Yes! The sun is a star, just like any star you can see in the sky at night. The sun is in the center of our solar system and the closest star to Earth.

Yes it is because it has all the characteristics of one
The sun is unremarkable
There are countless stars with the same attributes as the sun throughout the universe

How can a high school student have more momentum than a truck

morpeh [17]

Answer:

When truck is at rest while student is under motion

Explanation:

Since it is obvious that the mass of a truck is more than that of a student, we know that momentum is a product of mass and velocity

P=mv where m represent mass, v is velocity. When the student has more speed than that of truck, he exerts more momentum. The only way a student can exert more momentum is by having more speed while the truck is at rest. In such case, the momentum of truck will be zero while momentum of student will have a value

A thin, metallic spherical shell of radius 0.187 m has a total charge of 6.53×10−6 C placed on it. A point charge of 5.15×10−6 C

MAVERICK [17]

Answer: a) 112.88 * 10^3 N/C; b) The electric field point outward from the center of the sphere.

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to use the gaussian law so we use a gaussian surface at r=0.965 m and the electric flux is equal to Q inside/εo

E* 4*π*r^2= Q inside/εo

E= k*Q inside/r^2= 9*10^9*(6.53+5.15)μC/(0.965)^2=122.88 * 10 ^3 N/C

A ball rolls across a floor with an acceleration of 0.100 m/s2 in a direction opposite to its velocity. The ball has a velocity

Westkost [7]

Answer:

4.15 m/s

Explanation:

Its given that acceleration is 0.1 m/s² with a direction opposite to the velocity. Since, the direction of acceleration is opposite to the velocity, this gives us a hint that the velocity is decreasing and so acceleration would be negative.

i.e.

acceleration = a = - 0.1 m/s²

Distance covered = S = 6m

Velocity after covering 6 meters = Final velocity = $v_{f}$ = 4 m/s

We need to find the initial speed, which will be the same as the magnitude of initial velocity.

Initial velocity = $v_{i}$ = ?

3rd equation of motion relates the acceleration, distance, final velocity and initial velocity as:

$2aS = (v_{f})^{2}-(v_{i})^{2}$

Using the known values in the formula, we get:

$2(-0.1)(6)=(4)^{2}- (v_{i})^{2}\\\\ (v_{i})^{2}=16+1.2\\\\ (v_{i})^{2}=17.2\\\\ v_{i}=4.15$

Thus, the initial speed of the ball was 4.15 m/s

If a bust starts to move and its velocity becomes 90 km after 8 seconds . calculate its acceleration answer it quick please

kherson [118]

Answer:

a = 3.125 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of kinematics. But first, we have to convert the speed of 90 [km/h] to meters per second.

$90\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1h}{3600s} \\= 25 \frac{m}{s}$

$v_{f} =v_{i} + (a*t)$

where:

Vf = final velocity = 25 [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 0

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

t = time = 8 [s]

The initial speed is zero as the bus starts to koverse from rest. The positive sign of the equation means that the bus increases its speed.

25 = 0 + a*8

a = 3.125 [m/s^2]
