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 device for increasing or decreasing voltage through electromagnetic induction.
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

O  Transformer

Explanation:

A transformer is a device for increasing or decreasing voltage through electromagnetic induction. It is very used in power transmission where alternating currents can be stepped up or down for house hold usage.

  • Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating current through magnetic fields.
  • It is made up of primary and secondary coils which helps to change voltage in the presence of magnetic filed at the core.
  • A transformer can either be a step up or step down device.

Sally goes on a hike. The distance she walks compared to the amount of time she walks is shown on the graph. Which statement is
Neko [114]
According to the task there should be the graph that supports Sally's hike, but after looking on the options it seems that Sally doesn't walks at a constant rate and there is the negative option that coincides with my thoughts. So, I bet the false statement is the third option represented in the scale above.

What can be inferred when an atom is electrically charged?
Elena-2011 [213]

When an atom becomes electrically charged the number of electrons or protons stops and they are not equal again. The "extra" electron or proton is not balanced by something inside the atom any longer and it starts attracting itself to othet protons or electrons in other atoms.

<h3>What is atomic structure?</h3>

An atomic structure comprises of positively charged nucleus which is surrounded by negatively charged particles called electron and neutron which is neutral charged.

Unlike charges attract each other while like charges repel each other.

Therefore, When an electron is fully charged, the number of electrons will stop to be unequal again.

Ahmed fills a basket with shopping weighing 10 kg. How much work is being done on the shopping basket when he lifts it verticall
NISA [10]

The work done by the shopping basket is 147 J.

<h3>When is work said to be done?</h3>

Work is said to be done whenever a force moves an object through a certain distance.

The amount of work done on the shopping basket can be calculated using the formula below.

Formula:

  • W = mgh

Where:

  • W = Amount of work done by the basket
  • m = mass of the shopping basket
  • h = height of the shopping basket
  • g = acceleration due to gravity.

Form the question,

Given:

  • m = 10 kg
  • h = 1.5 m
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • W = 10(1.5)(9.8)
  • W = 147 J.

Hence, The work done by the shopping basket is 147 J.

Consider a block on a spring oscillating on a frictionless surface. The amplitude of the oscillation is 11 cm, and the speed of
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The angular frequency of the block is ω = 5.64 rad/s

Explanation:

The speed of the block v = rω where r = amplitude of the oscillation and ω = angular frequency of the oscillation.

Now ω = v/r since v = speed of the block = 62 cm/s and r = the amplitude of the oscillation = 11 cm.

The angular frequency of the oscillation ω is

ω = v/r

ω = 62 cm/s ÷ 11 cm

ω = 5.64 rad/s

So, the angular frequency of the block is ω = 5.64 rad/s
