1.3 second of time will be required for reflected sunlight to travel from the Moon to Earth if the distance between Earth and the Moon is 3.85 × 105 km

<h3>What is Speed ?</h3>

Speed is the distance travelled per time taken. It is a scalar quantity. And the S.I unit is meter per second. That is, m/s

In the given question, we want to find how much time is required for reflected sunlight to travel from the Moon to Earth if the distance between Earth and the Moon is 3.85 × 10^5 km.

What are the parameters to consider ?

The parameters are;

  • The distance S = 3.85 × 10^{5} km
  • The Speed of Light C = 3 × 10^{8} m/s
  • The time taken t = ?

Speed = distance S ÷ Time t

Convert kilometer to meter by multiplying it by 1000

C = S/t

3 × 10^{8} =  3.85 × 10^{8} / t

Make t the subject of formula

t = 3.85 × 10^{8} / 3 × 10^{8}

t = 1.2833

t = 1.3 s

Therefore, 1.3 second of time will be required for reflected sunlight to travel from the Moon to Earth if the distance between Earth and the Moon is 3.85 × 105 km

A man is standing on the edge of a 20.0 m high cliff. He throws a rock horizontally with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s.
kherson [118]

Answer:

<em>a. The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground</em>

<em>b. The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff</em>

Explanation:

Horizontal motion occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v from a height h above the ground. When it happens, the object moves through a curved path determined by gravity until it hits the ground.

The time taken by the object to hit the ground is calculated by:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

The range is defined as the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object and it can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle d=v.t

The man is standing on the edge of the h=20 m cliff and throws a rock with a horizontal speed of v=10 m/s.

a,

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*20}{9.8}}

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{4.0816}

t = 2.02 s

The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground

b.

The range is calculated now:

\displaystyle d=10\cdot 2.02

d = 20.2 m

The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff

the focal length of a simple magnifier is 8.50 cmcm . assume the magnifier to be a thin lens placed very close to the eye.
Igoryamba

When the object is at the focal point the angular magnification is 2.94.

Angular magnification:

The ratio of the angle subtended at the eye by the image formed by an optical instrument to that subtended at the eye by the object when not viewed through the instrument.

Here we have to find the angular magnification when the object is at the focal point.

Focal length = 6.00 cm

Formula to calculate angular magnification:

Angular magnification = 25/f

                                            = 25/ 8.5

                                             = 2.94

Therefore the angular magnification of this thin lens is 2.94

A 5 kg block is being pushed horizontally across a level surface at a constant velocity. What is the magnitude of the Normal for
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

50 N.

Explanation:

On top of a horizontal surface, the normal force acting on an object is equivalent to the force of gravity acting on the object. That is:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} F_N = F_g & = ma \\ & = mg\end{aligned}

The mass of the block is 5 kg and the given force due to gravity is 10 N/kg. Substitute and evaluate:

\displaystyle F_N = F_g = (5\text{ kg})(10 \text{ N/kg}) = 50 \text{ N}

In conclusion, the normal force acting on the block is 50 N.
