Answer:

The answer is 3597501.48 km

Explanation:

The speed of light is 299792 km/s.

The speed of sound is 0.343 km/s

The difference is 299791.76 km/s

and of there is 12 second difference between sound and the light. The distance will be:

299791.76*12=3597501.48

A 98.0 N grocery cart is pushed 12.0 m along an aisle by a shopper who exerts a constant horizontal force of 40.0 N. If all fric
Digiron [165]

Answer:

9.8 m/s

Explanation:

The work done by the force pushing the cart is equal to the kinetic energy gained by the cart:

W=K_f -K_i

where

W is the work done

K_f is the final kinetic energy of the cart

K_i is the initial kinetic energy of the cart, which is zero because the cart starts from rest, so we can write:

W=K_f

But the work is equal to the product between the pushing force F and the displacement, so

W=Fd=(40.0 N)(12.0 m)=480 J

So, the final kinetic energy of the cart is 480 J. The formula for the kinetic energy is

K_f=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 (1)

where m is the mass of the cart and v its final speed.

We can find the mass because we know the weight of the cart, 98.0 N:

m=\frac{F_g}{g}=\frac{98.0 N}{9.8 m/s^2}=10 kg

Therefore, we can now re-arrange eq.(1) to find the final speed of the cart:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(480 J)}{10 kg}}=9.8 m/s

Answer:

$1.26

Explanation:

Power =energy/ time

energy =powerxtime

energy =50x31x24=37200

=37.2kwh

1kwh =3.39

37.2kwh=3.39x37.2=126.108cent

=$1.26

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:  ratio = 3.14 × 10³⁵

Explanation:

From Newtons law of Universal Gravitation;

Every object in the universe is attracted to every other object

F = (Gm₁m₂)/r²

G = 6.67 X 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²

M₁= mass of one object

M₂= mass of second object

r = distance from center of objects

q = charge = 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹C.

  • Calculating the gravitational force;

Fg = (Gm₁m₂)/r² = (Gm²)/r²

which is = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ × (6.64×10⁻²⁷)²) / r²

= (2.94 × 10⁻⁶³) / r²

  • Calculating the electric force;

Fe = (Kq₁q₂) / r² = K q² / r² = (9×10⁹ × (3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹)² / r²

Fe = 9.22 × 10⁻²⁸ / r²

comparing the ratio of both forces we have;

Fe/Fg = (9.22×10⁻²⁸/r²) ÷ (2.94×10⁻⁶³/r²)

r² cancels from the above expression, which gives;

ratio as 3.14 × 10³⁵
