Answer:

7.77 x 10⁸ Km

Explanation:

given,

Speed of light = 3 x 10⁵ Km/s

= 3 x 10⁸ m/s

1 light hour = 1.079 x 10⁹ Km

now,

0.72 light hour = 0.72 x 1.079 x 10⁹ Km

= 0.7769 x 10⁹ Km

= 7.77 x 10⁸ Km

The Jupiter is 7.77 x 10⁸ Km far from sun.

Answer:

Explanation:

speed of light, v = 3 x 10^8 m/s

time = 0.72 hour

distance = velocity x time

distance = 3 x 10^8 x 0.72 x 3600

distance = 7776 x 10^8 m = 7.78 x 10^8 km

Thus, the distance is 7.78 x 10^8 km.

A horizontal force of magnitude 46.3 n pushes a block of mass 4.14 kg across a floor where the coefficient of kinetic friction i

IrinaVladis [17]

A) Calling F the intensity of the horizontal force and d the displacement of the block across the floor, the work done by the horizontal force is equal to
$W=Fd = (46.3 N)(4.25 m)=196.8 J$

b) The work done by the frictional force against the motion of the block is equal to:
$W_f = -F_f d =- (\mu mg) d =-(0.609)(4.14 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(4.25 m)=$
$=-105.1 J$
Part of these 105.1 Joules of work becomes increase of thermal energy of the block ( $\Delta E_B$ ), and part of it becomes increase of thermal energy of the floor ( $\Delta E_F$ ). We already know the increase in thermal energy of the block (38.2 J), so we can find the increase in thermal energy of the floor:
$\Delta E_F = 105.1 J - \Delta E_B = 105.1 J-38.2 J=66.9 J$

c) The net work done on the block is the work done by the horizontal force F minus the work done by the frictional force (the frictional force acts against the motion, so we must take it with a negative sign):
$W_{net}=W-W_f=196.8 J-105.1 J=91.7 J$
For the work-energy theorem, the work done on the block is equal to its increase of kinetic energy:
$W_{net} = \Delta K$
So, we have $\Delta K=+91.7 J$

If the final position vector of a moving object has a smaller magnitude than the initial position vector, then the change in the

BARSIC [14]

Explanation:

The given statement is absolutely true. this is because magnitude of a vector is always non negative, it can not be zero unless its a zero vector. So, in the given question, final position vector of a moving object has a smaller magnitude than the initial position vector, so, magnitude is neither zero nor negative. Hence, it has a positive magnitude.

Which of these would best describe the outcome of increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules in the above picture? A) The te

VikaD [51]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Relation between kinetic energy and temperature is as follows.

$K.E \propto \frac{3}{2}kT$

As, kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature. So, when there will be increase in temperature then there will also occur increase in kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

And, when gas particles move slowly then it means kinetic energy of gas particles is very low. It also implies that temperature is low.

Thus, we can conclude that temperature will increase best describes the outcome of increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules in the above picture.

If you seal a container of air at room temperature (20.0 degrees celcius) and then put it in the refrigerator (2.00 degrees celc

zheka24 [161]

The pressure inside the container will be 9.39×10⁴Pa

At constant volume, the pressure in a container is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.

If air in a container is sealed at 20⁰C at a pressure equal to the atmospheric pressure and cooled to 2.00⁰C, the pressure inside the container falls.

Convert the temperature in Celsius to Kelvin.

$T_1=20.0^oC+273.15=293.15K\\T_2=2.00^oC+273.15=275.15K$

Use the expression for the pressure law.

$\frac{P_2}{P_1} =\frac{T_2}{T_1}$

Substitute 100,000 Pa for P₁, 293.16 K for T₁ and 275.15K for T₂.

$\frac{P_2}{P_1} =\frac{T_2}{T_1}\\ P_2=P_1(\frac{T_2}{T_1})\\ =(100,000Pa)(\frac{275.15K}{293.15K} )\\ =9.386*10^4Pa$

The pressure in the container (correct to 2 sf) is 9.39×10⁴Pa
