A radar astronomer who is new at the job claims she beamed radio waves to Jupiter and received an echo exactly 48 min later. Sho

Answer:

Should not believe her because the time taken is too short.

Explanation:

Time taken for echo to reach Earth = 48 min

Time taken by radio wave to reach Jupiter = 24 min

Distance between Earth and Jupiter when closest = 588 million kilometers = 588×10⁹ m

Distance between Earth and Jupiter when farthest = 968 million kilometers = 968×10⁹ m

Speed of radio wave = Speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Distance = Velocity × Time

⇒Distance = 3×10⁸×24×60

⇒Distance = 432×10⁹ m

Which does not fall under the range of distance of Jupiter. So, I should not believe her.

A 37 N block rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the surface and the block ar
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The frictional force acting on the block is 14.8 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of block = 37 N

Coefficients of static = 0.8

Kinetic friction = 0.4

Tension = 24 N

We need to calculate the maximum friction force

Using formula of friction force

f=\mu mg

Put the value into the formula

f=0.8\times37

f=29.6\ N

So, the tension must exceeds 29.6 N for the block to move

We need to calculate the frictional force acting on the block

Using formula of frictional force

f = \mu N

Put the value in to the formula

f=0.4\times37

f=14.8\ N

Hence, The frictional force acting on the block is 14.8 N.

A car traveling with constant speed travels 150 km in 7200s what is the speed of the car
Oksana_A [137]
Velocity is distance/time 

so 150/7200=.0208km/s 

unless you have to convert it to miles or something else. but use the formula!

Answer

Wavelength= 30*20^8/30=10^7m

Explanation:

Velocity = frequency *wavelength

We're frequency=30HZ

Velocity of light= 3*10^8m/s

Three heavy rods are all made of the same uniform material. These rods have lengths 3 m, 4 m, and 5 m, and compose the sides of
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

[ 2.67 , 1 ] m

Explanation:

Given:-

- The side lengths of the rods are as follows:

                             a = 4 m , b = 4 m , c = 5 m

                             a = Base , b = Perpendicular , c = Hypotenuse

- All rods are made of same material with uniform density. With

Find the coordinates of the center of mass of the triangle.

Solution:-

- The center of mass of any triangle is at the intersection of its medians.

- So let’s say we have a triangle with vertices at points (0,0) , (a,0) , and (0,b).

  • Median from (0,0) to midpoint (a/2,b/2) of opposite side has equation:

                                       bx−ay=0

  • Median from (a,0) to midpoint (0,b/2) of opposite side has equation:

                                      bx+2ay=ab

  • Median from (0,b) to midpoint (a/2,0) of opposite side has equation:

                                     2bx+ay=ab

  • Solve all three equations simultaneously:

                                     bx−ay=0  , bx = ay

                                     ay + 2ay = ab , 3ay = ab , y = b/3

                                     bx = b/3

                                     x = a / 3

  • So the distance from the median to each leg of the triangle is 1/3 length of other leg.

- So the coordinates of the centroid for right angle triangle would be:

                                   [ 2a/3 , b/3 ]

                                   [ 2.67 , 1 ] m
