A "light year" is not an amount of time. 

It's an amount of distance ... the distance that light travels
through space in one year.

1 light year  =  5,878,625,372,000 miles
                     (rounded to the nearest thousand miles)

1 light-year  =  9,460,730,473,000 kilometers 
                     (rounded to the nearest thousand kilometers)

A 6- F capacitor is charged to 90 V and is then connected across a 700- resistor. What is the initial charge on the capacitor
Lorico [155]

Answer:

540C.

Explanation:

A capacitor of capacitance C when charged to a voltage of V will have a charge Q given as follows;

Q = CV          ----------(i)

From the question, the initial charge on the capacitor is the charge on it before it was connected to the resistor. In other words, the initial charge on the capacitor will have a maximum value which can be calculated using equation (i) above.

Where;

C = 6F

V = 90V

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

Q = 6 x 90

Q = 540 C

Therefore, the initial charge on the capacitor is 540C.

A man holding a rock sits on a sled that is sliding across a frozen lake (negligible friction) with a speed of 0.550 m/s. The to
Arisa [49]

Answer: 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Speed of the sled, v = 0.55 m/s

Total mass, m = 96.5 kg

Mass of the rock, m1 = 0.3 kg

Speed of the rock, v1 = 17.5 m/s

To solve this, we would use the law of conservation of momentum

Momentum before throwing the rock: m*V = 96.5 kg * 0.550 m/s = 53.08 Ns

When the man throws the rock forward

rock:

m1 = 0.300 kg

V1 = 17.5 m/s, in the same direction of the sled with the man

m2 = 96.5 kg - 0.300 kg = 96.2 kg

v2 = ?

Law of conservation of momentum states that the momentum is equal before and after the throw.

momentum before throw = momentum after throw

53.08 = 0.300 * 17.5 + 96.2 * v2

53.08 = 5.25 + 96.2 * v2

v2 = [53.08 - 5.25 ] / 96.2

v2 = 47.83 / 96.2

v2 = 0.497 ~= 0.50 m/s

50POINTS! Find the orbital speed of a satellite in a circular orbit 1700km above the surface of the Earth. M_earth 5.97e24kg, r_
ivolga24 [154]
<h2>Answer: 7020.117 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is<u> constant</u> and defined by the following expression:  

V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}} (1)  

Where:  

G=6.674({10}^{-11})\frac{N{m}^{2}}{{kg}^{2}} is the gravity constant

M_{Earth}=5.97{10}^{24}kg the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting, in this case, the Earth .

R=r_{Earth}+h=8080000m the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).  

This means the radius of the orbit is equal to <u>the sum</u> of the average radius of the Earth r_{Earth} and the altitude of the satellite above the Earth's surface h.

Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. It depends on the mass of the massive body (the Earth).

Now, rewriting equation (1) with the known values:

V=\sqrt{(6.674({10}^{-11})\frac{N{m}^{2}}{{kg}^{2}})\frac{5.97{10}^{24}kg}{8080000m}}

V=7020.117\frac{m}{s}
