The distance covered by an object accelerating from rest is

D = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)² .

In this particular case, 'acceleration' is 9.8 m/s² ... due to gravity.

D = (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (1.67 s)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) · (2.789 s²)

D =  13.67 meters

If a quasar is moving away from us at v/c = 0.8, what is the measured redshift?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The measured redshift is z =2

Explanation:

Since the object is traveling near light speed, since v/c = 0.8, then we have to use a redshift formula for relativistic speeds.

z= \sqrt{\cfrac{c+v}{c-v}}-1

Finding the redshift.

We can prepare the formula by dividing by lightspeed inside the square root to both numerator and denominator to get

z= \sqrt{\cfrac{1+\cfrac vc}{1-\cfrac vc}}-1

Replacing the given information

z= \sqrt{\cfrac{1+0.8}{1-0.8}}-1

z= \sqrt{\cfrac{1.8}{0.2}}-1\\z= \sqrt{9}}-1\\z=3-1\\z=2

Thus the measured redshift is z = 2.

How does the sun's gravity and the earth inertia keep us orbiting in the solar system
scZoUnD [109]
<span>Inertia keeps us orbiting because any object with mass has the tendency to resist changes to their direction and speed of movement. Combine that with the interaction of the gravitational attraction of the sun, and that is what keeps Earth in orbit. The sun’s gravitational force is one that is proportional to Earth’s mass, and it acts in a way that is almost exactly perpendicular to Earth’s motion. This keeps Earth from spinning into the sun or far away from it.</span>

What is the relationship between sunspots and geomagnetic storms?
shutvik [7]
Sunspots are spot like structure on the surface of sun, they are created due to geomagnetic flux which inhibits the convection of heat waves thus reducing the temperature of spot with some factor

A projectile is fired from the ground at a velocity of 30.0 m/s, 35.0 º from the horizontal. What is the maximum height the proj
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Vy = V sin theta = 30 * ,574 = 17.2 m/s

t1 = 17.2 / 9.8 = 1.76 sec to reach max height

Max height = 17.2 * 1.76 - 1/2 * 4.9 * 1.76^2 = 15.1 m

H = V t - 1/2 g t^2 = 1.2 * 9.8 * 1.76^2 = 15.1 m

Time to fall from zero speed to ground = rise time = 1.76 sec

Vx = V cos 35 = 24.6 m / sec     horizontal speed

Time in air = 1.76 * 2 = 3.52 sec before returning to ground

S = 24.6 * 3.52 = 86.6 m
