The correct unit for the speed of light is  [ m s⁻¹ ].

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (9.3 x 10^7 miles) x (1609 m/mile) / (3 x 10^8 m/s) = 498.8 seconds .

That would be  <em>8.31 minutes</em>.

Solve for the length of the inclined plane if the angle equals 19.45 degrees.
mel-nik [20]

The length of the inclined plane is approximately 12 ft

The situation forms a right angle triangle.

<h3>Right triangle</h3>

Right triangle have one of its angle as 90 degrees.

Therefore,

The length of the inclined plane is the hypotenuse of the triangle. The length of the inclined plane can be found using trigonometric ratios.

height = 4 ft

angle(∅) = 19.45°

sin 19.45 = 4 / h

h = 4 / 0.33298412235

h = 12.0125847796

h = 12 ft

Therefore, the length of the inclined plane is approximately 12 ft

An eccentric inventor attempts to levitate a cork ball by wrapping it with foil and placing a large negative charge on the ball
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

because of the idea that like charges get repulsion as a force.

Explanation:

because you wrap the ball with foil, the negative charges will leave the foil and go into the ball by induction. This leaves the foil as a positively charged particle since its electrons left it for the ball, making the ball a negatively charged particle. but if you bring the negative charge near the foil, the electrons will transfer from that and go into the foil, making it negatively charged. Now, because the ball and the foil have the same charge, they repel. the foil flies off.

What are the assumptions on which the cosmological principle is based?.
prisoha [69]
Homogeneity and isotropy, On large enough scales, the Universe looks pretty much the same in all directions. The big bang theory is based on two assumptions: the first is centered around Einstein's general theory of relativity, which accurately describes gravity and the interactions of matter; and the second, also known as the cosmological principle, asserts that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic on a large enough scale.

Hope this helps!

A student holds a bike wheel and starts it spinning with an initial angular speed of 9.0 rotations per second. The wheel is subj
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

\Delta t = 8 s

Explanation:

As we know that the angular acceleration of the wheel due to friction is constant

so we can use kinematics

\theta = \omega_i t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

so we have

(65 \times 2\pi) = (2\pi \times 9)(10) + \frac{1}{2}(\alpha)(10^2)

130\pi = 180\pi + 50 \alpha

\alpha = -\pi rad/s^2

now time required to completely stop the wheel is given as

\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t

0 = (2\pi \times 9) + (-\pi) t

t = 18 s

now time required to stop the wheel is given as

\Delta t = 18 - 10

\Delta t = 8 s
