The motion of the light is a uniform motion with constant speed v=3 \cdot 10^5 km/s, therefore we can use the basic relationship between speed, space and time:
v= \frac{S}{t} (1)
where S is the distance covered and t is the time taken. The light takes t=1.3 s to travel from the moon to Earth, therefore by rearranging eq.(1) we can find the distance between the Moon and the Earth:
S=vt=(3 \cdot 10^5 km/s)(1.3 s)=390000 km=3.9 \cdot 10^5 km

The intensity at a distance of 6 m from a source that is radiating equally in all directions is 6.0\times 10^{-10} W/m^2. What i
Sophie [7]

Answer:

P = 271 nW

Explanation:

  • If the source is radiating equally in all directions, it can be treated as a point source, so all points located at the same distance of the source, have the same intensity I, which is related to the power by the following expression:

       I = \frac{P}{A} =\frac{P}{4*\pi *r^{2} } (1)

  • Solving for P, we get:

       P = I*4*\pi *r^{2} = 6.0e-10 W/m2 * 4 * \pi *(6m)^{2} =271 nW (2)

a small table has a mass of 4kg, stands on four legs, each leg having an area of 0.001 m2. what is the pressure exerted by the t
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

P = 10 kPa

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a small table, m = 4 kg

The area of each leg = 0.001 m²

We need to find the pressure exerted by the table on the floor. Pressure is equal to the force per unit area. So

P=\dfrac{mg}{4\times A}\\\\P=\dfrac{4\times 10}{4\times 0.001}\\P=10000\ Pa\\\\or\\\\P=10\ kPa

So, the required pressure is 10 kPa.

3. A model rocket takes 0.05 seconds to speed up from rest to its maximum velocity of 80 m/s.
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

1600 \frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by the time it took to produce such change. The formula then reads:

a = \frac{change-in-velocity}{time} = \frac{Vf-Vi}{t}

Where Vf is the final velocity of the object, (in our case 80 m/s)

Vi is the initial velocity of the object (in our case 0 m/s because the object was at rest)

and t is the time it took to change from the Vi to the Vf (in our case 0.05 seconds.

Therefore we have:

a = \frac{80 m/s - 0 m/s}{0.05 sec} = 1600 \frac{m}{s^2}

Notice that the units of acceleration in the SI system are \frac{m}{s^2} (meters divided square seconds)

What is the speed of light in a vacuume?
-Dominant- [34]

The speed of light in vacuum is exactly

299,792,458 meters per second.

That's so exact that it's the official scientific definition of a "meter".

The number doesn't t change even if the flashlight or other light source is moving.
