Answer:

s = 3.84 x 10⁸ m

Explanation:

The distance traveled by an object, while in uniform motion, is given by the following equation:

s = vt

where,

s = distance covered

v = speed

t = time interval

In this case:

s = distance between Moon and Earth = ?

v = speed of radio waves = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

t = time taken to travel = 1.28 s

Therefore,

s = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)(1.28 s)

<u>s = 3.84 x 10⁸ m</u>

The total charge a battery can supply is rated in mA⋅h , the product of the current (in mA ) and the time (in h ) that the batte
natita [175]

Answer: 0.2  hours

Explanation: In order to solve this question we have to considerer that a recargeable battery can supply 1800 mA  in one hour then we have to determine how long could this battery drive current through a long, thin wire of resistance 34 Ω .

Besides, this battery has a voltage of 12 V

so by using the Ohm law we also know that V=R*I,

Fron this we can obtain:

I= V/R= 12 V/ 34 Ω=0.35 A= 350 mA

then considering that this battery can supply 1800 mA in one hour we have this battery can supply 350 mA  in x time in the form:

1hour------- 1800 mA

x hour--------350 mA

time= 350/1800= 0.2 hour

A bungee cord is 30m long and when stretched a distance x itexerts a restoring force of magnitude kx. Your father-in-law (mass95
madam [21]

Answer:

The distance the bungee cord that would be stretched 0.602 m, should be selected when pulled by a force of 380 N.

Explanation:

As from the given data

the length of the rope is given as l=30 m

the stretched length is given as l'=41m

the stretched length required is give as  y=l'-l=41-30=11m

the mass is m=95 kg

the  force is  F=380 N

the gravitational acceleration is g=9.8 m/s2

The equation of  k is given by equating the energy at the equilibrium point which is given as

U_{potential}=U_{elastic}\\mgh=\dfrac{1}{2} k y^2\\k=\dfrac{2mgh}{y^2}

Here

m=95 kg, g=9.8 m/s2, h=41 m, y=11 m so

k=\dfrac{2mgh}{y^2}\\k=\dfrac{2\times 95\times 9.8\times 41}{11^2}\\k=630.92 N/m

Now the force is

F=kx\\ or

x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\

So here F=380 N, k=630.92 N/m

x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\x=\dfrac{380}{630.92}\\x=0.602 m

So the distance is 0.602 m

Explain how an object moving at a constant speed can have a nonzero acceleration
SOVA2 [1]
Its very simple if a body is moving in circle the magnitude of its velocity remain constant  but its direction changes because velocity is directed towards tangent and at every point in a cirlce its direction will be different (along tangent) so velocity is not uniform .As acceleration is the rate  change of velocity  so it will be non zero because velocity is changing due to its direction.
