Answer:

d = 2,998 10⁷ m

Explanation:

The speed of an electromagnetic wave is the speed of light

      c = 2,998 10⁸ m / s

This speed is in a vacuum, when the light is in a material medium, its speed is lower than this, even when the order of magnitude is maintained.

Since the speed of a wave is constant, we can use the kinematic relationship

       c = d / t

       d = c t

Let's calculate

      d = 2,998 108 0.1

      d = 2,998 10⁷ m

in the vacuum or air

a person whose mass is 72 kg has a momentum of 700 kg/m/s (E) .What velocity must this person be travelling at?(2 sig figs)
liberstina [14]
From the information given, the mass of the moving body, which in this case is a person, is 72 kg and the momentum 700 kg m/s. we use the formula p = m × v. Where p is momentum, m is the mass and v is the velocity. We need v so we rewrite the equation thus: v = p/m In our case p = 700 and m = 72 v = p/m → v = 700/ 72 → v = 9.72 Therefore the person is travelling at 9.72 m/s

A car has a mass of 1600 kg. It is stuck in the snow and is being pulled out by a cable that applies a force of 7560 N due north
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Acceleration of the car will be a=0.1375m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given mass of the ball m = 1600 kg

Force in north direction F= 7560 N

Resistance force which opposes the movement of car F_R=7340N

So net force on the car F_{net}=F-F_R=7560-7340=220N

According to second law of motion we know that F=ma

So 220=1600\times a

a=0.1375m/sec^2

A tire swing hanging from a branch reaches nearly to the ground. How could you estimate the height of the branch using only a st
blagie [28]

Answer:

A stop watch measures time and the number of seconds making an osculation is the period T

Which is T = 2π√(L/g)........solving for L (the length of the pendulum),

Then the L = T²x g/( 4πr²) substitute and then u find length or height of the swing
