Answer:

It takes about 3 days for a spacecraft to reach the Moon. The specific distance depends on the specific path chosen.

That completely depends on your speed and the trajectory (path) you choose.

The Apollo missions took about 3 days each way.

The New Horizons spacecraft passed the moon within a couple of hours after it was launched.

Platinum has a density of 21.4 g/cm3. if thieves were to steal platinum from a bank using a small truck with a maximum payload o

slega [8]

We will convert the 1dm3 in terms of cm3 as follows:

1dm^3 = (10 cm)^3
= 1000 cm^3

The mass of platinum is equal to 900 lb.
Then we will convert the mass in terms of grams as follows:
1 lb = 453.6 g
900 = 900 x 453.6 g
= 408240 g

Then density of platinum is equal to 21.4 g/cm^3
We will calculate the volume of platinum in mass 408240 g as follows:
Volume of platinum = mass of platinum / density of platinum
= 408240 g / 21.4 g/cm^3
= 19076.6 cm^3

The total volume of platinum is 19076.6 cm^3
The volume of platinum in 1 L bar is 1000cm^3
So, to calculate the number of bars we will use the formula as follows;
Number of bars = volume of platinum available / volume of platinum required in 1 L bar
= 19076.6 cm^3 / 1000 cm^3
= 19
So, the number of bars are 19.

local AM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 685.9 kHz. Calculate the wavelength at which they are broadcasting. Waveleng

natta225 [31]

Answer:

λ = 437 m.

Explanation:

Since a radio wave is a electromagnetic type of wave, it propagates approximately at the same speed of light in vacuum, 3*10⁸ m/s.
As in any wave, there exist a fixed relationship between the propagation speed, the wavelength and the frequency of the radio wave, as follows:

$c = \lambda* f (1)$

Replacing by the values of the speed and the frequency, and solving for the wavelength λ, we get:

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f} =\frac{3e8 m/s}{685.9e31/s} =437 m (2)$

An object is originally moving at a constant velocity of 8 m/s in the -x direction. It moves at this constant velocity for 3 sec

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

244.64m

Explanation:

First, we find the distance traveled with constant velocity. It's simply multiplying velocity time the time that elapsed:

$x = V*t = -8\frac{m}{s} *3s = -24m$

After this, the ball will start traveling with a constant acceleration motion. Due to the fact that the acceleration is the opposite direction to the initial velocity, this motion will have 2 phases:

1. The velocity will start to decrease untill it reaches 0m/s.

2. Then, the velocity will start to increase at the rate of the acceleration.

The distance that the ball travels in the first phase can be found with the following expression:

$v^2 = v_0^2 + 2a*d$

Where v is the final velocity (0m/s), v_0 is the initial velocity (-8m/s) and a is the acceleration (+9m/s^2). We solve for d:

$d = \frac{v^2 - v_0^2}{2a} = \frac{(0m/s)^2 - (-8m/s)^2}{2*7m/s^2}= -4.57m$

Now, before finding the distance traveled in the second phase, we need to find the time that took for the velocity to reach 0:

$t_1 = \frac{v}{a} = \frac{8m/s}{7m/s^2} = 1.143 s$

Then, the time of the second phase will be:

$t_2 = 9s - t_1 = 9s - 1.143s = 7.857s$

Using this, we using the equations for constant acceleration motion in order to calculate the distance traveled in the second phase:

$x = \frac{1}{2}a*t^2 + v_0*t + x_0$

V_0, the initial velocity of the second phase, will be 0 as previously mentioned. X_0, the initial position, will be 0, for simplicity:

$x = \frac{1}{2}*7\frac{m}{s^2}*t^2 + 0m/s*t + 0m = 216.07m$

So, the total distance covered by this object in meters will be the sum of all the distances we found:

$x_total = 24m + 4.57m + 216.07m = 244.64m$

the moon revolves around the earth in a nearly circular orbit kept by gravitational force exerted by the earth work done will be

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Zero because the applied force is perpendicular to the motion of the object.

No work is done on an object moving is a circular path about a central attractive force.

Any work done in such a case would result in a change in the orbit.

How to find out the heat capacity of a material?

DochEvi [55]

$\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {EXPLANATION}}}}$

The heat capacity is given by the expression:

$\longrightarrow \sf{\triangle Q= m \triangle C \triangle T}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{Q= \: Heat}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{M= \: Mass}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{C= \: Specific \: Heat}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{T= \: Temperature}$

$\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {ANSWER:}}}}$

$\leadsto$ When the $\bm{heat}$ is measured in the calorimeter, we obtain a value, and since we know the mass of the material and we control the change in $\bm{temperature}$ , we can then determine the specific heat "C" by simply remplazing in the expression.
