Hey there,

Your question states: <span>How long does it take for light from a star that is 8 light-years away to reach earth?

It take just about (</span>8 earth years) <span> for light from a star that is 8 light-years away to reach earth. That is how </span>FAST it would take.

Hope this helps.

Suppose Tom Harmon17 is standing at the exact center of the Ohio State football field18 on the 50 yard line. The field is 300 fe
nignag [31]

Answer:

a) x = 40 t , y = 39 t ,  z = 6 + 32 t - 16 t ²,   b)     x = 80 feet ,  y = 78 feet , the ball came into the field  

Explanation:

a) This is a projectile launch exercise, where in the x and y axes there is no acceleration and in the z axis the acceleration of the acceleration of gravity, let's write the equations of motion in each axis

Since the cast is in the center of the field, let's place the coordinate system

          x₀ = 0

          y₀ = 0

          z₀ = 6 feet

x-axis (towards end zone,  GOAL zone)

         x = xo + v₀ₓ t

        x = 40 t

y-axis (field width)

        y = y₀ + v_{oy} t

        y = 39 t

z axis (vertical)

        z = z₀ + v_{oz} t - ½ g t²

        z = 6 + 32 t - ½ 32 t²

        z = 6 + 32 t - 16 t ²

b) The player catches the ball at the same height as it came out, so we can find the time it takes to arrive

          z = 6

          6 = 6 + 32 t - 16 t²

          (t - 2)t  = 0

           t=0 s

           t= 2 s

The ball position

          x = 40 2

          x = 80 feet

           

          y = 39 2

          y = 78 feet

the dimensions of the field from the coordinate system (center of the field) are

             x_total = 150 feet

             y _total = 80 feet

so we can see that the ball came into the field

A large airplane typically has three sets of wheels: one at the front and two farther back, one on each side under the wings. Co
Tems11 [23]

(a) The force the ground exerts on each set of rear wheels when the plane is at rest on the runway is 0.743 MN.

(b) The force the ground exerts on the front set of wheels is 0.239 MN.

<h3>Center mass of the airplane</h3>

The concept of center mass of an object can be used to dtermine the mass distribution of the airplane along the line through the center.

<h3>Some assumptions</h3>
  • The wheels under the wind do not pass through the center line.
  • The position of the front wheel is constant and it is zero mark (origin).
  • The rear wheels are at 21.7 m mark

Position of the center mass of the plane is calculated as follows;

Let the position of the center mass, Xcm = y

the center mass is 3 m in front of rear wheels, that is

21.7 - y = 3

y = 21.7 - 3

y = 18.7 m

Xcm = 18.7 m

<h3>Mass of the plane at the position of the rear wheels</h3>

Let the mass of the plane at front wheels = M1

Let the mass of the plane at rear wheels = M2

X_{cm} = \frac{M_1x_1 + M_2x_2}{M_1 + M_2}

18.7 = \frac{M_1(0) + M_2(21.7)}{177000} \\\\3,309,900 = 21.7M_2\\\\M_2 = \frac{3,309,900}{21.7} \\\\M_2 = 152,529.95 \ kg

<h3>Force exerted by the ground on each rear wheel</h3>

There are two rear wheels, and the force exerted on each wheel due to mass of the airplane at this position is calculated as follows;

W = mg\\\\W_1 = W_2 = \frac{1}{2} (mg) = \frac{1}{2} (152,529.95 \times 9.8) = 743,396.76 \ N= 0.743 \ MN

<h3>Mass of the plane at the position of the front wheel</h3>

M1 + M2 = 177,000

M1 = 177,000 - M2

M1 = 177,000 - 152,529.95

M1 = 24,470.05 kg

<h3>Force exerted by the ground on the front wheel</h3>

W = mg

W = 24,470.05 x 9.8

W = 239,806.5 N = 0.239 MN
