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."

The weight of a metal bracelet is measured to be 0.100 N in air and 0.092 N when immersed in water. Find its density
max2010maxim [7]
If you subtract the two weights, 0.100 N and 0.092 N, we will get 0.008. So, the density between 0.100 and 0.092 is 0.008. :)

Answer: 0.008

8 m N &amp; 5 m 30° N of E<br><br> Draw and add the vectors.
Contact [7]

by vector addition.

The so-called parallelogram law lays forth the guidelines for adding two or more vectors together. By aligning the two vectors A and B head to tail and drawing the vector from the free tail to the free head, the vector sum A+B is created. If A=(a 1,a 2,...,a n) and B=(b 1,b 2,...,b n), then vector addition can be done in Cartesian coordinates by adding the respective components of the vectors.

A+B=(a 1+b 1,a 2+b 2,...,a n+b n).

The Wolfram Language uses a plus symbol to denote vector addition, as in a1, a2,..., an+b1, b2,..., bn

A baseball has a mass of 145 g. a bat exerts a force of 18,400 n on the ball. what is the acceleration of the ball? 1.27 x 102 m
fomenos

The acceleration of the ball is 1.27 X 10⁵ m/s²

The Newtons second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.

Given,

Mass = 145 kg

Force = 18,400 N

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of acceleration(a)

a = F/m  where F= force and m= mass

Put the values in the formula,

 a = 18,400/(145 X 10⁻³) = 1.27 X 10⁵ m/s²

Therefor, the acceleration of the ball is 1.27 X 10⁵ m/s².

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

4m/s2

Explanation:

acceleration=v-u/t...v=12m/s,u=0m/s,t=3sec

a=12-0/3

=4m/s2

If you push a crate across a factory floor at constant speed in a constant direction, what is the magnitude of the force of fric
poizon [28]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push

Explanation:

Since the crate moves at a constant speed, there is no net acceleration and thus, my push is balanced by the frictional force on the crate. So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.

Let F = push and f = frictional force and f' = net force

F - f = f' since the crate moves at constant speed, acceleration is zero and thus f' = ma = m (0) = 0

So, F - f = 0

Thus, F = f

So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.
