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>.

The Force on the left hand pole, F' = 0.167N

<h3>What is the force on the left hand pole?</h3>

Force is an agent which produces a change in the motion or state of an object.

Force is a vector quantity.

The general force is calculated as follows:

F = mg/sinθ

m = 17.1 g = 0.0171 kg

g = 9.81 m/s²

θ = 45°

F = 0.0171 * 9.81/sin45

F = 0.237 N

Force on the left hand pole, F' = Fcosθ

F' = 0.237 * cos 45

F' = 0.167N

In conclusion, the force on the left hand pole is the horizontal component of force.

Of the three types of radiation listed below, which is the least penetrating and which is the most penetrating? -alpha -beta -ga
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Alpha is the least penetrating radiation listed below.

Gamma is the most penetrating radiation in the given list.

These rays can be used to detect cancer, sterilizing the medical instrument, smoke detector, etc.

Radiation emitted from the radioactive elements also have very harmful. They affect the living being a lot. Waste from the nuclear reactor also contains harmful radiation which causes Land pollution if not disposed of properly.

The energy of a photon is proportional to its a) amplitude. d) wave number, k-2m/A c) velocity. b) frequency
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Frequency

Explanation:

Photons are the packet of energy. They are massless and chargeless particles. They travel in the vacuum with the speed of light. The energy of photon is given by :

E=h\nu

Where

h = Planck's constant

\nu = frequency of photon

Or E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

c = speed of light

\lambda = wavelength of photon

From the above equation, it is clear that the energy of photon is directly proportional to its frequency.

What would the weight of an astronaut be on Saturn if his mass is 68 kg and acceleration of gravity on Saturn is 10.44 m/s2? Ple
alex41 [277]

Here's the part you need to know:

       (Weight of anything) =

                 (the thing's mass)
times
                 (acceleration of gravity in the place where the thing is) .

                 Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

That's always true everywhere.
You should memorize it.

For the astronaut on Saturn . . .

                   Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

                
  Weight =  (68 kg) x (10.44 m/s²)

                        
      =    709.92 newtons .
__________________________________

On Earth, gravity is only  9.8 m/s².
So as long as the astronaut is on Earth, his weight is only

                                   (68 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                               =    666.4 newtons .

Notice that his mass is his mass ... it doesn't change
no matter where he goes. 

But his weight changes in different places, because
it depends on the gravity in each place.

A mountain-climber friend with a mass of 74 kg ponders the idea of attaching a helium-filled balloon to himself to effectively r
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

V=16.65 m^3

Explanation:

The volume of the balloon can be find compared the force in each cases so:

reduce 25% from 74kg

R=\frac{25}{100}*74kg=18.5kg

So the net force uproad on the balloon is

F_b=18.5kg*g

Now the density of the both gases air and helium are different however the volume is the same change offcorss the mass so:

P_h=\frac{m}{V}=0.179 kg/m^3

P_A=1.29 kg/m^3

F_b=F_A-F_H

F_b=m_a*g-m_h*g

m=P/V

18.5kg*g=(1.29kg/m^3-0.179kg/m^3*)V*g

V=\frac{18.5kg}{(1.29-0.179)kg/m^3}

V=16.65 m^3
