Answer:

time = 8.3333 minutes.

Explanation:

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 * 10^{8}km

speed of light = 3* 10^{8}m/s

convert the distance unit from km to m so we can have uniform units.

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 *10^{8}*1000m

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 * 10^{11}m

speed = distance /time

time = distance / speed

time = \frac{1.5*10^{11} }{3*10^{8} }

= 0.5*10^{3}

time =500 sec

time = 500/60 minutes

time = 8.3333 minutes.

What is the most fundamental property of a star in determining its evolution? luminosity temperature composition mass size?
Vitek1552 [10]
The most fundamental property of a star that determines its evolution is the MASS of the star.

In fact, while low-mass stars usually end their life becoming red giants and then white or black dwarfs, the high-mass stars can evolve into red supergiants and eventually originate a supernova. After the explosion of the supernova, depending on their mass, they can becomes neutron stars or collapse into black holes.

Explain why in the construction of a lightning conductor one end is made into a sharp point​
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

A lightning conductor is made up of a sharp pointed metal (usually copper metal, as it is a very good conductor) connected directly to the ground. ... The lightning conductor is placed higher than the roof so that if lightning strikes, it strikes the conductor before it can reach the house.

A crate resting on a rough horizontal floor is to be moved horizontally. The coefficient of static friction is 0.36. To start th
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The direction of force will be in upward direction making an angle of θ with the vertical .

Reaction force R = mg - F cosθ

Friction force = μR

= .36 (mg - F cosθ )

Horizontal component of applied force

= F sinθ

For equilibrium

F sinθ = .36 (mg - F cosθ)

F sinθ + .36 F cosθ =.36 mg

F (sinθ + .36 cosθ) = .36 mg

F R( cosδsinθ +sinδ cosθ) = .36 mg ( Rcosδ = 1 . Rsinδ= .36 )

F R sin( θ+δ )  = . 36 mg

F = .36 mg / Rsin( θ+δ )

For minimum F , sin( θ+δ ) should be maximum

sin( θ+ δ ) = sin 90

θ+ δ  = 90

Rsinδ / Rcosδ  = .36

δ = 20⁰

θ = 70⁰ Ans
