If the Sun suddenly went dark, we would not know it until its light stopped arriving on Earth. How long would that be, in second

s, given that the Sun is 1.50 × 1011 m away?

Answer: 500 s

Explanation:

Speed v is defined as a relation between the distance d and time t:

v=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

v=3(10)^{8}m/s is the speed of light in vacuum

d=1.5(10)^{11}m is the distance between the Earth and Sun

t is the time it takes to the light to travel the distance d

Isolating t:

t=\frac{d}{v}

t=\frac{1.5(10)^{11}m}{3(10)^{8}m/s}

Finally:

t=500 s

A racecar is equipped with a computer that records the reading on its speedometer every second during a race. If you graph this
Tanya [424]
Because it records speed of the car at a certain time, the independent variable should be time and dependent would be speed or velocity. Since it's taken every second, it would be considered instantaneous velocity, which is D.

A baseball m=.34kg is spun vertically on a massless string of length l=.52m. the string can only support a tension of tmax=9.9n
larisa86 [58]
<span>4.5 m/s This is an exercise in centripetal force. The formula is F = mv^2/r where m = mass v = velocity r = radius Now to add a little extra twist to the fun, we're swinging in a vertical plane so gravity comes into effect. At the bottom of the swing, the force experienced is the F above plus the acceleration due to gravity, and at the top of the swing, the force experienced is the F above minus the acceleration due to gravity. I will assume you're capable of changing the velocity of the ball quickly so you don't break the string at the bottom of the loop. Let's determine the force we get from gravity. 0.34 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3.332 kg m/s^2 = 3.332 N Since we're getting some help from gravity, the force that will break the string is 9.9 N + 3.332 N = 13.232 N Plug known values into formula. F = mv^2/r 13.232 kg m/s^2 = 0.34 kg V^2 / 0.52 m 6.88064 kg m^2/s^2 = 0.34 kg V^2 20.23717647 m^2/s^2 = V^2 4.498574938 m/s = V Rounding to 2 significant figures gives 4.5 m/s The actual obtainable velocity is likely to be much lower. You may handle 13.232 N at the top of the swing where gravity is helping to keep you from breaking the string, but at the bottom of the swing, you can only handle 6.568 N where gravity is working against you, making the string easier to break.</span>
