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.

Which object has more momentum?

lakkis [162]

Answer:

3. Large butterfly in flight, flying through the air?

Explanation:

Momentum is simply defined as the quantity of motion a body possess. It is mathematically given as;

Momentum = mass x velocity

The larger the mass, the larger the momentum and also the velocity

Since the large butterfly is in flight, it has the largest velocity.

A sleeping bear and resting caterpillar have no momentum because their velocity is 0

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

i. 0.34

ii. 0.4

iii. 1700 w/m²

iv. 2211.36 w/m²

Explanation:

Given that

Irradiation of the plate, G = 2500 w/m²

Reflected rays, p = 500 w/m²

Emissive power, E = 1200 w/m²

In a high school swim competition, a student takes 1.6 s to complete 1.5 somersaults. Determine the average angular speed of the

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The angular speed is $w = 5.89 \ rad/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The time taken is $t = 1.6 s$

The number of somersaults is n = 1.5

The total angular displacement during the somersault is mathematically represented as

$\theta = n * 2 * \pi$

substituting values

$\theta = 1.5 * 2 * 3.142$

$\theta = 9.426 \ rad$

The angular speed is mathematically represented as

$w = \frac{\theta }{t}$

substituting values

$w = \frac{9.426}{1.6}$

$w = 5.89 \ rad/s$
