Given

The Sun is d=150 million kilometers away from Earth.

Light travels at v=3 × 10^5 m/s.

To find

How long does it take for light to reach Earth from the Sun?

Explanation

We know

Time taken is given by

\begin{gathered} t=\frac{d}{v} \\ \Rightarrow t=\frac{150\times10^6}{3\times10^5} \\ \Rightarrow t=500sec \end{gathered}

Conclusion

The time taken is D.500 sec

When you whirl a can at the end of a string in a circular path, what is the direction of the force that acts on the can
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Toward the centre of the circular path

Explanation:

The can is moved in a circular path: this means that it is moving by circular motion (uniform circular motion if its tangential speed is constant).

In order to keep a circular motion, an object must have a force that pushes it towards the centre of the circular trajectory: this force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by

F=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where m is the mass of the object, v its tangential speed, r the radius of the trajectory. This force always points towards the centre of the circular path.

the pressure of gas in a cylinder is 70 kilopascals. if the volume of the cylinder is reduced from 8.0 liters to 4.0 liters, wha
Olegator [25]
By Boyle's law:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

70*8 = P<span>₂*4

</span>P<span>₂*4 = 70*8
</span>
P<span>₂ = 70*8/4 = 140
</span>
P<span>₂ = 140 kiloPascals.</span>

A student hangs a weight on a newtonmeter. The energy currently stored in the spring in the newton meter is 0.045N. The student
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

5x10^-3

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states that the force needed to compress or extend a spring is directly proportional to the distance you stretch it.

Hooke's Law can be represented as

<h3> F = kx, </h3>

<em>where F is the force </em>

<em>            k is the spring constant</em>

<em>            x is the extension of the material </em>

<em />

Plug values in the equation

Step 1 find the original extension

0.045 = (400)x

x = 1.125x 10^-4 m d

Step 2 find the new extension

0.045+2 = 400(x)

2.045 = 400x

x = 5.1125x10^-3

Step 3 subtract the new extension with original

Total extension of the spring =  5.1125x10^-3 - 1.125x 10^-4 m = 5x10^-3
