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]4 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

An electron moving in the direction of the +x-axis enters a magnetic field. If the electron experiences a magnetic deflection in
algol13

Answer:

- z axis

Explanation:

The magnetic force is perpendicular to its speed and the direction of the magnetic field, its equation being

      F = q v x B

Where the bold indicates vectors, q  is a positive charge,

The way to use this equation is with the rule of the right hand, the thumb points in the direction of the velocity, the other fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field and the palm is the direction of the force for a positive charge.

Let's apply this to our case the speed is on the x axis and the force in ex. negative Y axis, the other fingers point perpendicular to the sheet, but since the charge is negative the magnetic field enters the sheet, this would be the negative z axis

A 2.1 cm length of tungsten filament in a small lightbulb has a resistance of 0.067 ω. find its diameter. the resistivity of the
kkurt [141]
The resistance of an ohmic material is given by 
R= \frac{ \rho l}{a}
where l is the length and a is the cross sectional area.  For a circular wire, this area is that of a circle:
R=  \frac{\rho l}{ {d^2} } \frac{4}{\pi}=\frac{5.6\times10^-8 \times0.021m\times4}{\pi d^2}   = \frac{1.497\times 10^-9}{d^2}
Then solving for diameter, d:
d^2=\frac{1.497\times 10^-9}{0.067}=2.235\times10^-8
d=0.1495mm

At t = 0, one toy car is set rolling on a straight track with initial position 13.5 cm, initial velocity -4.2 cm/s, and constant
Blizzard [7]
(a) We must first look at the formulas of the velocities of each toy car. v1 =
-4.2 + 2.60t. v2 = 5.20. When the two cars have equal speed, then 
v1 = v2
-4.2 + 2.60t = 5.20
2.60t = 9.40
t = 3.62 s

(b) Their speed would then be 5.20 m/s. The toy car does not change speed since it doest not have any acceleration.
(c) The two cars will pass each other when their positions are equal.
x1 = 13.5 - 4.2t + 0.5*2.60t^2
x2 = 8.5 + 5.20t
x1 = x2
13.5 - 4.2t + 1.30t^2 = 8.5 + 5.20t
1.30t^2 - 9.40t + 5.0 = 0
t = 6.65s or t = 0.58 s

Describe how asteroids meteors and cometsmove around the solar system
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

While traveling through space, asteroids sometimes collide with each other and break up into smaller fragments. Comets shed dust as they roam the solar system. These 'break ups' result in numerous small particles and fragments, called meteoroids, which orbit the sun. ... Thus a meteor, or shooting star, is formed.
