The necessary light intensity of the disk if the disk has mass 3.89 g and radius 2.40 cm is 6.483 x 10^12cd.

<h3>Calculations and Parameters:</h3>

a. Given that:

  • i= intensity of light
  • m= mass of disk
  • g= gravitational acceleration
  • c= speed of light
  • a= cross-sectional area of the disk

I = P/A

= Force x Speed/Area

Gravitational force, F= GM1M2/r^2

F= ma, F= mg

I= mg x c/q

That is,

i= mass x gravitational acceleration x speed/area

b.

Mass= 3.89g

Radius, r= 2.40cm

i=?

i= mg x c/a

Speed of light= 3.0 x 10^8 m/s

Area, a= /pi r^2

= 3.142 x (0.024)^2

= 3.142 x 0.000576

= 0.0018m^2.

i= 3.89 x 10 x 3.0 x 10^8/0.0018

i= 6.483 x 10^12cd.

c. Light has no mass, therefore, it lacks momentum and cannot exert pressure for propulsion of materials.

The speed of a car during a trip is represented in the graph. Compare distance and displacement at four hours into the trip.
mezya [45]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: D.

Explanation:

Distance refers to the amount of space between two points, it is a scalar quantity.

Displacement refers to the space between two points, measure from the minimum path linking them, it is a vector quantity.

I'm not agree with these answers, because the total distance  is approximately 500km.

A) The distance traveled is 300 km.  This answer is not correct.

B) Distance is 300 km and displacement is 0 km.  This answer is not correct because the displacement is also 500 km.

C) Distance is 300 km/hour and displacement is 300 km. 300 km/h is a measure of speed not of distance, this option is wrong.

D) Both distance traveled and displacement are 300 km. I think this is the correct answer because distance and displacement measure the same. but I think both measure 500 km.

A 100 kg roller coaster car is located at the top of a hill where the height is 20 m. What is the velocity when it reaches the b
galina1969 [7]

The velocity of the car at the bottom of the hill=19.8 m/s

mass= 100 kg

height= h=20 m

Velocity at the bottom=V

Using the law of conservation of energy

potential energy at top = kinetic energy at the bottom

m g h= 1/2 m v²

g h= 1/2 v²

9.8 (20)=1/2 V²

V=19.8 m/s

Thus the velocity of car at the bottom of hill=19.8 m/s

wink is the seismic station closest to the earthquake. describe two evidences from the seismogram that demonstrates this?
kotykmax [81]

Well, we don't know if it's the CLOSEST one, but it's closer than the other ones on this print-out.

There are actually three clues to this in the seismograms:

1). The waves from the tremor reach the Wink station first ... the P wave gets there 50 seconds before Chicago and 3 whole minutes before Tampa.

2). They are stronger (greater amplitude) at Wink than at Chicago or Tampa.

3). The delay between the P wave and the S wave is the smallest at Wink. This delay between the two waves grows as the detector is farther from the quake.
