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

Energy Conservation Theory,

(k+v)_i=(k+v)_f \quad \text { (No air resistone)}\\

\frac{1}{2} m v_i^2-\frac{G m M_\epsilon}{R_\epsilon}=0-\frac{G m M_\epsilon}{R_\epsilon+h}

\frac{1}{2} m v_i^2-\frac{G m M_\epsilon}{R_\epsilon}=0-\frac{G m M_\epsilon}{R_\epsilon+h}

v_{e x^2}{ }^2-v_i^2=\frac{v_{e^2 R_t} R_t}{R_t t h}\\&\frac{1}{v_{B C^2-v_1^2}^2}=\frac{R_E+h}{v_{e^2 R_E} R_E}\\\\\\h=\frac{R_E V_1^2}{v_{\text {esc }}^2-v_1^{\beta^2}}

<h3>What is law of  energy conservation?</h3>

The principle of energy conservation states that energy is neither created nor destroyed.  It may change from one sort to another. Just like the mass conservation rule, the legitimacy of the preservation of energy depends on experimental perceptions; hence, it is an experimental law. The law of preservation of energy, too known as the primary law of thermodynamics

How will frost on the wings of an airplane affect takeoff performance?
san4es73 [151]

Frost will disturb the smooth flow of air over the wing, unpleasantly distressing its lifting competence. In other words, this spoils the even flow of air over the wings, by this means decreasing lifting capability. Also, frost may avoid the airplane from becoming flying at normal departure speed.

We would be more likely to get an accurate measurement of the distance from Earth to a nearby star if we took the angular measur
NeTakaya

Answer:

6 month interval

Explanation:

The distance to a nearby star in theory is more simple than

one might think! First we must learn about the parallax effect. This is the mechanism our eyes use to perceive things at a distance! When we look at the star from the earth we see it at different angles throughout the earth's movement around the sun similar to how we see when we cover on eye at a time. Modern telescopes and technology can help calculate the angle of the star to the earth with just two measurements (attached photo!) Since we know the distance of the earth from the sun we can use a simple trigonometric function to calculate the distance to the star. The two measurements needed to calculate the angle of the star to the earth caused by parallax (in short angle θ) are shown in the second attached photo.

So using a simple trigonometric function Sin\theta=\frac{r}{d} we can solve for d which is the distance of the earth to the star:

d=\frac{r}{Sin\theta}

In the first attached photo a picture where r is the distance to the star and the base of the triangle is the diameter of the earth.
