Two astronauts are 1.5m apart in their spaceship.One speaks to the other. The conversation is transmitted to earth via electroma

gnetic waves. The time it takes for sound waves to travel at 343 m/s through the air between the astronauts equals the time it takes for the electromagnetic waves to travel to the earth. How far away from the earth is the spaceship?

Answer:

1311900 m far away from the earth

Explanation:

Given data

astronauts = 1.5 m

sound waves to travel = 343 m/s

to find out

How far away from the earth

solution

we know 2 astronauts are at distance 1.5 m from each other

and  sound travel  343 m/s

so time period = distance / sound speed

time period = 1.5 / 343 = 4.373 ×10^{-3} sec

and time for sound reach at earth

speed of sound = 3 ×10^{8}  m/s

so

time  = distnace /   3 ×10^{8}

4.373 ×10^{-3}  = distnace /   3 ×10^{8}

distance = 4.373 ×10^{-3} × 3 ×10^{8}

distance = 1311900 m

so 1311900 m far away from the earth

Astronomers observe two separate solar systems each consisting of a planet orbiting a sun. The two orbits are circular and have
Oxana [17]

Answer:

(D) 3

Explanation:

The angular momentum is given by:

\vec{L}=\vec{r}\ X \ \vec{p}

Thus, the magnitude of the angular momenta of both solar systems are given by:

L_1=Rm_1v_1=Rm_1(\omega R)=R^2m_1(\frac{2\pi}{T_1})=2\pi R^2\frac{m_1}{T_1}\\\\L_2=Rm_2v_2=2\pi R^2\frac{m_2}{T_2}

where we have taken that both systems has the same radius.

By taking into account that T1=3T2, we have

L_1=2\pi R^2\frac{m_1}{3T_2}=\frac{1}{3}2\pi R^2\frac{1}{T_2}m_1=\frac{1}{3}\frac{L_2}{m_2}m_1

but L1=L2=L:

L=\frac{1}{3}L\frac{m_1}{m_2}\\\\\frac{m_1}{m_2}=3

Hence, the answer is (D) 3

A 1.0-kg block moving to the right at speed 3.0 m/s collides with an identical block also moving to the right at a speed 1.0 m/s
____ [38]

Answer:

Speed of both blocks after collision is 2 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of both blocks, m₁ = m₂ = 1 kg

Velocity of first block, u₁ = 3 m/s

Velocity of other block, u₂ = 1 m/s

Since, both blocks stick after collision. So, it is a case of inelastic collision. The momentum remains conserved while the kinetic energy energy gets reduced after the collision. Let v is the common velocity of both blocks. Using the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v

v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

v=\dfrac{1\ kg\times 3\ m/s+1\ kg\times 1\ m/s}{2\ kg}

v = 2 m/s

Hence, their speed after collision is 2 m/s.

A hockey puck is sliding across a frozen pond with an initial speed of 9.3 m/s. It comes to rest after sliding a distance of 42.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.11

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed, u = 9.3 m/s

sliding distance, S = 42 m

From equation of motion we determine the acceleration;

v² = u² + 2as

0 = (9.3)² + (2x42)a

- 84a = 86.49

a = -86.49/84

|a| = 1.0296

F_k = \mu_k N = ma

where;

Fk is the frictional force

μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction

N is the normal reaction = mg

μkmg = ma

μkg = a

μk = a/g

where;

g is the gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s²

μk = a/g

μk = 1.0296/9.8

μk = 0.11

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.11

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Hooke's law! F(spring)=-kx

There's no tricky square law here. The spring constant doesn't change, only x (distance stretched) changes. Therefore, if distance is halved, Force will be halved.
