Answer:

One would need to know how far apart the towns are:

T = SA / 40      time it takes for first cyclist to travel S1

T = SB / 60       time it takes for cyclist B to travel distance S2

SA + SB = S     the distance between the towns

SB = 60 / 40 SA = 1.5 SA

SA + 1.5 SA = S

S = 2.5 SA where cyclist travels distance SA

The time will depend on the separation of the towns.

A pendulum consists of a 1.7-kg block hanging on a 1.6-m length string. A 0.01-kg bullet moving with a horizontal velocity of 82
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

0.42 m

Explanation:

mass of pendulum, M = 1.7 kg

Length of pendulum , l = 1.6 m

mass of bullet, m = 0.01 kg

initial velocity of bullet, u = 828 m/s

final velocity of bullet, v = 340 m/s

initial velocity of pendulum, U = 0

Let the final velocity of pendulum is V.

Use conservation of momentum for bullet and the pendulum

m x u + M x U = m x v + M x V

0.01 x 828 + 1.7 x 0 = 0.01 x 340 + 1.7 x V

8.28 + 0 = 3.4 = 1.7 V

V = 2.87 m/s

Now the kinetic energy of the pendulum is converted into potential energy of pendulum and let it raised to a height of h from the initial level.

Use energy conservation

Kinetic energy of the pendulum  = potential energy of the pendulum

0.5 x M x V² = M x g x h

0.5 x 2.87 x 2.87 = 9.8 x h

h = 0.42 m

Who has greater displacement, an astronaut who has just completed an orbit of the earth or you when you have just traveled from
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is going to sound like an absurd answer, but sometimes physics can be a little strange.

This answer is weird because of the definition of displacement. It means the distance from the starting point to the ending point, disregarding what happened in between. The point is that the astronaut is at the starting point of his orbit. By definition the starting and ending points are the same. His displacement is 0.

So the answer is you have the greater displacement when you walked one way to school.  The starting point and the ending point are different. You have gone further.

However just to make things a little nasty, when you walk home again, your displacement will be the same as the astronaut's -- 0 meters because you will be right back where you started from.

How are light years used to measure distances in the universe
FinnZ [79.3K]
A light year is a unit of distance. It is a distance that light can travel in a years time which is six trillion miles. It is used to measure the distances in space. To take one example, the distance to the next nearest big galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy, from earth is 21,000,000,000,000,000,000 km.
