Answer: 0.087 inches

Explanation:

This problem can be solved applying the <u>Rule of three</u>, which is a  mathematical rule to find out an amount that is with another quantity given in the same relation as other two also known.

In this sense, the actual diameter of the Sun is 1,391,020 km and the actual diameter of the Earth is 12,742 km.

Now, applying the <u>Rule of three:</u>

<u />

Sun 1,391,020 km ------ 9.5 inches

Earth 12,742 km --------- ? inches

? inches=\frac{(12,742 km)(9.5 inches)}{1,391,020 km}

? inches=0.087 inches

Therefore:

If the sun is scaled down to 9.5 inches in diameter, the earth would be about <u>0.087 inches </u>in diameter.

A truck of mass 200kg rests on an inclined plane hindered from rolling down the surface by a storing sprint whose force constant
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

1.92 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 200 Kg

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Workdone =?

Next, we shall determine the force exerted on the spring. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 200 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = m × g

F = 200 × 9.8

F = 1960 N

Next we shall determine the extent to which the spring stretches. This can be obtained as follow:

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Force (F) = 1960 N

Extention (e) =?

F = Ke

1960 = 10⁶ × e

Divide both side by 10⁶

e = 1960 / 10⁶

e = 0.00196 m

Finally, we shall determine energy (Workdone) on the spring as follow:

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Extention (e) = 0.00196 m

Energy (E) =?

E = ½Ke²

E = ½ × 10⁶ × (0.00196)²

E = 1.92 J

Therefore, the Workdone on the spring is 1.92 J

An astronaut on a space walk floats a little too far away from the space station. Without air to push against, he cannot paddle
Artyom0805 [142]
He can throw the hammer in the direction opposite to the direction he wants to travel in. The hammer will exert an equal and opposite force on him, as per Newton's third law, and this will help him move towards the space station.

Which of the following statements are true concerning the creation of magnetic fields? Check all that apply. Check all that appl
Andreas93 [3]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
  • A moving electric charge creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.
  • An electric current in a conductor creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.
  • A permanent magnet creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • A magnetic field can be created by running electricity through a wire. All magnetic fields are created by moving charged particles. it is important to also note that charged particles create magnetic fields only when they are moving.
  • The strength of the magnetic field generated or created is proportional to the amount of current flowing through the wire. Thus, increasing the current increases the strength of the magnetic field.

What are the wavelength ranges for the following? (a) the AM radio band (540–1600 kHz) maximum wavelength m minimum wavelength m
Pie

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) AM radio band (540–1600 kHz)

frequency = 540 kHz = 540 x 10³ Hz

wave length = velocity of light / frequency

= 3 x 10⁸ / 540 x 10³

= 555.55 m

frequency = 1600 kHz = 1600 x 10³ Hz

wave length = velocity of light / frequency

= 3 x 10⁸ / 1600 x 10³

= 187.5  m

maximum wavelength  =   555.55 m

minimum wavelength =  187.5 m

b )

AM radio band (88 - 108 MHz)

frequency = 88 MHz = 88 x 10⁶ Hz

wave length = velocity of light / frequency

= 3 x 10⁸ / 88 x 10⁶

= 3.41 m

frequency = 108 MHz = 108 x 10⁶ Hz

wave length = velocity of light / frequency

= 3 x 10⁸ / 108 x 10⁶

= 2.78  m

maximum wavelength  =   3.41 m

minimum wavelength =  2.78 m

Help please physics !!
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Option A. 1 bar = 1 atm

Explanation:

Pressure has various units of measurement. Each unit of measurement can be converted to other units of measurement. For example:

1 atm = 1 bar

1 atm = 760 mmHg

1 atm = 760 torr

1 atm = 1×10⁵ N/m²

1 atm = 1×10⁵ Pa

With the above conversion scale we can convert from one unit to the other.

Considering the question given above, it is evident from the coversion scale illustrated above that only option A is correct.

Thus,

1 bar = 1 atm
