D = 0.9 km = 900 m, distance moved
v = 35 nm/s , the speed

v = 35 x 10⁻⁹ m/s
   = (35 x 10⁻⁹ m/s)*(365 days/y)*(24*60*60 s/day)
   = 1.1038 m/y

The time iaken is
t = d/v
  = (900 m)/(1.1038 m/y)
  = 815.365 y

Answer: 815.4 y (nearest tenth)

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!
musickatia [10]

Answer:

22.2 W

Explanation:

First of all, we calculate the work done by moving the wagon, using the formula:

W=Fdcos \theta

where

F = 20 N is the magnitude of the force

d = 1000 m is the displacement of the wagon

\theta=0^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement (assuming the force is applied in the direction of motion)

Substituting, we find

W=(20)(1000)=20,000 J

Now we can find the power generated, which is equal to the ratio between the work done and the time taken:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W = 20,000 J

t = 15 min = 900 s

Substituting,

P=\frac{20000}{900}=22.2 W

And the same value in Joules/second (remember that 1 Watt = 1 Joule/second)

for any object suspended by any number of ropes, wires, or chains, how is the total amount of tension (tension in each rope adde
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

To calculate the tension on a rope holding 1 object, multiply the mass and gravitational acceleration of the object. If the object is experiencing any other acceleration, multiply that acceleration by the mass and add it to your first total.

Explanation:

The tension in a given strand of string or rope is a result of the forces pulling on the rope from either end. As a reminder, force = mass × acceleration. Assuming the rope is stretched tightly, any change in acceleration or mass in objects the rope is supporting will cause a change in tension in the rope. Don't forget the constant acceleration due to gravity - even if a system is at rest, its components are subject to this force. We can think of a tension in a given rope as T = (m × g) + (m × a), where "g" is the acceleration due to gravity of any objects the rope is supporting and "a" is any other acceleration on any objects the rope is supporting.[2]

For the purposes of most physics problems, we assume ideal strings - in other words, that our rope, cable, etc. is thin, massless, and can't be stretched or broken.

As an example, let's consider a system where a weight hangs from a wooden beam via a single rope (see picture). Neither the weight nor the rope are moving - the entire system is at rest. Because of this, we know that, for the weight to be held in equilibrium, the tension force must equal the force of gravity on the weight. In other words, Tension (Ft) = Force of gravity (Fg) = m × g.

Assuming a 10 kg weight, then, the tension force is 10 kg × 9.8 m/s2 = 98 Newtons.

22. State any three features of the electroscope.​
MatroZZZ [7]
-1- was created in the 1600 by william gilbert
-2-When the charge is positive, electrons in the metal of the electroscope are attracted to the charge and move upward out of the leaves. This results in the leaves to have a temporary positive charge and because like charges repel, the leaves separate. When the charge is removed, the electrons return to their original positions and the leaves relax
3-

An electroscope is made up of a metal detector knob on top which is connected to a pair of metal leaves hanging from the bottom of the connecting rod. When no charge is present the metals leaves hang loosely downward. But, when an object with a charge is brought near an electroscope, one of the two things can happen.

An astronaut working with many tools some distance away from a spacecraft is stranded when the "maneuvering unit" malfunctions.
N76 [4]

Answer:

He can return to the spacecraft by sacrificing some of the tools employing the principle of conservation of momentum.

Explanation:

By carefully evaluating his direction back to the ship, the astronaut can throw some of his tools in the opposite direction to that. On throwing those tools of a certain mass, they travel at a certain velocity giving him velocity in the form of recoil in the opposite direction of the velocity of the tools. This is same as a gun and bullet recoil momentum conservation. It is also the principle on which the operational principles of their maneuvering unit is designed.
