Distance measurements based on the speed of light; used for objects in space

Physics
1 answer:
Vika [28.1K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer : Yes, distance measurements based on the speed of light used for objects in space.

Explanation :  A light year is measurement  of distance  that light travel in a one year.

In a one year light travels 9460000000000 kilometer.

We know that, speed of light is 3\times10^{8}\ m/s

and  time is 31536000 seconds in 1 year

so, distance = speed of light X time

Now, the light year is 9.4608\times10^{15} meter

Example : The nearest star to earth is about 4.3 light year away.

A roller coaster car may be approximated by a block of mass m. Thecar, which starts from rest, is released at a height h above t
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The first part can be solved via conservation of energy.

mgh = mg2R + K\\K = mg(h-2R)

For the second part,

the free body diagram of the car should be as follows:

- weight in the downwards direction

- normal force of the track to the car in the downwards direction

The total force should be equal to the centripetal force by Newton's Second Law.

F = ma = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\mg + N = \frac{mv^2}{R}

where N = 0 because we are looking for the case where the car loses contact.

mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\v^2 = gR\\v = \sqrt{gR}

Now we know the minimum velocity that the car should have. Using the energy conservation found in the first part, we can calculate the minimum height.

mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}m(gR)\\gh = g2R + \frac{1}{2}gR\\h = 2R + \frac{R}{2}\\h = \frac{5R}{2}

Explanation:

The point that might confuse you in this question is the direction of the normal force at the top of the loop.

We usually use the normal force opposite to the weight. However, normal force is the force that the road exerts on us. Imagine that the car goes through the loop very very fast. Its tires will feel a great amount of normal force, if its velocity is quite high. By the same logic, if its velocity is too low, it might not feel a normal force at all, which means losing contact with the track.

How much force is required to move a tractor 60m, when using 250J of work?
lianna [129]

Answer:

Work done,W= 250J

Displacement , s = 60

We know that, Work done = Force x displacement

i.e , W = Fxs

250 J = F x 60m

F = 250/60

=4.16 N

Hence , 4.16 N of Force is applied on the body.

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

1.1x10^-2N

Explanation:

We have the change in momentum as

P = 0.3(4.5+12)g.mph

= 0.3x0.447x(4.5+12)x10^-3

Then the force that is exerted will be

F = p/∆t

∆t = 0.2

= 0.3x0.447x(4.5+12)x10^-3/0.2

= 0.1341x16.5x10^-3/0.2

= 1.1x10^-2

Therefore the force that was exerted is equal to 1.1x10^-2
