00m/s+10.0m/s/3.00m/s/4.00m/s =2.24m/s.

2.24 m/s is the calculated final velocity.
