How long does it take light to travel 850 km in a vacuum? Answer in ms.(Express your answer to two significant figures.)

Physics
1 answer:
poizon [28]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

0.002833 sec

Explanation:

Speed of light in vacuum is 3\times 10^{8}m/sec

Given distance = 850 km = 850×1000=850000 m

We have to calculate the time that light take to travel the distance 850 km

Time T=\frac{distance }{speed}=\frac{850000}{3\times 10^8}=2.833\times 10^{-3}sec

So the time taken by light to travel 850 km is 0.002833 sec

A player kicks a football from ground level with an initial velocity of 27.0 m/s, 30.0° above the
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Option B. 2.8 s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 27 m/s

Angle of projection (θ) = 30

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time of flight (T) =?

The time of flight of the ball can be obtained as follow:

T = 2uSineθ / g

T = 2 × 27 × Sine 30 / 9.8

T = 2 × 27 × 0.5 / 9.8

T = 27 / 9.8

T = 2.8 s

Therefore, time of flight of the ball is 2.8 s

A seagull flying horizontally at 8.00m/s carries a clam with a mass of 300g in its beak. Calculate the total mechanical energy o
Stells [14]

Answer:

9.6J+88.2J=97.8J

Explanation:

Here the velocity of the seagull is given,mass is given and its height.

We have to find its mechanical energy my friend.

Mechanical energy=kinetic energy + potential energy.

First we will find kinetic energy.

For calculating kinetic energy we need mass and velocity,which are given here.

So, Ek=

1 \div 2mv {?}^{2}

So by substituting the values we get 9.6J.

Now we find the potential energy which is mgh.

By substituting the values we get 88.2J.

Then we add both of those and get 97.8J

I hope this satisfies you and make sure you contact me if it doesn't

The force of replusion between two like charged particles will increase if​
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The distance of separation is decreased

Explanation:

From Cuolomb's law, we know that the strength of charge is inversely proportional to the distance of separation between the charges. To mean that increasing the distance let's say from 2m to 3 m would mean initial strength getting form 1/4 to 1/9 which is a decrease. The vice versa is true hence the force of repulsion can increase only when we decrease the distance of separation.
