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

If 34.7 g of O2 reacts with iron to form 79.34 g of iron oxide, how much iron was used in the reaction?
zhuklara [117]

Answer: B. 44.64 g

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Mass of reactants = mass of iron + mass of oxygen = mass of iron + 34.7 g

Mass of product = mass of iron oxide = 79.34 g

As Mass of reactants = Mass of product

mass of iron + 34.7 g = 79.34 g

mass of iron = 44.64 g

Thus 44.64 g of iron was used in the reaction

Which statement best describes insulators? Free electrons can move to other atoms Electrons within their atoms are strongly held
balandron [24]

Answer:

The statement that best describes insulators is <u><em>"Electrons within their atoms are strongly held by the nuclei"</em></u>

Explanation:

Atoms are constituted by a nucleus with positive charge (protons and neutrons), around which negative charges (electrons) revolve.

Substances that have a huge amount of "free electrons" that can move through the material are called conductors. This is due to the low resistance to the movement of the load or electric current.

Materials that do not conduct electricity are called insulators. In this case the electrons are strongly bound to the nucleus and cannot move freely. In this way a great resistance to the flow of electric current is offered.

Finally, semiconductors are the materials that can have electrical properties of conductors or insulators.

So<u><em> the statement that best describes insulators is "Electrons within their atoms are strongly held by the nuclei"</em></u>

Which equation was used by Albert Einstein to explain the photoelectric effect? [E = energy, h = Planck’s constant, and v = freq
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

E = hv

Explanation:

  • The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon when the electromagnetic waves of a particular wavelength strike on the metal plate like zinc, it ejects the free electrons.
  • The ejected electrons have the kinetic energy and this energy is responsible for the electric energy.
  • The kinetic energy of the emitted electrons is linked with the frequency of the incident rays.
  • If the rays hitting the metal plate is below the minimum required threshold value, the photoelectrons are not ejected.
  • The photoelectric equation is given by

                            E = hν - ∅

Where, ∅ is the minimum energy required to remove an electron.

A small block with mass 0.0400 kg slides in a vertical circle of radius 0.600 m on the inside of a circular track. During one of
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

The mass of the body is 0.04kg

M=0.04kg

The radius of the paths is 0.6m

r=0.6m

The normal force exerted at A is 3.9N

Fa=3.9N

The normal force exerted at B is 0.69N

Fb=0.69N

Then work done by friction from point A to B will be the change in K.E

W=∆K.E+P.E

So we need to know the velocity at both point A and B

Then since the centripetal force is given as

Ft=mv²/r

Then,

For point A

Fa=mv²/r

3.9=0.04v²/0.6

3.9=0.0667v²

v²=3.9/0.0667

v²=58.5

v=√58.5

v=7.65m/s

Va=7.65m/s

Now at point B

Fb=mv²/r

0.69=0.04v²/0.6

0.69=0.0667v²

v²=0.69/0.0667

v²=10.35

v=√10.35

v=3.22m/s

Vb=3.22m/s

Then, the work done is

W=∆K.E+P.E

P.E is given as mgh

The height will be 2R =1.2m

P.E=mgh

P.E=0.04×9.81×1.2

P.E=0.471J

Final kinetic energy at B minus initial kinetic energy at A

W=K.Eb-K.Ea

K.E is given as 1/2mv²

W=1/2m(Vb²-Va²) +P.E

W=0.5×0.04(3.22²-7.65²) +0.471

W=0.5×0.04×(-48.1541) +0.471

W=-0.96+0.471

W=-0.49J

work was done on the block by friction during the motion of the block from point A to point B is 0.49J.

Friction opposes motions and that is why the work done is negative
