How do I calculate the speed of light and the distance between the earth and the moon?

To calculate the distance to a star, astronomers observe it from different places along Earth's orbit around the Sun. If they measure the object's position several months apart, their "two eyes" will have a separation of well over 100 million miles!

A golf ball is hit horizontally off the edge of a 30 m high cliff and lands a distance of 25 m from the edge of the cliff. What
Ratling [72]

Answer:

V₀y = 0 m/s

t = 2.47 s

V₀ₓ = 61.86 m/s

Vₓ = 61.86 m/s

Explanation:

Since, the ball is hit horizontally, there is no vertical component of velocity at initial point. So, the initial vertical velocity (V₀y) will beL

<u>V₀y = 0 m/s</u>

For the initial vertical velocity of golf ball we consider the vertical motion and apply 2nd equation of motion:

Y = V₀y*t + (0.5)gt²

where,

Y = Height = 30 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

t = time to hit the ground = ?

Therefore,

30 m = (0 m/s)(t) + (0.5)(9.8 m/s²)t²

t² = 30 m/4.9 m/s²

t = √6.122 s²

<u>t = 2.47 s</u>

For initial vertical velocity we analyze the horizontal motion of the ball. We neglect the frictional effects in horizontal motion thus the speed remains uniform. Hence,

V₀ₓ = Xt

where,

V₀ₓ = Initial vertical Velocity = ?

X = Horizontal Distance = 25 m

Therefore,

V₀ₓ = (25 m)(2.47 s)

<u>V₀ₓ = 61.86 m/s</u>

<u></u>

Due, to uniform motion in horizontal direction:

Final Vertical Velocity = Vₓ = V₀ₓ

Vₓ = 61.86 m/s

A 15g bullet is fired horizontally into a 3kg block of wood suspended by a long cord. Assume that the bullet remains in the bloc
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

261.3 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of bullet=m=15 g=\frac{15}{1000}=0.015 kg

1 kg=1000g

Mass of block=M=3 kg

d=0.086 m

Total mass =M+m=3+0.015=3.015 kg

K.E at the time strike=Gravitational potential energy at the end of swing

\frac{1}{2}(m+M)^2V^2=(m+M)gh

Using g=9.8m/s^2

Substitute the values

\frac{1}{2}(3.015)V^2=3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086

V^2=\frac{2\times 3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086}{3.015}

V=\sqrt{2\times 3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086}}

V=1.3m/s

Velocity after collision=V=1.3 m/s

Velocity of block=v'=0

Using conservation law of momentum

mv+Mv'=(m+M)V

Using the formula

0.015v+3(0)=3.015(1.3)

0.015v=3.015(1.3)

v^2=\frac{3.015(1.3)}{0.015}=261.3

v=261.3 m/s

What is the Lorentz force law used for?
alexira [117]

Answer:

Lorentz force, the force exerted on a charged particle q moving with velocity v through an electric E and magnetic field B. The entire electromagnetic force F on the charged particle is called the Lorentz force (after the Dutch physicist Hendrik A. Lorentz) and is given by F = qE + qv × B.
