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 happens to light when it travels from air into water
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Water is more dense than air. When water goes through a denser thing, the light is "bent" more towards the "normal" which is a straight, vertical line.

Which would have the longer orbital period: a moon 1 million km from the center of Jupiter, or a moon 1 million km from the cent
Harman [31]

Answer:

earth

Explanation:

The formula for the orbital period of the moon is given by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r}{g}}

As the time period is inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity of the planet.

As the value of acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is more than the earth, so the period of moon around the earth is large as compared to the period of the moon around the Jupiter when the distance is same.

A frog jumps for 4.0 seconds at a maximum horizontal distance of 0.8m. what is its velocity along the road?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The frog's horizontal velocity is 0.2 m/s.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must first remember what velocity is and how we solve for it.  Velocity can be solved for using the formula x/t, where x represents horizontal distance and t represents time (in seconds), that it takes to travel this distance.  If we plug in the given numbers for these variables and solve, we get the following:

v = x/t

v = 0.8m/4s

v = 0.2 m/s

Therefore, the correct answer is 0.2 m/s.  We can verify that these units are correct because the formula calls for distance divided by time, so meters per second is a sensible answer.

Hope this helps!

HELP ASAP! GIVING BRAINLIEST!!!<br><br> I need the answers to 1,2,3!!
artcher [175]

1) 72/4 = 18 years

2) 72/10 = 7.2 years

3) 72/13 = 5.54 years

Explanation: With the rule of 72, you simply take 72 and divide it by whatever the rate of return (or return on investment) is.

Let me know if you have any questions.
