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>.

A pingpong ball has 2 kg m/s of momentum when thrown 8 m/s find the mass of the ball
avanturin [10]

Answer:

0.25 kg

Explanation:

p = mv

2 = m(8)

2/8 = m(8)/8 *cancels

m = 1/4 OR 0.25 kg

To a good approximate, the only external force that does work on a cyclist moving on level ground is the force of air resistance
mart [117]

Answer:

a. 120 W

b. 28.8 N

Explanation:

To a good approximate, the only external force that does work on a cyclist moving on level ground is the force of air resistance. Suppose a cyclist is traveling at 15 km/h on level ground. Assume he is using 480 W of metabolic power.

a. Estimate the amount of power he uses for forward motion.

b. How much force must he exert to overcome the force of air resistance?

(a) He is 25% efficient, therefore the cyclist will be expending 25% of his power to drive the bicycle forward

Power = efficiency X metabolic power

= 0.25 X 480

= 120 W

(b)

power if force times the velocity

P = Fv

convert  15 km/h to m/s

v = 15 kmph = 4.166 m/s

F = P/v

= 120/4.166

= 28.8 N

definition of terms

power is the rate at which work is done

force is that which changes a body's state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line

velocity is the change in displacement per unit time.

An N-slit system has slit separation d and slit width a. Plane waves with intensity I and wavelength O are incident normally on
Leokris [45]

Answer:

E. d and O

Explanation:

"Light passing through a single slit forms a diffraction pattern somewhat different from those formed by double slits or diffraction gratings".

According to Huygens’s principle, "for each element of the wavefront in the slit emits wavelets. These are like rays that start out in phase and head in all directions. (Each ray is perpendicular to the wavefront of a wavelet.) Assuming the screen is very far away compared with the size of the slit, rays heading toward a common destination are nearly parallel".

The destructive interference for a single slit is given by:

d sin \theta = m\lambda , m=1,-1,2,-2,3,...

Where

d is the slit width

\lambda=O is the light's wavelength

\theta is the angle relative to the original direction of the light

m is the order od the minimum

I represent the intensity

When the intensity and the wavelength are incident normally the angular as we can see on the expression above the angular separation just depends of the distance d and the wavelength O.

Which term describes the time it takes for an object to complete one full cycle of motion on a spring?
Sav [38]

The term period (symbol: T) describes the time it takes for an object to complete one full cycle of motion on a spring.

The formula for time is: T  = 1 / f , where f is the frequency  , f= c / λ = wave speed c (m/s) / wavelength λ (m)..

The formula describes that as the frequency of a wave increases, the time period of the wave decreases.

The rectangular boat shown below has base dimensions 10.0 cm × 8.0 cm. Each cube has a mass of 40 g, and the liquid in the tank
Paladinen [302]

When boat is sunk into the liquid the net buoyancy on the boat is counterbalanced by weight of the boat

So here weight of the boat = Buoyancy force

let say boat is sunk by distance "h"

now we can say

F_b = \rho * V * g

F_b = 1000*0.10 * 0.08 * h * 9.8

now by above force balance equation we can write

m*g = F_b

0.040 * 9.8 = 1000 * 0.10 * 0.08 * h * 9.8

0.040 = 8h

h = 5 * 10^{-3} m

so boat will sunk by total 5 mm distance
