From the curve on the graph we can see, when y=50 x=4.5
the unit of x-axis is in "billions of years", so the answer is 4.5 billions of years

On your first trip to Planet X you happen to take along a 180 g mass, a 40-cm-long spring, a meter stick, and a stopwatch. You'r

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

g_x = 3.0 m / s^2

Explanation:

Given:

- Change in length of spring [email protected] = 22.6 cm

- Time taken for 11 oscillations t = 19.0 s

Find:

- The value of gravitational free fall g_x at plant X:

Solution:

- We will assume a simple harmonic motion of the mass for which Time is:

T = 2*pi*sqrt(k / m ) ...... 1

- Sum of forces in vertical direction @equilibrium is zero:

F_net = k*x - m*g_x = 0

(k / m) = (g_x / x) .... 2

- substitute Eq 2 into Eq 1:

2*pi / T = sqrt ( g_x / x )

g_x = (2*pi / T )^2 * x

- Evaluate g_x:

g_x = (2*pi / (19 / 11) )^2 * 0.226

g_x = 3.0 m / s^2

Keeping the mass at 1.0 kg and the velocity at 10.0 m/s, record the magnitude of centripetal acceleration for each given radius

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration for the first radius; 2.0 m = 50 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the second radius; 4.0 m = 25 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the third radius; 6.0 m = 16.67 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the fourth radius; 8.0 m = 12.5 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the fifth radius; 10.0 m = 10 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 1 kg

velocity of the object, v = 10 m/s

different values of the radius, 2.0 m 4.0 m 6.0 m 8.0 m 10.0 m

The centripetal acceleration for the first radius; 2.0 m

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r} \\\\a_c_1= \frac{(10)^2}{2} \\\\a_c_1= 50 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the second radius; 4.0 m

$a_c_2= \frac{(10)^2}{4} \\\\a_c_2= 25 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the third radius; 6.0 m

$a_c_3= \frac{(10)^2}{6} \\\\a_c_3= 16.67 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the fourth radius; 8.0 m

$a_c_4= \frac{(10)^2}{8} \\\\a_c_4= 12.5 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the fifth radius; 10.0 m

$a_c_5= \frac{(10)^2}{10} \\\\a_c_5= 10 \ m/s^2$

If we use 1 millimeter to represent 1 light-year, how large in diameter is the Milky Way Galaxy?

storchak [24]

Answer:

d.100 meters

Explanation:

The diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years.

Here we are using 1 millimiter (1 mm) to represent 1 light-year (1 ly). So, we can set the following proportion:

$1 mm : 1 ly = x : 100,000 ly$

and by finding x, we find the diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy in the scale used:

$x=\frac{(1mm )(100,000 ly)}{1 ly}=100,000 mm = 100 m$

so the correct answer is

d. 100 meters
