It is overhead at the equator, it is because the sun ray’s
will be moving vertically as this will be directed at the equator. It is
because if it moves vertically, it will hit or overhead the equator and this
usually happens in spring and fall.
Answer:
Choice A
Explanation:
The lower the point the higher the kinetic energy because Mechanical energy is conserved and the Gravitational Potential Energy gets lower when the height is lower
Answer:
v = 384km/min
Explanation:
In order to calculate the speed of the Hubble space telescope, you first calculate the distance that Hubble travels for one orbit.
You know that 37000 times the orbit of Hubble are 1,280,000,000 km. Then, for one orbit you have:
You know that one orbit is completed by Hubble on 90 min. You use the following formula to calculate the speed:
hence, the speed of the Hubble is approximately 384km/min
Answer: 996m/s
Explanation:
Formula for calculating velocity of wave in a stretched string is
V = √T/M where;
V is the velocity of wave
T is tension
M is the mass per unit length of the wire(m/L)
Since the second wire is twice as far apart as the first, it will be L2 = 2L1
Let V1 and V2 be the speed of the shorter and longer wire respectively
V1 = √T/M1... 1
V2 = √T/M2... 2
Since V1 = 249m/s, M1 = m/L1 M2 = m/L2 = m/2L1
The equations will now become
249 = √T/(m/L1) ... 3
V2 = √T/(m/2L1)... 4
From 3,
249² = TL1/m...5
From 4,
V2²= 2TL1/m... 6
Dividing equation 5 by 6 we have;
249²/V2² = TL1/m×m/2TL1
{249/V2}² = 1/2
249/V2 = (1/2)²
249/V2 = 1/4
V2 = 249×4
V2 = 996m/s
Therefore the speed of the wave on the longer wire is 996m/s
Answer:
16 m/s.
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Mass of truck = 5000 Kg
Velocity of truck = 8 m/s
Mass of car = 2500 kg
Velocity of car =..?
Next, we shall determine the momentum of the truck. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass of truck = 5000 Kg
Velocity of truck = 8 m/s
Momentum of truck =.?
Momentum = mass × velocity
Momentum = 5000 × 8
Momentum of the truck = 40000 Kg.m/s
Finally, we shall determine the velocity of the car as follow:
From the question given above, we were told that the car and truck has the same momentum.
This implies that:
Momentum of the truck = momentum of car = 40000 Kg.m/s
Thus, the velocity of the car can be obtained as shown below:
Mass of car = 2500 kg
Momentum of the car = 40000 Kg.m/s
Velocity of car =..?
Momentum = mass × velocity
40000 = 2500 × velocity
Divide both side by 2500
Velocity = 40000/2500
Velocity = 16 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the car is 16 m/s.
