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 kicker now kicks the ball with the same speed as in the number of 4,but at 60.0°from the horizontal or 30.0° from the vertic
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

i) 0.7

ii) 1.39

iii) 0.6

Next time, when compiling a Physics question, ensure you put the unit of each measurement.

Explanation:

i) T = time of flight =   \frac{2uSin(A)}{g}

where u = speed = 4, A = 60 and  g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 (It is a constant);

Subsituting the values, we have: T = \frac{2(4)Sin(60)}{10} = 0.7

ii) distance travel = Range =  R = \frac{u^{2}Sin(2A) }{g}

where u = speed = 4, A = 60 and  g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 (It is a constant);

Subsituting values, we have: R = \frac{4^{2}Sin(2*60) }{10} = 1.39

iii) Maximum Height = H = \frac{u^{2}(Sin(A))^{2}  }{2g}

where u = speed = 4, A = 60 and  g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 (It is a constant);

Subsituting values, we have: \frac{4^{2}(Sin60)^{2}  }{2*10} = 0.6

A 1369.4 kg car is traveling at 28.9 m/s when the driver takes his foot off the gas pedal. It takes 5.1 s for the car to slow do
Darya [45]

Answer:

F = 2389.603 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass m = 1,369.4 kg

Initial velocity u = 28.9 m/s

Final velocity v = 20 m/s

Time t = 5.1 s

Find:

Net force

Computation:

a = (v - u)/t

a = (20 - 28.9)/5.1

a = -1.745 m/s²

F = ma

F = (1369.4)(1.745)

F = 2389.603 N

A square loop of side 7 cm is placed with the nearest side 2 cm from a long wire carrying a current that varies with time at a c
ioda

Answer:

Explanation:

side of the square loop, a = 7 cm

distance of the nearest side from long wire, r = 2 cm = 0.02 m

di/dt = 9 A/s

Integrate on both the sides

\int _{0}^{i}di =9\int _{0}^{t}dt

i = 9t

(a) The magnetic field due to the current carrying wire at a distance r is given by

B = \frac{\mu_{0}i}{2\pi r}

B = \frac{\mu_{0}\times 9t}{2\pi r}

(b)

Magnetic flux,

\phi=\int B\times a dr

\phi=\int \frac{\mu_{0}\times 9t}{2\pi r}\times a dr

\phi=\frac{\mu_{0}\times 9t\times a}{2\pi}\times ln\left ( \frac{2 + 7}{2} \right )

\phi=\frac{\mu_{0}\times 9t\times 0.07}{2\pi}\times ln(4.5)

\phi = 1.89 \times 10^{-7}t

(c)

R = 3 ohm

e = -\frac{d\phi}{dt}

magnitude of voltage is

e = 1.89 x 10^-7 V

induced current, i = e / R = (1.89 x 10^-7) / 3

i = 6.3 x 10^-8 A
