Answer: The correct answer is Option b. Distance.

Explanation:

Scientists and astronomers use this unit to measure the distance in space. A light year is a unit of distance and not time because light travels very fast and it travels a lot of distance in one year.

Light year is basically defined as how far the beam of light travels in a year.

Therefore, this light year is a unit of distance. Hence, the correct option is option b.

1\text{ light year}=5.879\times 10^{12}miles

Two identical 0.50-kg carts, each 0.10 m long, are at rest on a low-friction track and are connected by a spring that is initial
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The system's kinetic energy changes by 3.6 J

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of cart = 2

The mass of each cart = 0.5kg

The initial length of the spring = 0.50 m

The final length of the spring =T0.3 m

The change in position of the first cart = 0.6 m

The energy given to the first cart = Work done by the force = Force × Displacement

The initial kinetic energy of the two cart moving together = Energy given to the first cart = 6.0 × 0.2 = 1.2J

The kinetic energy given to the two cart combined = The applied force × The total displacement of the two cart as they move together

The kinetic energy given to the two cart combined = 6.0 × (0.6 - 0.2)

The kinetic energy given to the two cart combined = 6.0 × 0.4 = 2.4 J

The total kinetic energy given to the two cart = 1.2 + 2.4 = 3.6 J

The total kinetic energy given to the two cart = 3.6 J

The system's kinetic energy changes by 3.6 J.

How much force is needed to stop a 80 kg football player if he decelerates at 5m/s?
cricket20 [7]

Use Newton's 2nd law of motion.
Here it is:

                     Force  =  (mass)  x  (acceleration)

                                 = (80 kg) x (-5 m/s²)

                                 =      -400 Newtons .

I called the acceleration negative because the player is slowing down.

The force comes out negative because it's in the direction opposite to
his motion.

A small boat is moving at a velocity of 1.93 m/s when it is accelerated by a river current perpendicular to the initial directio
olasank [31]

Answer:

16.405m/s

Explanation:

Given, initial velocity = u = 1.93m/s, acceleration = a = 0.750m/s2, time = t = 19.3s, final velocity = v= ?

Using the first equation of linear motion,

v = u + at

v = 1.93 + 0.750 x 19.3

v = 1.93 + 14.475

v = 16.405m/s

2 Magnetism comes from the word
AysviL [449]

Answer:

A Magnesia

Explanation:

The word magnetism comes from the word Magnesia, which is the name for a region in Asia Minor, where fragments of Fe3O4 ore (magnetite) were found, which attracts other metal objects.

Magnetism is a physical phenomenon by which we describe the attractive or repulsive force between materials.

This phenomenon has been known for thousands of years.

Two identical trucks, having the same mass, are traveling down a long straight flat road at constant speeds. However, Truck A ha
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Momentum

Explanation:

Truck A has a greater momentum compared to Truck B.

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of a body;

     Momentum = mass x velocity

We see that the body with more mass and velocity will have a higher momentum.

Since the two bodies have the same mass, and the speed A is greater, then A will have a greater momentum.
