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

A 1000 N object is pulled along a level surface with a horizontal force of 200 N. The object moves with a constant velocity of 2
krek1111 [17]

0.2 is the value of coefficient of friction (k)

F=kN

F=horizontal force

n=Normal Force

k=coefficient of friction

k=F/N

k=200/1000

k=0.2

The ratio of the normal force pushing two surfaces together to the frictional force preventing motion between them is known as the friction coefficient. Usually, the Greek letter mu is used to indicate it .N is the normal force, and F is the frictional force, hence F = N/N.

Due to the fact that both F and N are measured in units of force, the coefficient of friction has no dimensions (such as newtons or pounds). The coefficient of friction can have a variety of values for both static and dynamic friction. Static friction occurs when an object encounters friction that resists any applied force, keeping the object at rest until the static frictional force is released. In kinetic friction, the frictional force resists the motion of the object.

A basketball player of height 2.40 m is standing 2.60 m in front of a convex spherical mirror of radius of curvature 4.00 m. Det
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The size of the image is 1.04 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of object = 2.40 m

Distance of object = 2.60 m

Radius of curvature =4.00 m

Focal length f=\dfrac{R}{2}=\dfrac{4.00}{2}=2.00

We need to calculate the image distance

Using mirror formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{2.00}+\dfrac{1}{2.60}

\dfrac{1}{v}= \dfrac{23}{26}

v=1.13\ cm

We need to calculate the height of the image

Using formula of magnification

m=\dfrac{h'}{h}=-\dfrac{v}{u}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{h'}{2.40}=-\dfrac{1.13}{-2.60}

h'=\dfrac{1.13}{2.60}\times2.40

h'=1.04\ m

Hence, The size of the image is 1.04 m

A concave mirror with a focal length of 32 cm produces an image whose distance from the mirror is one-third the object distance.
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

part A ⇒ u = 1.28 m

part B ⇒v = 0.43 m

Explanation:

for u is the distance to the object from the mirror and v is the distance from the mirror to the image.

Part A:

the mirror equation is given by:

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

but we told that, v = 1/3u:

1/f = 3/v + 1/u = 4/u

1/f = 4/u

  f = u/4

 u = 4f

    = 4×(32×10^-2)

    = 1.28 m

Therefore the distance from the mirror to the object is 1.28 m.  

part B:

v = 1/3×u = 1/3×(1.28) = 0.43 m
