What is The common value for the speed of light in a vacuum

Physics
1 answer:
Talja [164]4 years ago
4 0
The most common value for the speed of light is 3*10^8 meters/second.

A more accurate number is <span>299 792 458 m/second, but that number is hardly ever used.</span>

A hot-air balloonist, rising vertically with a constant speed of 5.00 m/s releases a sandbag at the instant the balloon is 40.0
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Y = 40.94m

Explanation:

The initial speed of the sandbag is the same as the balloon and so is its position, so:

Y = Yo + Vo*t-\frac{g*t^2}{2}

Replacing these values:

Yo = 40m     Vo = 5m/s     g = 9.81m/s^2     t = 0.25s

We get the position of the sandbag:

Y = 40+5*(0.25)-\frac{9.81*(0.25)^2}{2}

Y = 40.94m

A mass of 2 kg is attached to a spring and placed on a horizontal surface. The spring has a spring constant of 20 N/m, and the s
Sergio [31]

The speed of the mass : <em><u>v = 0.316 m/s</u></em>

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The energy used to press a spring is included as the potential energy

Can be formulated:

\displaystyle E_p=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

Ep= potential energy

k = spring constant

x = change in spring length

If the spring is released from its pressure, this potential energy will turn into kinetic energy

so applies the law of conservation of mechanical energy (Em)

Ek = Ep

A mass of 2 kg is attached to a spring, a spring constant of 20 N/m, and the spring is compressed 0.1 m past its natural length.

m = 2 kg

k = 20 N/m

x = 0.1 m

\displaystyle Ep=Ek\\\\\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\kx^2=mv^2\\\\20\times0.1^2=2\times v^2\\\\v^2=0.1\\\\v=\sqrt{0.1}\\\\v=0.316~m/s

Which of these is NOT a type of satellite?
Elanso [62]
<h2>Answer:  A. land-based</h2>

Explanation:

An artificial satellite is one that is launched into space to orbit the Earth (or another body of the solar system) for various purposes.

In this sense, the characteristics of an artificial satellite will depend on its purpose and functionality. From there we can list: meteorological satellites (for weather) , telecommunications satellites, remote sensing satellites, global positioning systems satellites, environmental satellites, research satellites, among others.

In addition, their orbits can be classified according to their height and inclination, depending on the use they have.

On the other hand, one of the main conditions for a satellite to be considered as such is that it must be kept orbiting. This means, it must not touch land during its useful life, even if it remains in constant contact with its earth based control stations.

Therefore,<u> a land-based is not a type of satellite.</u>
