Answer:

The value is   t =  14.129 \  minutes    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The distance of planet Tatoone is  d =  1.7 \ AU  =  1.7 *1.496* 10^{11}=2.543*10^{11} \ m

   The  speed of light is  c =  3.0*10^{8} \  m/  s

Generally the time taken is mathematically represented as

     t =  \frac{d}{c}

=> t =  \frac{2.543*10^{11}}{3.0*10^{8} }

=>    t =  847.7 \  s

Now converting to minutes

       t =  \frac{847.7}{60}

   =>     t =  14.129 \  minutes

A heavy copper ball of mass 2 kg is dropped from a fiftieth-floor apartment window. Another one with mass 1 kg is dropped immedi
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Because everything on Earth falls at the same speed, the masses of the balls do not matter. Since the acceleration due to gravity is constant, their speeds will both be increasing at the same rate, and therefore the difference in speeds would remain constant until they hit the ground. Hope this helps!

The ballistic pendulum is a device used to measure the speed of a projectile such as a bullet. The projectile of mass m is fired
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Relation between initial speed of bullet and height h is given as

v = \frac{m + M}{m}\sqrt{2gh}

Explanation:

As we know that system of block and bullet swings up to height h after collision

So we have

(m + M)gh = \frac{1}{2}(m + M)v_1^2

so we have

v_1 = \sqrt{2gh}

so speed of the block + bullet just after the impact is given by above equation

Now we also know that there is no force on the system of bullet + block in the direction of motion

So we can use momentum conservation

mv = (m + M)v_1

now we have

v = \frac{m + M}{m}\sqrt{2gh}

Which is a characteristic that makes electromagnetic waves and water waves different
Paraphin [41]
We know that a wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space There are two main types of waves: Mechanical and Electromagnetic. Water waves are mechanical. A mechanical wave is an oscillation of matter to transfers energy, but you always need a medium (substance such as: solid, liquid, gas, plasma) to transport it. The medium for water waves is, in fact, the water. For example, ripple in water is a surface wave. On the other hand, electromagnetic waves don't need a medium to transport, they can do it through the empty space. Then, this is the major characteristic that makes these two types of waves different.
