A machine accelerates a 5 kg missile from rest to a speed of 5 km/s. The net force accelerating the missile 500,000 N. How long

does it take to arrive at the speed of 5 km/s?
Physics

Gnoma [55]3 years ago
3 0
Final velocity = 5km/sec = 5000 m/sec
Initial velocity = 0, mass = 5kg and force = 500,000 N
F = m(Vf-Vi)/time
Time = m(Vf-Vi)/force = 5*5000/500000 = 0.05 seconds
So, it takes 0.05 sec to arrive at the speed of 5km/s.

Explain why stellar parallax cannot be used to measure the distance to other galaxies.
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

1. a) Astronomers use the parallax method to measure the distance to nearby stars, but

we can’t use it to measure the distance to stars in other galaxies. Why not? Why isn’t the

parallax method useful for measuring the distances to stars in other galaxies?

They are so distant that the parallax is too small to be measured since parallax varies

inversely with distance.

b) Instead of the parallax method, we use the standard candle method to measure the

distance to stars in other galaxies. In particular, we use the standard candle method to

measure the distances to Cepheid variable stars in other galaxies. What is special about

Cepheid variable stars that makes them useful for this purpose?

We can figure out their luminosities from their periods of variation. Then if we measure

their fluxes we can calculate their distances.

2. a) From what were the protons and electrons in your body made, and roughly when

were they made?

They were made from energy (or gamma rays) very soon after the big bang (in the first

second). 400,000 years later they got together to make hydrogen atoms.

b) From what were the carbon atoms in your body made, and where were they made?

They were not made in the big bang. They were made much later inside of stars or in

supernovae. They were made by fusion from lighter atoms.

3. Make two sketches of the Milky Way Galaxy, one an edge-on view and one a face-on

view, labeling the various parts of the galaxy.

Kevin decides to soup up his car by replacing the car's wheels with ones that have 1.4 times the diameter of the original wheels
True [87]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Given that Kevin decides to soup up his car by replacing the car's wheels with ones that have 1.4 times the diameter of the original wheels. Note that the speedometer in a car is calibrated based on the tire's diameter and on the distance the tire covers in each revolution. (a) Will the reading of the speedometer change ?

Considering the formula

V = wr

Where

V = linear speed

W = angular speed

r = radius of the wheel.

But W = 2πrf

Where the the 2 and pi are constant. The radius of the first wheel will be small but counter balance with the larger frequency.

While the radius of the second wheel may be large but it will be of a small frequency.

We can therefore conclude that the reading on the speedometer will not change. Because speedometer will read the linear speed V.

A satellite was in two separate crashes. In both crashes, the satellite had the same mass. Engineers want to know about the spee
irina1246 [14]

Answer & Explanation:

Crashing into the asteroid would cause the satellite to slow down, stop, or reverse direction, because it is a force in the opposite direction to the satellite's motion. Whichever crash was a stronger force would cause it to change motion more. It takes a stronger force to change the velocity of a more massive object.

Which property do metalloids share with nonmetals
laiz [17]
Metalloids are all solid at room temperature. Some metalloids, such as silicon and germanium, can act as electrical conductors under the right conditions, thus they are called semi-conductors. Silicon for example appears lustrous, but is not malleable or ductile (it is brittle - a characteristic of some nonmetals).

Convert 43 km/h to m/s.​
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

43km/h to m/s = 11.9444

Explanation:

1 km = 1000 m; 1 hr = 3600 sec. To convert km/hr into m/sec, multiply the number by 5 and then divide it by 18.
