Answer:

<em>About four million tons of </em><em><u>matter</u></em><em> are converted to energy in the Sun’s core every second</em>

Explanation:

<u>The Sun </u>

It's estimated that The Sun fuses near 600 million tons (6.10^9\ kg) of hydrogen into helium every second. As a result, 4 million tons of matter are converted to energy every second according to Einstein's equation E=mc^2

Estimate the smallest possible period of a satellite in a circular orbit around earth. (mass and radius of earth is 5.98 x 1024
myrzilka [38]
Given: Mass of earth Me = 5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg

           Radius of earth r = 6.37 x 10⁶ m

            G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²

Required: Smallest possible period T = ?

Formula: F = ma;  F = GMeMsat/r²     Centripetal acceleration ac = V²/r

               but V = 2πr/T

equate T from all equation.

F = ma

GMeMsat/r² = Msat4π²/rT²    

GMe = 4π²r³/T²

T² = 4π²r³/GMe  

T² = 39.48(6.37 x 10⁶ m)³/6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²)(5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg)

T² = 1.02 x 10²² m³/3.99 x 10¹⁴ m³/s²

T² = 25,563,909.77 s²

T = 5,056.08 seconds    or around   1.4 Hour

A cannonball is fired horizontally at the same time a ball being dropped from the same height How do the times it takes them to
ipn [44]

Answer:

The cannonball and the ball will both take the same amount of time before they hit the ground.

Explanation:

For a ball fired horizontally from a given height, there is only a vertical acceleration on it towards the ground. This acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.81 m/s^2). A ball dropped from a height will also only experience the same vertical acceleration downwards which is also equal to g = 9.81 m/s^2.

Therefore both the cannonball and the ball will take the same amount of time to hit the ground if they are released/fired from the same height.

A person walks first at a constant speed of 5.40 m/s along a straight line from point to point and then back along the line from
rosijanka [135]

Answer: The average speed over the entire trip is 3.94 m/s

Explanation:

As we know : speed=\frac{distance}{time}

Let the distance of straight line from point to point be = d

Total distance covered = 2d

Time taken to cover the forward journey = \frac{d}{5.40}

Time taken to cover the backward journey = \frac{d}{3.10}

Total time for the journey = Time taken to cover the forward journey  + Time taken to cover the backward journey  = \frac{d}{5.40}+\frac{d}{3.10}

Average speed = \frac{\text {total distance}}{\text {total time}}=\frac{2d}{\frac{d}{5.40}+\frac{d}{3.10}}=3.94m/s

Thus  average speed over the entire trip is 3.94 m/s

A cylinder is fitted with a piston, beneath which is a spring, as in the drawing. The cylinder is open at the top. Friction is a
patriot [66]
A) We know that:
Pressure = Force / Area

And for a spring,
F = kx, where k is the spring constant and x is the change in length.

P = kx/A; P = 101325 Pa
101325 = 3900x / (0.02²π)
x = 0.033 m or 3.3 cm

b) Work = 1/2 kx²
= 1/2 * 3900 * (0.033)²
= 2.12 Joules

You can mow an average of 1400 square meters each hour. How many minutes will it take you to mow a lawn with an area of 320000 s
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

time required to mow lawn is 1274.06 minutes

Explanation:

given data

average mow = 1400 square meters each hour

area = 320000 square feet

to find out

How many minutes will take to mow lawn

solution

we know that here 1 square feet is equal to 0.092903 square meter

so 320000 square feet will be = 0.09203 × 320000 = 29728.9728 square meter

so time required is express as

time required = \frac{distance}{speed}

time required = \frac{29728.9728}{1400}

time required = 21.23 hours

so time required = 21.23 × 60 min = 1274.06

time required to mow lawn is 1274.06 minutes
