How long does it take for the speed of light and sound to travel around the world

Physics
1 answer:
irina [24]3 years ago
6 0

-- Light travels straight, not around in a circle. But if it did, it would cover
a distance equal to the length of the equator in about <em>0.13 second</em>.

-- At the speed of sound (in air at standard temperature and pressure),
it would take about <em>32.6 hours </em>to cover the same distance.

A 1400 kg wrecking ball hangs from a 20-m-long cable. the ball is pulled back until the cable makes an angle of 30.0 ∘ with the
anastassius [24]

From the geometry of the problem, the 20 m-long cable creates the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the extended of the other two sides of size 20 m * cos(30 deg), which is around 17.3 m. Therefore, the ball has increased by 20 m - 17.3 m = 2.7 m. 

The potential energy will have altered by m*g*h, which is 1400 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1.6 m , or about 37044 joules.

A curve in a stretch of highway has radius R. The road is not banked in any way. The coefficient of static friction between the
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

maximum possible velocity = \sqrt{ugR}

Explanation:

centripetal acceleration when the  car is going in the circle must be less than the maximum friction for the car to not slip.

centripetal acceleration \frac{mv^{2}}{r}

where v is the velocity of car and r is the radius of circle

maximum friction = umg

where u is the coefficient of static friction.

thereforeumg\geq \frac{mv^{2}}{R}

therefore maximum possible velocity = \sqrt{ugR}
