How many minutes would it take a light wave to travel from the planet Venus to Earth? (Average distance from Venus to Earth = 28

million miles).

Gnesinka [82]3 years ago

Answer:

t=2.51min

Explanation:

The time taken by the light to travel a given distance is defined as:

t=\frac{d}{c}

Here c is obviously the speed of light. Now we convert the average distance form Venus to Earth to meters:

28*10^{6}mi*\frac{1609.34}{1mi}=4.51*10^{10}m

Finally, we calculate the minutes taken by the light to travel from Venus to Earth:

t=\frac{4.51*10^{10}m}{3*10^8\frac{m}{s}}\\t=150.33s*\frac{1min}{60s}=2.51min

What happens to heat energy after an object is cooled down lolololol asking for my bff
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Heat energy does not cool. Objects cool. Energy is not an object. Now, what happens when an object cools is that it gives off some of its thermal energy by one or more mechanisms: radiation, conduction, or convection. In radiation the energy escaped the object as electromagnetic waves - you see the red hot poker slowly dim as it cools, in conduction the energy is transferred Mechanically by the atoms of the hot object being in physical contact with those of the cool object and in convection the hot material moves to a cooler region where it gives up its heat energy by either radiation or conduction.

In order for gravitational potential energy to be stored, there must be _____.
trasher [3.6K]

Answer: 1

an object positioned at some height in a gravitational field

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy stored due to position of the object or position at certain height relative to zero position.

Gravitational potential energy can also be expressed as object position at some height above or below zero position in a gravitational field

What is the value of sin r and sin i in physics​
taurus [48]

Answer:

★The second law of refraction

The ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is a constant for a light of given colour and for a given pair of media. This law is also called Snell's law of refraction. If 'i' is the angle of incidence and 'r' is the angle of refraction then, Sin i/Sin r = constant

This constant value is called the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first.

4. I drop a pufferfish of mass 5 kg from a height of 5.5 m onto an upright spring of total length 0.5 m and spring constant 3000
KatRina [158]

Answer:

a)  0.28 m or 28 cm is the minimum  height above ground the fish reaches.

b)  at the height of 0.484 m height , the pufferfish will eventually come to rest.

c) There exists  two types of energy remain at the equilibrium point in the system. These are :

Gravitational potential energy  = 23.72J

Spring potential energy   = 0.384 J

Explanation:

Given that :

Mass of the pufferfish m =5kg

initial height of the fish h =5.5m

length of the spring l =0.5m

Spring constant K =3000N/m

a)

Assuming no energy loss to friction, what is the minimum height above the ground that the pufferfish reaches?

Lets assume that the minimum height the fish reaches is = x meters

Now by using the conservation of energy; we realize that :

Initial total energy = final total energy

Gravitational potential energy =

Gravitational potential energy' + Spring potential energy (kinetic energy is zero in both cases)

mgh = mgx + \frac{1}{2}K(l-x)^2

Replacing our given values into the above equation; we have :

(5)(9.8)(5.5) = (5)(9.5)(x) + \frac{1}{2}(3000)(0.5-x)^2

269.5 = 47.5 x + 1500(0.5 -x )²

269.5 = 47.5 x + 1500(0.25 - x²)

269.5 = 47.5 x + 375 - 1500 x²

269.5 - 375 = 47.5 x - 1500 x²

-105.5 = 47.5 x - 1500 x²

-105.5 + 1500 x² - 47.5 x = 0

1500 x² - 47.5 x - 105.5 = 0

By using quadratic equation and taking the positive value;

x = 0.28 m or 28 cm is the minimum height above ground the fish reaches.

b)

At the equilibrium position the weight of fish will be equal to the force applied by the spring thus

mg = kx

substituting  our given values ; we have:

(5)(9.8) = 3000x

x = 61.22

x = 0.016m  : so this is the compression in the spring

Now; to determine the height  the pufferfish gets to before  it eventually come to rest; we have

(0.5-0.016) m = 0.484m

therefore, at the height of 0.484 m height , the pufferfish will eventually come to rest.

c)

There exists  two types of energy remain at the equilibrium point in the system. These are :

Gravitational potential energy  = mgh' = (5)(9.8)(0.484)

= 23.72J

and spring potential energy  

=\frac{1}{2}Kx^2\\ = \frac{1}{2}(3000)(0.016)^2\\= 0.384J
