Since the light travels in the vacuum then its velocity will be C=3*10^8 m/sec.....then you will convert it to secs=28000*365*24*60*60=8.83008*10^11
then v=s/t then s=v*t=(3*10^8)(8.83008*10^11)=2.649024*10^20 meters

In an elastic collision, a 400-kg bumper car collides directly from behind with a second, identical bumper car that is traveling
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

v₁ = 3.5 m/s

v₂ = 6.4 m/s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

m₁ = mass of trailing car = 400 kg

m₂ = mass of leading car = 400 kg

u₁ = initial speed of trailing car = 6.4 m/s

u₂ = initial speed of leading car = 3.5 m/s

v₁ = final speed of trailing car = ?

v₂ = final speed of leading car = ?

The final speed of the leading car is given by the following formula:

v_2=\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_1-\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\\v_2=\frac{(2)(400\ kg)}{400\ kg+400\ kg}(6.4\ m/s)-\frac{400\ kg-400\ kg}{400\ kg + 400\ kg}(3.5\ m/s)

<u>v₂ = 6.4 m/s</u>

The final speed of the leading car is given by the following formula:

v_1=\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_1+\frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\\v_1=\frac{400\ kg-400\ kg}{400\ kg + 400\ kg}(6.4\ m/s)+\frac{(2)(400\ kg)}{400\ kg+400\ kg}(3.5\ m/s)

<u>v₁ = 3.5 m/s</u>

On February 15, 2013, a superbolide meteor (brighter than the Sun) entered Earth's atmosphere over Chelyabinsk, Russia, and expl
fredd [130]

Answer:

156.67 m/s

0.45676 times the speed of sound

Explanation:

Distance from the ground = 23.5 km = 23500 m

Time taken by the blast waves to reach the ground = 2\ minutes\ 30\ seconds=2\times 60+30=150\ s

Spedd of the wave would be

Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}\\\Rightarrow v_b=\dfrac{23500}{150}\\\Rightarrow v-b=156.67\ m/s

The velocity of the blast wave is 156.67 m/s

v = Velocity of sound = 343 m/s

\dfrac{v_b}{v}=\dfrac{156.67}{343}\\\Rightarrow v_b=v\dfrac{156.67}{343}\\\Rightarrow v_b=0.45676v

The blast wave is 0.45676 times the speed of sound

Explain the universal law of gravity and it's calculate from as well as the value of g​
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

According to the Newton's law of gravitational every object in the universe attracts every other objects with a force which is called gravitational force.This gravitational force is (i) directly proportional to the product of their masses and (ii) inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centres.

Explanation:

Newton's law of gravitational is called the universal law because it is applicable to all the bodies either terrestrial or celestial having any shape,size,mass or at any distance apart with any medium between them,at any time(past,present or future).

1. What is the potential energy of a 5.0-kg
babymother [125]

Answer:

  C.  98 J

Explanation:

The appropriate formula is ...

  PE = mgh . . . . . m is mass; below, m is meters

  PE = (5 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(2 m) = 98 kg·m^2/s^2

  PE = 98 J
