Answer:

9.5 x 10^15 meters per year

Explanation:

So, you have:

$\frac{300,000,000}{1} \frac{meters}{second}$

We want the amount of meters light travels in one year. There are 3600 seconds in 1 hour, 24 hours in 1 day, and 365 days in a year. Using these conversion factors, we can set up some nice cancellations:

$\frac{300,000,000}{1} \frac{meters}{second}\frac{3600}{1} \frac{seconds}{hour} \frac{24}{1} \frac{hours}{day} \frac{365}{1} \frac{days}{year}$

Seconds will cancel, hours will cancel, days will cancel. We have meters per year:

$300,000,000*3600*24*365\frac{meters}{year} =9.5x10^{15}\frac{meters}{year}$

A 99.1-kg baseball player slides into second base. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the player and the ground is μk =

Stels [109]

Answer:

628.022466 N

8.61 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass

$\mu$ = Coefficient of friction

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$F_f=\mu mg\\\Rightarrow F_f=0.646\times 99.1\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_f=628.022466\ N$

Magnitude of frictional force is 628.022466 N

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F_f}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{628.022466}{99.1}\\\Rightarrow a=6.33726\ m/s^2$

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=u-6.33726\times 1.36\\\Rightarrow u=8.61\ m/s$

Initial speed of the player is 8.61 m/s

How does the atmospheric temperature and size of inner planets compare with those of outer planets?

amid [387]

The inner planets are rocky and have diameters of less than 13,000 kilometers. The outer planets include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The smaller, inner planets include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Inner planet's atmosphere is thin. (Mercury has no atmosphere). Outer Planets: Outer planets' atmosphere is very thick. The four inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are warmer than the outer gas giants. However, the temperature of the planets does not follow a linear path from the Sun.

A object with a mass of 1.5 kg is lifted from the ground to a height of 0.22 m what is the objects potential energy

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 1.5 × 10 × 0.22

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson needs to escape from the fourth floor of a burning building (in a movie). He ties a rope around his wa

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Final Speed of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson = 15.812 m/s

Explanation:

Let's start out with finding the force acting downwards because of the mass of 'The Rock':

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson: 118kg x 9.81m/s = 1157.58 N

Now the problem also states that the kinetic friction of the desk in this problem is 370 N

Since the pulley is smooth, the weight of Dwayne Johnson being transferred fully, and pulls the desk with a force of 1157.58 N. The frictional force of the desk is resisting this motion by a force of 370 N. Subtracting both forces we get the resultant force on the desk to be: 1157.58 - 370 = 787.58 N

Now lets use F = ma to calculate for the acceleration of the desk:

787.58 = 63 x acceleration

acceleration = 12.501 m/s

Finally, we can use the motion equation:

$v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s$

here u = 0 m/s (since initial speed of the desk is 0)

a = 12.501 m/s

and s = 10 m

Solving this we get:

$v^2 - 0 = 2 * 12.501 * 10$

$v = 15.812 m/s$

Since the desk and Mr. Dwayne Johnson are connected by a taught rope, they are travelling at the same speed. Thus, Dwayne also travels at 15.812 m/s when the desk reaches the window.
