How much of earths gravitational force acts on everyone and everything onboard of the international space station?

A light year is defined as the distance that light can travel in 1 year. What is the value of 1 light year in meter? Show your c

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

d=9.462×10^15 meters

Explanation:

<u>Relation between distance, temps and velocity:</u>

d=v*t

t=1year*(365days/1year)*/(24hours/1day)*(3600s/1h)=31536000s

So:

1 light year=d=3*10^8m/s*3.154*10^7s=9.462×10^15 meters

When operated on a household 110.0 V line, typical hair dryers draw about 1650 W of power. The current can be modeled as a long,

Andre45 [30]

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage of household line, V = 110 V

Power of the hairdryer, P = 1650 W

During use, the current is about 1.95 cm from the user's hand.

(a) Power is given by :

$P=V\times I\\\\I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{1650\ W}{110\ V}\\\\I=15\ A$

(b) Again the power is given by :

$P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}$

R is resistance of the dryer

$R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\\R=\dfrac{(110)^2}{1650}\\\\R=7.34\ \Omega$

(c) The magnetic field produced by the dryer at the user's hand is given by :

$B=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}\\\\B=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 15}{2\pi \times 1.95\times 10^{-2}}\\\\B=1.53\times 10^{-4}\ T$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A uniform solid disk with a mass of 24.3 kg and a radius of 0.364 m is free to rotate about a frictionless axle. Forces of 90.0

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a. $-12.7 Nm$

b. $-7.9 rad/s^2$

Explanation:

I have attached an illustration of a solid disk with the respective forces applied, as stated in this question.

Forces applied to the solid disk include:

$F_1 = 90.0N\\F_2 = 125N$

Other parameters given include:

Mass of solid disk, $M = 24.3kg$

and radius of solid disk, $r = 0.364m$

a.) The formula for determining torque ( $T$ ), is $T = r * F$

Hence the net torque produced by the two forces is given as a summation of both forces:

$T = T_{125} + T_{90}\\= -r(125)sin90 + r(90)sin90\\= 0.364(-125 + 90)\\= -12.7 Nm$

b.) The angular acceleration of the disk can be found thus:

using the formula for the Moment of Inertia of a solid disk;

$I_{disk} = {\frac{1}{2}}Mr^2$

where $M$ = Mass of solid disk

and $r$ = radius of solid disk

We then relate the torque and angular acceleration ( $\alpha$ ) with the formula:

$T = I\alpha \\-12.7 = ({\frac{1}{2}}Mr^2)\alpha \\\alpha = -{\frac{12.7}{1.61}} = -7.9 rad/s^2$

Meg goes swimming on a hot afternoon. When she comes out of the pool, her foot senses that the prevement is unbearably hot. Supp

mart [117]

1.Record her observation with the time it was hot.
2. Gather info about the pavement and its surroundings. Find out what it's made of and what its temp. is at different times of the day.
3. Come up with a hypothesis about why it is hot.
4. Design an experiment to test the hypothesis. If she thinks the Sun is responsible (which she should b smart enough to know), keep it covered during the day time and check it's temp.
5. Come up with a conclusion. If her hypothesis is not supported, design a new experiment or gather more info.
