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 ball of mass 4.5 kg moving with speed of 2.2 m/s in the +x-direction hits a wall and bounces back with the same speed in the x

Levart [38]

Answer:

The change of the momentum of the ball is $-19.8\, \frac{mkg}{s}$

Explanation:

We should find $\varDelta\overrightarrow{p}=\overrightarrow{p_{f}}-\overrightarrow{p_{i}}$ (1)with $\overrightarrow{p_{i}}$ the initial momentum and $\overrightarrow{p_{f}}$ the final momentum. Linear momentum is defined as $\overrightarrow{p}=m\overrightarrow{v}$ , using that on (1):

$\varDelta\overrightarrow{p}=m \overrightarrow{v_{f}}-m \overrightarrow{v_{i}}$ (2)

It's important to note that momentum and velocity are vectors and direction matters, so if +x direction is the direction towards the wall and the -x direction away the wall $\overrightarrow{v_{i}}=+2.2\, \frac{m}{s}$ and $\overrightarrow{v_{f}}=-2.2\, \frac{m}{s}$ so (2) becomes:

$\varDelta\overrightarrow{p}=m(-2.2- (+2.2))=-(4.5)(4.4)$

$\varDelta\overrightarrow{p}=-19.8\, \frac{mkg}{s}$

A solid sphere of radius R is placed at a height of 30 cm on a15 degree slope. It is released and rolls, without slipping, to th

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The height is $h_c = 42.857$

A circular hoop of different diameter cannot be released from a height 30cm and match the sphere speed because from the conservation relation the speed of the hoop is independent of the radius (Hence also the diameter )

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The height is $h_s = 30 \ cm$

The angle of the slope is $\theta = 15^o$

According to the law of conservation of energy

The potential energy of the sphere at the top of the slope = Rotational kinetic energy + the linear kinetic energy

$mgh = \frac{1}{2} I w^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Where I is the moment of inertia which is mathematically represented as this for a sphere

$I = \frac{2}{5} mr^2$

The angular velocity $w$ is mathematically represented as

$w = \frac{v}{r}$

So the equation for conservation of energy becomes

$mgh_s = \frac{1}{2} [\frac{2}{5} mr^2 ][\frac{v}{r} ]^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$mgh_s = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 [\frac{2}{5} +1 ]$

$mgh_s = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 [\frac{7}{5} ]$

$gh_s =[\frac{7}{10} ] v^2$

$v^2 = \frac{10gh_s}{7}$

Considering a circular hoop

The moment of inertial is different for circle and it is mathematically represented as

$I = mr^2$

Substituting this into the conservation equation above

$mgh_c = \frac{1}{2} (mr^2)[\frac{v}{r} ] ^2 + \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Where $h_c$ is the height where the circular hoop would be released to equal the speed of the sphere at the bottom

$mgh_c = mv^2$

$gh_c = v^2$

$h_c = \frac{v^2}{g}$

Recall that $v^2 = \frac{10gh_s}{7}$

$h_c= \frac{\frac{10gh_s}{7} }{g}$

$= \frac{10h_s}{7}$

Substituting values

$h_c = \frac{10(30)}{7}$

$h_c = 42.86 \ cm$

The distance in meters she would have moved before she begins to slow down is 11.25 m

<h3>LINEAR MOTION</h3>

A straight line movement is known as linear motion

Given that Ann is driving down a street at 15 m/s. Suddenly a child runs into the street. It takes Ann 0.75 seconds to react and apply the brakes.

To know how many meters will she have moved before she begins to slow down, we need to first list all the given parameters.

speed = 15 m/s

time t = 0.75 s

From definition of speed,

speed = distance / time

Make distance the subject of the formula

distance = speed x time

distance = 15 x 0.75

distance = 11.25m

Therefore, the distance in meters she would have moved before she begins to slow down is 11.25 m

In the system illustrated by the diagram, the magnetic field is increasing. In which

Black_prince [1.1K]

The emf will be induced in anti-clockwise direction.

<u>Explanation</u>

Lenz's law tells us the direction us the direction that the current will flow. It states that the direction is always such that it will oppose the change in flux which produced it. This means that any magnetic field produced by an induced current will be in opposite direction to the change in the original field.

To find the direction of emf, Stretch the forefinger, middle finger and the thumb of the right hand mutually perpendicular to each other. If the force finger points in the direction of the magnetic field, the thumb gives the direction of the motion of the conductor then the middle finger gives the direction of the induced current.
