We are 8 light minutes from the sun. That means two things, we see the sun as it was 8 minutes ago, and we WOULD continue to see the sun for 8 minutes after it disappeared.
A window is the most transparent object from these, so that is the answer.
Answer:
16613 m/s
Explanation:
Given that
mass of the fly, m = 0.55 g = 0.55*10^-3 kg
Kinetic Energy of the fly, E = 7.6*10^4 J
Speed of the fly, v = ? m/s
We know that the Kinetic Energy is that energy that an object, in this case, the fly, possesses due to its motion.
The Kinetic Energy, KE of any object is represented by the formula
KE = 1/2 * m * v²
If we substitute the values in the relation, we have,
7.6*10^4 = 1/2 * 0.55*10^-3 * v²
v² = (15.2*10^4) / 0.55*10^-3
v² = 2.76*10^8
v = √2.76*10^8
v = 16613 m/s
Thus, the fly would need a speed of 16.6 km/s in order to have a Kinetic Energy of 7.6*10^4 J
Answer:
(a) ω = 1.57 rad/s
(b) ac = 4.92 m/s²
(c) μs = 0.5
Explanation:
(a)
The angular speed of the merry go-round can be found as follows:
ω = 2πf
where,
ω = angular speed = ?
f = frequency = 0.25 rev/s
Therefore,
ω = (2π)(0.25 rev/s)
<u>ω = 1.57 rad/s
</u>
(b)
The centripetal acceleration can be found as:
ac = v²/R
but,
v = Rω
Therefore,
ac = (Rω)²/R
ac = Rω²
therefore,
ac = (2 m)(1.57 rad/s)²
<u>ac = 4.92 m/s²
</u>
(c)
In order to avoid slipping the centripetal force must not exceed the frictional force between shoes and floor:
Centripetal Force = Frictional Force
m*ac = μs*R = μs*W
m*ac = μs*mg
ac = μs*g
μs = ac/g
μs = (4.92 m/s²)/(9.8 m/s²)
<u>μs = 0.5</u>
