Answer:

Time = 847.73 s = 14.12 min

Explanation:

The distance traveled by an object travelling at a constant speed is given by the following formula:

Distance = (Speed)(Time)

Time = Distance/Speed

where,

Distance = 1.7 AU

converting it into meters:

Distance = (1.7 AU)(1.496 x 10¹¹ m/1 AU) = 2.543 x 10¹¹ m

Speed = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore, using these values in the equation we get:

Time = (2.543 x 10¹¹ m)/(3 x 10⁸ m/s)

<u>Time = 847.73 s = 14.12 min</u>

Answer:

14.1mins

Explanation:

We know that

Time =Distance/Speed

So

= 1.7 au/ (3 E8 m /s )

= 1.7 x 1.496 x 10^11 m /(3 x 10^8 m /s

Converting Au to meters (1.7 x 1.496 x 10^11 m)

= 847.7 s

=14.1 mins

Name two devices we use generators in. Describe how they work.
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

There are two fundamental types of generators known as AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) generators. While the technique of producing electricity is the same in both types, AC and DC power become different in terms of their applications – the way in which loads receive electric power.

Explanation:

An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output. ... Instead, it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit.

A former student of mechanics wishes to weigh himself but has access only to a scale a with capacity limited to 120 lbs and a sm
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The correct weight of the former student = 116 lbf

Explanation:

To solve the question, we list out the known variables as follows

Capacity of the scale = 120 lbs

Capacity of the spring dynamometer = 20 lbs

Reading on the scale = 100lb

Reading on the spring dynamometer= 16 lb

at equilibrium, sum of forces = 0

Therefore weight of former student = reaction forces of the scale + the reaction force of the spring dynamometer = 100lb + 16 lb = 116 lb

The correct weight = 116lb weight or 52.62 kg

Converting to weight which is a force = mass * acceleration = 52.62 kg * 9.81 m/s² =

516.2 N = 116 lbf

krok68 [10]

Given :

An 80kg sled rider starts sledding down a 100m hill from rest. If her final velocity is 15m/s.

To Find :

The acceleration down the hill.

The force needed for that kind of acceleration.

Solution :

By equation of motion :

v^2 -u^2 = 2as\\\\a = \dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\\a = \dfrac{15^2 -0^2}{2\times 100}\\\\a = 1.125\ m/s^2

Force required is, F = ma

F = 80×1.125 N

F = 90 N

Hence, this is the required solution.
