Answer:

v = 3×10^8 m/s

s= 384,400 km= 3.84×10^8 m/s

t = ?

v = s/t = 2s/t

t = 2s/v

t = (2×3.84×10^8) ÷ 3×10^8

t = 2.56 seconds

Explanation:

Earth's moon is the brightest object in our

night sky and the closest celestial body. Its

presence and proximity play a huge role in

making life possible here on Earth. The moon's gravitational pull stabilizes Earth's wobble on its axis, leading to a stable climate.

The moon's orbit around Earth is elliptical. At perigee — its closest approach — the moon comes as close as 225,623 miles (363,104 kilometers). At apogee — the farthest away it gets — the moon is 252,088 miles (405,696

km) from Earth. On average, the distance fromEarth to the moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 km). According to NASA , "That means 30 Earth-sized planets could fit in between Earth and the moon."

A 1000 kg car moving a 10 m/s collides with a stationary 2000 kg truck. The two vehicles interlock as a result of the collision.
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

v₃ = 3.33 [m/s]

Explanation:

This problem can be easily solved using the principle of linear momentum conservation. Which tells us that momentum is preserved before and after the collision.

In this way, we can propose the following equation in which everything that happens before the collision will be located to the left of the equal sign and on the right the moment after the collision.

(m_{1}*v_{1})+(m_{2}*v_{2})=(m_{1}+m_{2})*v_{3}

where:

m₁ = mass of the car = 1000 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of the car = 10 [m/s]

m₂ = mass of the truck = 2000 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of the truck = 0 (stationary)

v₃ = velocity of the two vehicles after the collision [m/s].

Now replacing:

(1000*10)+(2000*0)=(1000+2000)*v_{3}\\v_{3}=3.33[m/s]

The engine of a 2000 kg Mercedes going up Pike’s Peak delivers energy to its drive wheel at the rate 100 kW . Neglecting air res
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

given,

Mass of Mercedes engine = 2000 Kg

Power delivered = 100 kW

angle made with horizontal = 30°

acceleration due to gravity =  10 m/s²

largest speed car can sustain = ?

we know,

Power = Force x velocity

P = F x v

P = mg sinθ x v

P = mg sin 30° x v

P = 0.5 mg  x v

v = \dfrac{100 \times 10^3}{0.5\times 2000 \times 10}

v = 10 m/s

hence, the maximum velocity is equal to v = 10 m/s

One hundred turns of insulated copper wire are wrapped into a circular coil of crosssectional area 1.20⇥103 m2. The two ends of
arsen [322]

Answer:

236.3  x 10^-^3 C

Explanation:

Given:

B(0)=1.60T and B(t)=-1.60T

No. of turns 'N' =100

cross-sectional area 'A'= 1.2 x 10^-^3m²

Resistance 'R'= 1.3Ω

According to Faraday's law, the induced emf is given by,

ℰ=-NdΦ/dt

The current given by resistance and induced emf as

I = ℰ/R

I= -NdΦ/dtR

By converting the current to differential form(the time derivative of charge), we get

\frac{dq}{dt}=  -NdΦ/dtR

dq= -N dΦ/R

The change in the flux dФ =Ф(t)-Ф(0)

therefore, dq = \frac{N}{R} (Ф(0)-Ф(t))

Also, flux is equal to the magnetic field multiplied with the area of the coil

dq = NA(B(0)-B(t))/R

dq= (100)(1.2 x 10^-^3)(1.6+1.6)/1.3

dq= 236.3  x 10^-^3 C

Suppose the carts collided on a surface that had a slight incline to it. Would you expect the momentum to be conserved
lesantik [10]

Momentum is conserved when carts are collided on a slanting plane.

To find the answer, we need to know about the conversation of momentum.

<h3>What's the conversation of momentum?</h3>
  • Conservation of linear momentum says the total momentum before the collision and after the collision remains the same.
  • Mathematically, m1u1+m2u2 = m1v1+m2v2
<h3>How is the momentum conserved when collision occurs on a slanting plane?</h3>
  • On a slanting plane, the velocity has two components,
  1. horizontal component
  2. horizontal component Vertical component
  • So, its momentum has also similar two components.
  • The momentum is conserved along horizontal direction and vertical direction separately.

Thus, we can conclude that the momentum is conserved when carts are collided on a slanting plane.
