A light-year is how astronomers measure distance in space.
-Light can travel 300,000 kilometres in one seconds!
Light year is the distance that light travel can travel in one year.
-Light can also travel 9,00,000,000,000 kilometers.
-One light is about 10 trillion km.
-Almost 300 years ago ,a Danish scientist named olaus roemer,was the fist man to estimate the distance light travels in a year -and using that he figure out the approximate speed of light!

A student pushes on a crate with a force of 100 Newtons directed to the right.

romanna [79]

Answer:

100N

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Therefore 100N of force is exerted by the crate on student as a reaction to his action

A fire hose held near the ground shoots water at a speed of 6.5 m/s. At what angle(s) should the nozzle point in order that the

valina [46]

The speed of water can be split into vertical and horizontal speed components:
$v_x = 6.5 cos \theta \\ v_y = 6.5 sin \theta$

Due to the force of gravity, the y component will be parabolic. The x component will be linear:
$y(t) = -4.9t^2 + (6.5sin \theta) t \\ \\ x(t) = (6.5 cos \theta) t$
To find when the water hits the ground 2.5m away, set y= 0 and x = 2.5
$-4.9t^2 + (6.5sin \theta) t=0 \\ \\ t = \frac{6.5}{4.9} sin \theta \\ \\(6.5 cos \theta)(\frac{6.5}{4.9} sin \theta) = 2.5 \\ \\ sin \theta cos \theta = 0.29 \\ \\ sin 2\theta = 0.58 \\ \\ 2\theta = 35.4, 144.6 \\ \\ \theta = 17.7,72.3$
