To determine the distance of the light that has traveled given the time it takes to travel that distance, we need a relation that would relate time with distance. In any case, it would be the speed of the motion or specifically the speed of light that is travelling which is given as 3x10^8 meters per second. So, we simply multiply the time to the speed. Before doing so, we need to remember that the units should be homogeneous. We do as follows:

distance = 3x10^8 m/s ( 8.3 min ) ( 60 s / 1 min ) = 1.494x10^11 m

Since we are asked for the distance to be in kilometers, we convert

distance = 1.494x10^11 m ( 1 km / 1000 m) = 149400000 km

Determine the thrust that a boat with a volume of 1.2m³ receives when it is stranded at sea. The density of seawater is 1020kg /
puteri [66]

Answer:

The maximum possible up-thrust on the boat is 11,995.2 N

Explanation:

According to Archimedes' principle, the thrust received by an object immersed a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced;

The given parameter of the boat in sea water are;

The volume of the boat = 1.2 m³

The density of seawater = 1020 kg/m³

Density = Mass/Volume

Therefore, Mass = Density × Volume

The maximum volume of water that the boat displaces = 1.2 m³

The mass of the water displaced by the boat = (Density of seawater) × (Volume of seawater displaced)

∴ The maximum possible mass of the water displaced by the boat = 1.2 m³ × 1020 kg/m³ = 1224 kg

The maximum possible mass of the water displaced by the boat, m = 1224 kg

Weight = Mass, m × g

Where;

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

The up-thrust on the boat = The weight of the seawater displaced

∴ The maximum possible up-thrust on the boat = m × g = 1224 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 11,995.2 N

The maximum possible up-thrust on the boat = 11,995.2 N.

Find the period of the leg of a man who is 1.83 m in height with a mass of 67 kg. The moment of inertia of a cylinder rotating a
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

2.2 s

Explanation:

Using the equation for the period of a physical pendulum, T = 2π√(I/mgh) where I = moment of inertia of leg about perpendicular axis at one point =  mL²/3 where m = mass of man = 67 kg and L = height of man = 1.83 m, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and h = distance of leg from center of gravity of man = L/2 (center of gravity of a cylinder)

So, T = 2π√(I/mgh)

T = 2π√(mL²/3 /mgL/2)

T = 2π√(2L/3g)

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

T = 2π√(2L/3g)

T = 2π√(2 × 1.83 m/(3 × 9.8 m/s² ))

T = 2π√(3.66 m/(29.4 m/s² ))

T = 2π√(0.1245 s² ))

T = 2π(0.353 s)

T = 2.22 s

T ≅ 2.2 s

So, the period of the man's leg is 2.2 s
