Answer:
2.91 x 10¹² sec
Explanation:
d = distance of nearest star, Proxima Centauri = 4.3 ly = 4.3 x 9.46 x 10¹⁵ m
v = speed of new horizon probe = 14 km/hr = 14000 m/s
t = time taken for the new horizon probe to reach nearest star, Proxima Centauri = ?
Using the equation
d = v t
Inserting the values given
4.3 x 9.46 x 10¹⁵ = (14000) t
t = 2.91 x 10¹² sec
False. because the object cannot freefall due to resistance, so it cannot develop full acceleration.
Fist one is a cylinder
the second, i believe is a sphere
the third is a rectangular prism
and the last is the same as the first, a cylinder
A) 1.55
The speed of light in a medium is given by:
where
is the speed of light in a vacuum
n is the refractive index of the material
In this problem, the speed of light in quartz is
So we can re-arrange the previous formula to find n, the index of refraction of quartz:
B) 550.3 nm
The relationship between the wavelength of the light in air and in quartz is
where
is the wavelenght in quartz
is the wavelength in air
n is the refractive index
For the light in this problem, we have
Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find , the wavelength in air:
Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The force of gravity acting on an object helps in determining the weight of an object. But a place where there will be no gravity or have zero gravitational pull then it means the person will be weightless.
For example, force of gravity on moon is zero which means any object or person on moon will be weightless.
On the other hand, when a child is in the air as she plays on a trampoline then it means gravitational pull form the earth is acting on it. So, it will definitely has some weight.
Similarly, a scuba diver exploring a deep-sea wreck is under the ground where there will be force of gravity. Hence, it will also have some weight.
Thus, we can conclude that an astronaut on the Moon is the person who is weightless.
