Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocity over time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (18.0 m/s − 0 m/s) / (6.00 s)

a = 3.00 m/s²

Momentum is mass time velocity.

p = mv

p = (8000 kg) (18.0 m/s)

p = 144,000 kg m/s

The sun is more massive than the moon, but the sun is farther from the earth. Which one exerts a greater gravitational force on
love history [14]

Answer:

178.4 times

Explanation:

We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}

where G =6.67408 × 10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2 is the gravitational constant on Earth. M_1, M_2 is the masses of the 2 objects. and R is the distance between them.

From here we can calculate the ratio of gravitational force between the moon and the sun

\frac{F_s}{F_m} = \frac{G\frac{MM_s}{R_s^2}}{G\frac{MM_m}{R_m^2}}

We can divide the top and bottom by G and M

\frac{F_s}{F_m}= \frac{M_s}{R_s^2}:\frac{M_m}{R_m^2}

= \frac{M_s}{R_s^2}\frac{R_m^2}{M_m}

= \frac{M_s}{M_m}(\frac{R_m}{R_s})^2

= \frac{1.99*10^{30}}{7.35*10^{22}}(\frac{3.85*10^8}{1.5*10^{11}})^2

= 27074830*6.59*10^{-6} = 178.4

So the gravitational force of the sun is about 178 times greater than that of the moon to an object on Earth

Light travels at a speed of about 3.0 108 m/s. (a) how many miles does a pulse of light travel in a time interval of 0.1 s, whic
babunello [35]

Speed of light is given as

c = 3 * 10^8 m/s

time interval is given as

\Delta t = 0.1 s

so the distance covered by the light is given as

d = v * \Delta t

d = 3 * 10^8 * 0.1 = 3 * 10^7 meter

now as we know that

1 mile = 1609 meter

so the distance moved by light is

d = \frac{3 * 10^7}{1609} = 18645.12 miles

now for the comparision of this distance with diameter of earth

as we know that radius of earth is

R = 6.38 * 10^6 m

so the diameter of earth will be

d = 2R = 12.76 * 10^6 m

now the ratio of diameter with the distance that light move will be

\frac{distance}{diameter} = \frac{3 * 10^7}{12.76 * 10^6}

\frac{distance}{diameter} = 2.35

<em>so it is 2.35 times more than the diameter of earth</em>

If potential energy at point A is 12 joules, what is the potential energy at D?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

In D: 3J

Explanation:

Potential energy: Ep=mgh where m is the mass, h altitude.

In point A: h=20cm=0.2m

Epa=12=0.2×mg. Thus mg=12/0.2=60N

For point D: hd=5cm=0.05m

Epd=mg×0.05=60×0.05=3J
