Answer:

4.0208 x 10^16 meters

Explanation:

speed of light in m/s * # seconds in a year * 4.25 years =

2.99792 x 10^8 * 3600*24*365.25 * 4.25 = 4.0208 x 10^16 m

A box slides down a ramp inclined at 24◦ to the horizontal with an acceleration of 1.7 m/s 2 . The acceleration of gravity is 9.

Answer:

Explanation:

In friction, the coefficient of friction formula is expressed as;

$\mu = \frac{F_f}{R}$

Ff is the frictional force = Wsinθ

R is the reaction = Wcosθ

Substitute inti the equation;

$\mu = \frac{Wsin \theta}{W cos\theta} \\\mu = \frac{sin \theta}{cos\theta} \\\mu = tan \theta$

Given

θ = 24°

$\mu = tan 24^0\\\mu = 0.445\\$

Hence the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is 0.445

A 50-g cube of ice, initially at 0.0°C, is dropped into 200 g of water in an 80-g aluminum container, both initially at 30°C.

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

b. 9.5°C

Explanation:

$m_i$ = Mass of ice = 50 g

$T_i$ = Initial temperature of water and Aluminum = 30°C

$L_f$ = Latent heat of fusion = $3.33\times 10^5\ J/kg^{\circ}C$

$m_w$ = Mass of water = 200 g

$c_w$ = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg⋅°C

$m_{Al}$ = Mass of Aluminum = 80 g

$c_{Al}$ = Specific heat of Aluminum = 900 J/kg⋅°C

The equation of the system's heat exchange is given by

$m_i(L_f+c_wT)+m_wc_w(T-T_i)+m_{Al}c_{Al}=0\\\Rightarrow 0.05\times (3.33\times 10^5+4186\times T)+0.2\times 4186(T-30)+0.08\times 900(T-30)=0\\\Rightarrow 1118.5T-10626=0\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{10626}{1118.5}\\\Rightarrow T=9.50022\ ^{\circ}C$

The final equilibrium temperature is 9.50022°C

How much voltage is in the primary coil if there are 3200 windings in the

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Voltage in primary coil is 3.91 V

Explanation:

For transformer we know that the working principle is given as

$\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{N_1}{N_2}$

here we know that

$V_1 [tex] = voltage in primary coil[tex]V_2 = 25 V$

$N_1 = 500$

$N_2 = 3200$

Now we have

$\frac{V_1}{25} = \frac{500}{3200}$

$V_1 = 3.91 V$
