Question:

A spaceship enters the solar system moving toward the Sun at a constant speed relative to the Sun. By its own clock, the time elapsed between the time it crosses the orbit of Jupiter and the time it crosses the orbit of Mars is 35.0 minutes

How fast is the spaceship traveling towards the Sun? The radius of the orbit of Jupiter is 43.2 light-minutes, and that of the orbit of Mars is 12.6 light-minutes.

Answer:

S = 5.508 × 10¹¹m

V = 2.62 × 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

The radius of the orbit of Jupiter, Rj is 43.2 light-minutes

radius of the orbit of Mars, Rm is 12.6 light-minutes

Distance travelled S = (Rj - Rm)

= 43.2 - 12.6 = 30.6 light- minutes

= 30.6 × (3 ×10⁸m/s) × 60 s

= 5.508 × 10¹¹m

time = 35mins = (35 × 60 secs)

= 2100 secs

speed = distance/time

V = 5.508 × 10¹¹m / 2100 s

V = 2.62 × 10⁸ m/s

The weight of an object is the force generated by Earth's gravity accelerating the object's _________. distance mass time destin
julsineya [31]
The weight of an object is the force of gravity between Earth's
mass and the object's mass.

The forces of gravity always come in equal, opposite pairs. 
The Earth's weight on the object is the same as the object's
weight on the Earth, and when the object falls to Earth, Earth
falls to the object.

mixer [17]

Answer:

Both the astronauts and photographer have the same displacement

Explanation:

Displacement is the minimum distance between two point. The initial point of both the astronauts and the photographer was Florida and the final point was California. So, the minimum distance for both of the astronauts and the photographer would be the distance between Florida and California would be the same.

Hence, both the astronauts and photographer will have the same displacement.

What are the units of acceleration?
Marina86 [1]

Acceleration is any change in speed or direction of motion.

The dimension of speed is [length/time],
so a change is [length/time²].

Popular units include [meter/second²] and [feet/second²] .
________________________

Direction almost always boils down to an angle, (which technically
has no dimensions), so a change in direction is  [angle/time] .

Popular units include [radian/second] and [degree/second] .

What’s the potential difference across a 5.0 ohms resistor that carries a current of 5.0A
vivado [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is B-25 V

Explanation:

We apply Ohm's Law, according to which:

V = i x R

V = 5A x 5Ω

V= 25 V

Being V the potential difference whose unit is the VOLT, i the current intensity (Ampere) and R the electrical resistance (ohm)
