It would take about 4.8 years to travel from earth to Saturn.

<h3>How long would it take?</h3>

We know that speed is expressed as the ratio of distance to time. In this case, we are trying to know ow many years would it take to reach the planet Saturn travelling at 21 thousand miles per hour.

Given that;

Speed = 21 thousand miles per hour

time taken = ???

Distance = 887 million miles

Speed = distance/time

speed * time = distance

time = distance/speed

time = 8.87 * 10^8 miles/2.1 * 10^4 miles per hour

time = 4.22 * 10^4 hours

If 8.766 * 10^3 hours make 1 year

4.22 * 10^4 hours make 4.22 * 10^4 hours * 1 year/8.766 * 10^3

= 4.8 years

Two bodies of specific heats S1 and S2 having the same heat capacities are combined to form a single composite body. What is the

Dafna11 [192]

$\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}♨$

Heat capacity of body 1 :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:m_1s_1$

Heat capacity of body 2 :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:m_2s_2$

it's given that, the the head capacities of both the objects are equal. I.e

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:m_1s_1 = m_2s_2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:m_1 = \dfrac{m_2s_2}{s_1}$

Now, consider specific heat of composite body be s'

According to given relation :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:(m_1 + m_2) s' = m_1s_1 + m_2s_2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:s' = \dfrac{ m_1s_1 + m_2s_2}{m_1 + m_2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:s' = \dfrac{ m_2s_2+ m_2s_2}{ \frac{m_2s_2}{s_1} + m_2 }$

[ since, $m_2s_2 = m_1s_1$ ]

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:s' = \dfrac{ 2m_2s_2}{ m_2(\frac{s_2}{s_1} + 1)}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:s' = \dfrac{ 2 \cancel{m_2}s_2}{ \cancel{m_2}(\frac{s_2}{s_1} + 1)}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:s' = \dfrac{ 2 s_2}{ (\frac{s_2 + s_1}{s_1} )}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: s' = \dfrac{2s_1s_2}{s_1 + s_2}$

A 0.43 kg hammer is moving horizontally at 5.2 m/s when it strikes a nail and comes to rest after driving the nail 0.014 m into

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The duration of the impact is 0.005384 seconds

Explanation:

Given

m = 0.43 kg

v = 5.2 m/s

x = 0.014 m

Knowing the formulas

$v^{2}_{f} = v^{2}_{i} + 2ax\\0 = 5.2^{2} + 2a*0.014\\a = - 965.71 m/s^{2} \\\\vf = vi + at\\0 = 5.2 + (965.71)t\\t = 0.005384 s$

If you were to triple the size of the Earth (R = 3R⊕) and double the mass of the Earth (M = 2M⊕), how much would it change the g

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Decreased by a factor of 4.5

Explanation:

"We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

$F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}$

where $G =6.67408 × 10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2$ is the gravitational constant on Earth. $M_1, M_2$ are the masses of the object and Earth itself. and R distance between, or the Earth radius.

So when R is tripled and mass is doubled, we have the following ratio of the new gravity over the old ones:

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}}{G\frac{M_1m_2}{r^2}}$

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{\frac{M_2}{R^2}}{\frac{m_2}{r^2}}$

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{R^2}\frac{r^2}{m_2}$

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{m_2}(\frac{r}{R})^2$

Since $M_2 = 2m_2$ and $r = R/3$

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{2}{3^2} = 2/9 = 1/4.5$

So gravity would have been decreased by a factor of 4.5

Evaluate A car company wants to build a wind-powered car that converts 100 percent of the mechanical energy in the wind to the m

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

There's one or two reasons, depending on what is meant by "wind-powered car".

The first reason is that it's impossible for any transfer of energy to be 100% efficient. There will always be frictional losses.

Secondly, if the company means that they want to attach a wind turbine to the car so that the car is powered by the same wind that it generates, that violates the conservation of energy.
