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 roller coaster car is going over the top of a 18-mm-radius circular rise. At the top of the hill, the passengers "feel light,"
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

0.29713 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v = Velocity

r = Radius = 18 mm

By balancing the forces in the system we have

mg-N=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow mg-\dfrac{mg}{2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{r(g-\dfrac{g}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{0.018\times (9.81-\dfrac{9.81}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=0.29713\ m/s

The velocity of the coaster is 0.29713 m/s

A 5c charge experiences a force of 40n when put at a certain location in space. What is the electric field at that location?
stepladder [879]
The 'strength' of the electric field is the force on 1C of charge at that point.

At this 'certain location', the field is 40/5 = 8 newtons per coulomb = <u>8 volts</u>

What does basketballs have inside of it
FrozenT [24]
Hi there!

Great question!

Basketballs have air inside them. A special pump is used to insert the air. That's why you can lift the basketballs off the ground easily. If it was a solid, though, you'd hardly be able to lift the ball up! Basketballs can float, too, because anything with air inside can float. If it were solid, it would sink in the water easily.

Hope this helps! :D
