Annual salary(2012) = $70,000

Annual inflation = 7%

Therefore, the salary you need to earn in 2020 in order to have the same purchasing power can be calculated below

2020-2012=8\text{ years}FV=PV\times(1+r)^n

where

n = 8

r = 7/100 = 0.07

PV = 70, 000

\begin{gathered} FV=70,000(1+0.07)^8 \\ FV=70000(1.07)^8 \\ FV\text{ = 70000}\times1.71818617983 \\ FV=120273.032588 \\ FV=\text{  \$}120,273.03 \end{gathered}

The salary you need to earn in 2020 to have the same purchasing power = $120, 273.03

A 1.5 kg orange falls from a tree and hits the ground in 0.75s. What is the speed of the orange just before it hits the ground?
Olenka [21]

The final speed of the orange is 7.35 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the orange is a free fall motion, since there is only the force of gravity acting on it. Therefore, it is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. So we can use the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the  final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time elapsed

For the orange in this problem, we have

u = 0 (it is dropped from rest)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Substituting t = 0.75 s, we find the final velocity (and speed) of the orange:

v=0+(9.8)(0.75)=7.35 m/s

A weightlifter liftsa 1,250-N barbell 2 m in 3 s. how much power was used to lift the barbell?
STatiana [176]
Power = Force * Distance/ time
P = 1,250 * 2/3
P = 2,500/3
P = 833.33 Watts

So, your final answer is 833.33 Watts

During a certain comet’s orbit around the Sun, its closest distance to the Sun is 0.6 AU, and its farthest distance from the Sun
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

At the closest point

Explanation:

We can simply answer this question by applying Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion.

It states that:

"A line connecting the center of the Sun to any other object orbiting around it (e.g. a comet) sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals"

In this problem, we have a comet orbiting around the Sun:

- Its closest distance  from the Sun is 0.6 AU

- Its farthest distance from the Sun is 35 AU

In order for Kepler's 2nd law to be valid, the line connecting the center of the Sun to the comet must move slower when the comet is farther away (because the area swept out is proportional to the product of the distance and of the velocity: A\propto vr, therefore if r is larger, then v (velocity) must be lower).

On the other hand, when the the comet is closer to the Sun the line must move faster (A\propto vr, if r is smaller, v must be higher). Therefore, the comet's orbital velocity will be the largest at the closest distance to the Sun, 0.6 A.
