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 will occur when the waves peak at the same place at the same time?
dedylja [7]
Hello!

This is a matter of superposition.
When the waves peak at the same time and place, they produce constructive interference, meaning the waves interact together in a positive way, to make a wave with Amplitude of both waves added together. When the peaks differ however, at the same time and place, then it is destructive interference and the waves essentially cancel each other out.

Hope this helps. Any questions please just ask. Thank you kindly.

All stars in a stellar cluster have roughly the same:___.
3241004551 [841]

All stars in a stellar cluster have roughly the same distance.

<h3>What coloration are celebrity clusters?</h3>

Open clusters have a tendency to be blue in color. They frequently include glowing gas and dust. The stars in an open cluster are young stars that all formed from the equal nebula. These warm blue stars are in an open cluster known as the Jewel Bo

<h3>Are stars in the identical cluster?</h3>

Though stellar associations are grouped in with megastar clusters, they're pretty a bit different. "Stellar associations are companies of tens to hundreds of stars that have similar a while and metallicities, and are moving in roughly the equal direction within the galaxy, but are no longer gravitationally bound," Geller said.

Compare the maximum rate of heat transfer to the basal metabolic rate by converting a bmr of 88 kcal/hr into watts. what is the
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Explanation :

It is given that,

BMR i.e basal metabolic rate is 88 kcal/hr. So, BMR in watts is converted by the following :

We know that, 1 kilocalorie = 4184 joules

So, 1\ kcal/h=\dfrac{1\times 4184\ J}{3600\ sec}

1\ kcal/h=1.16\ J/sec

J/sec is nothing but watts.

So, 1\ kcal/h=1.16\ watts

and 88\ kcal/h=88\times 1.16\ watts = 102.08\ watts

So, it can be seen that the body can accommodate a modes amount of activity in hot weather but strenuous activity would increase the metabolic rate above the body's ability to remove heat.

A puck of mass 0.110 kg slides across ice in the positive x-direction with a kinetic friction coefficient between the ice and pu
lara [203]

Answer:

a) Ffr = -0.18 N

b) a= -1.64 m/s2

c) t = 9.2 s

d) x = 68.7 m.

e) W= -12.4 J

f) Pavg = -1.35 W

g) Pinst = -0.72 W

Explanation:

a)

  • While the puck slides across ice, the only force acting in the horizontal direction, is the force of kinetic friction.
  • This force is the horizontal component of the contact force, and opposes to the relative movement between the puck and the ice surface, causing it to slow down until it finally comes to a complete stop.
  • So, this force can be written as follows, indicating with the (-) that opposes to the movement of the object.

       F_{frk} = -\mu_{k} * F_{n} (1)

       where μk is the kinetic friction coefficient, and Fn is the normal force.

  • Since the puck is not accelerated in the vertical direction, and there are only two forces acting on it vertically (the normal force Fn, upward, and  the weight Fg, downward), we conclude that both must be equal and opposite each other:

      F_{n} = F_{g} = m*g (2)

  • We can replace (2) in (1), and substituting μk by its value, to find the value of the kinetic friction force, as follows:

       F_{frk} = -\mu_{k} * F_{n} = -0.167*9.8m/s2*0.11kg = -0.18 N (3)

b)

  • According Newton's 2nd Law, the net force acting on the object is equal to its mass times the acceleration.
  • In this case, this net force is the friction force which we have already found in a).
  • Since mass is an scalar, the acceleration must have the same direction as the force, i.e., points to the left.
  • We can write the expression for a as follows:

        a= \frac{F_{frk}}{m} = \frac{-0.18N}{0.11kg} = -1.64 m/s2  (4)

c)

  • Applying the definition of acceleration, choosing t₀ =0, and that the puck comes to rest, so vf=0, we can write the following equation:

        a = \frac{-v_{o} }{t} (5)

  • Replacing by the values of v₀ = 15 m/s, and a = -1.64 m/s2, we can solve for t, as follows:

       t =\frac{-15m/s}{-1.64m/s2} = 9.2 s (6)

d)

  • From (1), (2), and (3) we can conclude that the friction force is constant, which it means that the acceleration is constant too.
  • So, we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the displacement before coming to rest:

        v_{f} ^{2} - v_{o} ^{2} = 2*a*\Delta x  (7)

  • Since the puck comes to a stop, vf =0.
  • Replacing in (7) the values of v₀ = 15 m/s, and a= -1.64 m/s2, we can solve for the displacement Δx, as follows:

       \Delta x  = \frac{-v_{o}^{2}}{2*a} =\frac{-(15.0m/s)^{2}}{2*(-1.64m/s2} = 68.7 m  (8)

e)

  • The total work done by the friction force on the object , can be obtained in several ways.
  • One of them is just applying the work-energy theorem, that says that the net work done on the object is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the same object.
  • Since the final kinetic energy is zero (the object stops), the total work done by friction (which is the only force that does work, because the weight and the normal force are perpendicular to the displacement) can be written as follows:

W_{frk} = \Delta K = K_{f} -K_{o} = 0 -\frac{1}{2}*m*v_{o}^{2} =-0.5*0.11*(15.0m/s)^{2}   = -12.4 J  (9)

f)

  • By definition, the average power is the rate of change of the energy delivered to an object (in J) with respect to time.
  • P_{Avg} = \frac{\Delta E}{\Delta t}  (10)
  • If we choose t₀=0, replacing (9) as ΔE, and (6) as Δt, and we can write the following equation:

       P_{Avg} = \frac{\Delta E}{\Delta t} = \frac{-12.4J}{9.2s} = -1.35 W (11)

g)

  • The instantaneous power can be deducted from (10) as W= F*Δx, so we can write P= F*(Δx/Δt) = F*v (dot product)
  • Since F is constant, the instantaneous power when v=4.0 m/s, can be written as follows:

       P_{inst} =- 0.18 N * 4.0m/s = -0.72 W (12)
