(a) By definition of average acceleration,

<em>a</em> = ∆<em>v</em> / ∆<em>t</em> = (0 - 38 m/s) / (5.0 s)

<em>a</em> = -7.6 m/s²

(b) Recall that

<em>v</em>² - <em>u</em>² = 2 <em>a</em> ∆<em>x</em>

where <em>u</em> and <em>v</em> are initial and final velocities, respectively; <em>a</em> is acceleration; and ∆<em>x</em> is the change in position. So

0² - (38 m/s)² = 2 (-7.6 m/s²) ∆<em>x</em>

∆<em>x</em> = 95 m

How many times Father is Proxima Centauri from the sun then is earth from the sun answer choices about 269,000 times or about 0.
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

269,000

Explanation:

The distance between Proxima Centauri and the Sun, d₁₁ = 4.246 light years

The distance between Earth and the Sun, d₂ = 1.58 × 10⁻⁵ light years

The ratio of the distances are;

d₁/d₂ = 4.246/(1.58 × 10⁻⁵) = 268734.177215 ≈ 269,000 times

Therefore, Proxima Centauri is approximately 269,000 times further from the Sun than the Earth is from the Sun

A glass rod that has been charged to +12.0 nC touches a metal sphere. Afterward, the rod's charge is +8.0 nC. a) What kind of ch
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

charge transferred to sphere = 12 - 8 = 4 nC

a )

The positive charge is decreased on glass rod , that means electrons must have entered the glass rod from the sphere which reduces its positive charge.

b )

charge transferred = 4 nC = 4 x 10⁻⁹ C

charge on one electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

No of electrons transferred

= Total charge transferred / charge on one electron

= 4 x 10⁻⁹ / 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 2.5 x 10¹⁰ .
