The average earth-sun distance is 1.50 × 10^11 m. How long does it take sunlight to reach the earth?

Physics
1 answer:
aalyn [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

8.33 minutes

Explanation:

Distance between Earth and Sun = 1.5×10¹¹ m

Speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Time = Distance / Speed

\text{Time taken}=\frac{1.5\times 10^{11}}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time taken}=500\ seconds

500\ seconds=\frac{500}{60}=8.33\ minutes

∴ Time it takes for sunlight to reach the Earth is 8.33 minutes.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

2.8 seconds

Explanation: Given that a simple pendulum that consists of a massless 2.00-meter length of rope attached to a 5.00-kg mass at one end. What is the period of oscillation for this simple pendulum

The parameters given are :

Length = 2 m

Mass = 5kg

Using the formula below

T = 2 pi × sqrt ( L / g )

Substitute all the parameters into the formula.

T = 2 × 3.143 × sqrt ( 2 / 9.8 )

T = 2 × 3.143 × 0.4517

T = 2.838 s

Therefore, the period of oscillation for this simple pendulum is 2.8 s approximately.

The Titanic was found in 1985 lying on the bottom of the North Atlantic at a depth of 2.5 miles. What is the pressure at this de
yan [13]

Answer:

<em>39428.93 N/m²</em>

Explanation:

Pressure: This can be defined as the force acting normally perpendicularly per unit area of surface. The S.I unit of pressure is N/m²

The pressure in a fluid is given as

P = ρgh............................. Equation 1

Where P = pressure, ρ = density, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Note: The North Atlantic is an ocean, and it contains water

Given: h = 2.5 mile  

If  1 mile =

1 609.344 meters,

Then 2.5 miles = (1609.344×2.5 ) m = 4023.36 m.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s², ρ = density of water = 1.0 g/m³

Substituting these values into equation 1

P = 1×4023.36×9.8

p = 39428.93 N/m²

<em>Thus the pressure at that depth = 39428.93 N/m²</em>

<em> </em>
