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

A boy throws a snowball straight up in the air with an initial speed of 4.50 ft/s from a position 4.00 ft above the ground. The
IgorC [24]

Answer:

a) 0.658 seconds

b) 0.96 inches

Explanation:

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=4.5-32.1\times t\\\Rightarrow \frac{-4.5}{-32.1}=t\\\Rightarrow t=0.14 \s

Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 0.14 seconds

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=4.5\times 0.14+\frac{1}{2}\times -32.1\times 0.14^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.315\ ft

The highest point reached by the snowball above its release point is 0.315 ft

Total height the snowball will fall is 4+0.315 = 4.315 ft

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 4.315=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 32.1\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{4.315\times 2}{32.1}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.518\ s

The snowball will reach the bank at 0.14+0.518 = 0.658 seconds after it has been thrown

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+32.1\times 0.518\\\Rightarrow v=16.62\ ft/s

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-16.62^2}{2\times -100\times 3.28}\\\Rightarrow s=0.42\ ft

The snowball goes 0.5-0.42 = 0.08 ft = 0.96 inches
