Suppose a rocket ship in deep space moves with constant acceleration equal to 9.8 m/s2, which gives the illusion of normal gravi

ty during the flight. (a) If it starts from rest, how long will it take to acquire a speed one-tenth that of light, which travels at 3.0 × 108 m/s? (b) How far will it travel in so doing?

(a).
It starts from rest, and its speed increases by 9.8 m/s every second.
One tenth the speed of light is (1/10) (3 x 10⁸ m/s) = 3 x 10⁷ m/s .
To reach that speed takes (3 x 10⁷ m/s) / (9.8 m/s²) = <u>3,061,224 seconds</u> .
That's about 35 days and 10 hours.

(b).
Distance traveled = (average speed) x (time of travel)
Average speed = (1/2) of (1/10 the speed of light) = 1.5 x 10⁷ m/s .
Time of travel is the answer to part (a) above.
Distance traveled = (1.5 x 10⁷ m/s) x (3,061,224 sec) = <u>4.59 x 10¹³ meters</u>
That's 45.9 billion kilometers.
That's 28.5 billion miles.
That's about 6.2 times the farthest distance that Pluto ever gets from the Sun.

What is the element with the lowest electronegativity value?
Lerok [7]
<h2>Answer: Francium </h2>

Let's start by explaining that electronegativity is a term coined by Linus Pauling and is determined by the <em>ability of an atom of a certain element to attract electrons when chemically combined with another atom. </em>

So, the more electronegative an element is, the more electrons it will attract.

It should be noted that this value can not be measured directly by experiments, but it can be determined indirectly by means of calculations from other atomic or molecular properties of the element. That is why the scale created by Pauling is an arbitrary scale, where the maximum value of electronegativity is 4, assigned to Fluorine (F) and the <u>lowest is 0.7, assigned to Francium (Fr).</u>

a spring with a constant of 80N/m is stretched by a force of 240N. how much the displacement of the spring from equilibrium?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

1200N/m

Explanation:

given parameters:

force on the motorcycle spring is 240N

Extension 2cm or 0.02m

unknown _

spring constant:

:?

solution:

to a spring a force applied is given as :

f=ke

f is applied as force

k is spring constant

e is the Extension

240= kx0.02

k=1200N/m
