Light travels at a speed of 3.00 x 10^11 cm/s. What is the speed of light in kilometers/hour?

Physics

rewona [7]4 years ago

As 1 km = 1000 m = 1000,00 cm,

So, 1 cm = (1/1000,00) km

1 hour = 60 × 60 s = 3600 s

So,  1 s = (1 / 3600) hour

The light travels at a speed of 3.00 \times 10^{11}  \ cm/s.

In kilometer/hour,

3.00 \times 10^{11}  \ cm/s = 3.00 \times 10^{11} \frac{(1/1000,00) km}{ (1 / 3600) hour} = 108 \times 10^8 \ km/hour

Sarah, who has a mass of 55 kg, is riding in a car at 20 m/s. She sees a cat crossing the street and slams on the brakes! Her se
avanturin [10]

Answer:

-2200 N

Explanation:

The change in momentum of Sarah is equal to the impulse, which is the product between the force exerted by the seatbelt on Sarah and the time during which the force is applied:

\Delta p=I\\m \Delta v = F \Delta t

where

m is the mass

\Delta v is the change in velocity

F is the average force

\Delta t is the duration of the collision

In this problem:, we have:

m = 55 kg is Sarah's mass

\Delta v = 0-20 = -20 m/s  is the change in velocity

\Delta t = 0.5 s  is the duration of the collision

Solving for F, we find the force exerted by the seatbelt on Sarah:

F=\frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{(55)(-20)}{0.5}=-2200 N

Where the negative sign indicates that the direction of the force is opposite to that of Sarah's initial velocity.

ad-work [718]

Answer:

60 m/s

Explanation:

a =  \frac{vf - vi}{t}

5.0 =  \frac{vf - 0}{12}

5.0 \times 12 = vf

60 = vf

A skier starts from rest at the top of a hill that is inclined 10.5° with respect to the horizontal. The hillside is 200 m long,
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

d) 289.31 m

Explanation:

Energy provided by potential energy = mgh = m x 9.8x 200 sin10.5 = 357.18m

Energy used by friction = μmgcos 10.5 x 200 = .075 x m x 9.8 x cos 10.5 x200 = 144.54 m .

Energy used by friction on plain surface = μmg x d.( dis distance covered on plain ) =.075x m x 9.8 xd = .735 m d

To equate

357.18 m -144.54 m = .735 m d

d = 289.31 m .
