What is the theory of light?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Corpuscular theory of light

Explanation:

In optics, the corpuscular theory of light, arguably set forward by Descartes in 1637, states that light is made up of small discrete particles called "corpuscles" which travel in a straight line with a finite velocity and possess impetus. This was based on an alternate description of atomism of the time period.

Mary takes 6.0 seconds to run up a flight of stairs that is 102 meters long. If Mary's weight is 87 newtons, what power has Mary
fredd [130]

Answer: 1479watts

Explanation:

Power is defined as the energy expended or work done in a specific time.

Mathematically,

Power = Workdone/time taken

Since work done is force × distance

Power = force × distance/time

Force = Mary's weight = 87N

Distance = height of the flight = 102meters

Time = 6.0seconds

Substituting in the formula we have;

Power = 87 × 102/6

Power = 1,479watts

Note that the time must be in seconds before usage. If its given in minutes, you will have to convert to seconds

Calculate the velocity of a 1650kg satellite that is in a circular orbit of 4.2 x 10^6m above the surface of a planet which has
Anastasy [175]
-- We're going to be talking about the satellite's speed. 
"Velocity" would include its direction at any instant, and
in a circular orbit, that's constantly changing.

-- The mass of the satellite makes no difference.

Since the planet's radius is  3.95 x 10⁵m  and the satellite is
orbiting  4.2 x 10⁶m  above the surface, the radius of the
orbital path itself is

                               (3.95 x 10⁵m) + (4.2 x 10⁶m)

                     =        (3.95 x 10⁵m) + (42 x 10⁵m)

                     =           45.95 x 10⁵ m

The circumference of the orbit is  (2 π R) =  91.9 π x 10⁵ m.

The bird completes a revolution every 2.0 hours,
so its speed in orbit is

                                     (91.9 π x 10⁵ m) / 2 hr

                        =        45.95 π x 10⁵  m/hr  x  (1 hr / 3,600 sec)

                        =           0.04 x 10⁵      m/sec

                        =              4 x 10³      m/sec  

                                     (4 kilometers per second)
