DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The net force on the potatoes is given by:

F= 52 - mgSintheta

F= 52- (2×9.8× Sin70°)

F = 52 -18.4

F= 33.58N

Using Newton's 2nd law

F = ma

a=F/m = 33.58/ 2 = 16.79m/s^2

Using the equation of motion:

V^2= u^2 + 2as

V^2 = 0 + 2× 16.79 x2

V^2 = 67.16

V=sqrt(68.16)

V= 8.195m/s This is the exit velocity of the potatoes

Kinetic energy, K.E = 1/2mv^2

KE= 1/2 × 2 × 8.195^2

KE = 67.16J

4. The blades on a fan have a frequency of 15 Hz.

vichka [17]

Answer:

a) 4500 cycles b) 0.0667s c) 6.67s

Explanation:

a) 15 Hz= 15 cycles/ s

5 mins= 300s

15 cycles/s * 300s= 4500 cycles

b) Period= 1/ frequency

Period= 1/ 15 cycles/s

Period= 0.0667s

c) Period * number of revolutions= time

0.0667 * 100= 6.67s

Tju [1.3M]

The time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth will be 8.4 minutes.

To find the answer, we need to know about the distance travelled by light.

<h3>How to find the time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth?</h3>

So, in order to solve this problem, we must first know how far the moon is from Earth and how far the Sun is from the moon.
These distances are given as 3.8×10^5 km (Earth-Moon) and 1.5×10^8 km (Sun- Earth).
Since the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of Earth during a full moon, the light's distance traveled equals,

$d=(1.5*10^8km)+2(3.8*10^5km)=1.51*10^8km=1.51*10^{11}m$

As we know that light travels at a speed of 300,000 km per second. then, the time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth will be,

$t=\frac{1.51*10^{11}}{3*10^8}=503.33 s\\t=\frac{503.33}{60}=8.4min$

Thus, the time it takes for the light from the Sun to reach Earth and be recognized as 8.4 minutes.
