Astronauts brought back 500 lbs rock samples from the moon. They brought back 227 kilograms of sample.

An Astronaut is a person who has been educated, prepared, and put into space as part of a human spaceflight mission to serve as a commander or crew member. The word is frequently used to refer to scientists as well as professional space explorers, while being usually reserved for all of those who travel into space on a daily basis.

According to the given question, Astronaut bought back 550 lbs sample,

We know that,

2.20lbs = 1 kg.

1 lbs = 1/2.20 kg

1 lbs = 0.45 kg

Hence, 500 lbs equals 227kgs according to the given relation.

So, Astronauts brought back 227 kilograms of sample.

We see a full moon by reflected sunlight. how much earlier did the light that enters our eye leave the sun

galina1969 [7]

We know that the source of light in the universe is the Sun. Hence, the light we see as moonlight travels from the Sun's surface, to the moon, then to Earth. So, before being able to solve this problem, we have to know the distance between the Sun and the moon, and the distance between the moon and Earth. In literature, these values are 3.8×10⁵ km (Sun to moon) and 384,400 km (moon to Earth). Knowing that the speed of light is 300,000 km per second, then the total time would be

Time = distance/speed
Time = (3.8×10⁵ km + 384,400 km)/300,000 km/s
Time = 2.548 seconds

Thus, it only takes 2.548 for the light from the Sun to reach to the Earth as perceived to be what we call moonlight.

Transverse, surface, and longitudinal waves are all __________ waves because they __________.

algol [13]

Answer:

a. mechanical; require a medium to travel through

Explanation:

Longitudinal, transverse and surface waves are types of mechanical waves. For example, within the longitudinal waves are the sound waves, which needs a medium to propagate like the air. This is why sound does not travel in a vacuum.

And an example of a transverse wave is the waves that form in the water when a rock is thrown (ripples), these waves need a medium (the water) to propagate.

On the other hand, electromagnetic waves such as light waves do not need a medium to propagate, this is why we can see the light of distant stars because their light travels through the vacuum until it reaches us.

So, the answer is:

Transverse, surface, and longitudinal waves are all mechanical waves because they require a medium to travel through .

A car is traveling at 10 m/s. 10 seconds later the car is traveling 40 m/s. What is the car’s acceleration?

ratelena [41]

Answer:

a = 3 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vi = 10 m/s

Vf = 40 m/s

t = 10 s

Plug those values into the following equation:

Vf = Vi + at

40 = 10 + 10a

---> a = 3 m/s^2

Classes are canceled due to snow, so you take advantage of the extra time to conduct some physics experiments. You fasten a larg

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Time : 7.96 s

Distance Traveled : 357.8 m

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we first consider the accelerated motion of rocket. We will be using the subscript 1 for accelerated motion.

So, for accelerated motion, we have:

Acceleration = a₁ = 14.5 m/s²

Time Period = t₁ = 3.1 s

Initial Velocity = Vi₁ = 0 m/s (Since, it starts from rest)

Final Velocity = Vf₁

Distance covered by sled during acceleration motion = s₁

Now, using 1st equation of motion:

Vf₁ = Vi₁ + (a₁)(t₁)

Vf₁ = 0 m/s + (14.5 m/s²)(3.1 s)

Vf₁ = 44.95 m/s

Now, using 2nd equation of motion:

s₁ = (Vi₁)(t) + (0.5)(a₁)(t₁)

s₁ = (0 m/s)(3.1 s) + (0.5)(14.5 m/s²)(3.1 s)

s₁ = 22.5 m

Now, we first consider the decelerated motion of rocket. We will be using the subscript 2 for decelerated motion.

So, for accelerated motion, we have:

Deceleration = a₂ = - 5.65 m/s²

Time Period = t₂ = ?

Initial Velocity = Vi₂ = Vf₁ = 44.95 m/s (Since, decelerate motion starts, where accelerated motion ends)

Final Velocity = Vf₂ = 0 m/s (Since, rocket will eventually stop)

Distance covered by sled during deceleration motion = s₂

Now, using 1st equation of motion:

Vf₂ = Vi₂ + (a₂)(t₂)

0 m/s = 44.95 m/s + (- 5.65 m/s²)(t₂)

t₂ = (44.95 m/s)/(5.65 m/s²)

t₂ = 7.96 s

Now, using 2nd equation of motion:

s₂ = (Vi₂)(t₂) + (0.5)(a₂)(t₂)

s₂ = (44.95 m/s)(7.96 s) + (0.5)(- 5.65 m/s²)(7.96 s)

s₂ = 357.8 m - 22.5 m

s₂ = 335.3 m

Thus, the total distance covered by sled will be:

Total Dustance = S = s₁ + s₂

S = 22.5 m + 335.3 m

S = 357.8 m

As the solar system formed, most of its mass became concentrated in one part of it. What is that that part?
