Answer:

d=9.462×10^15 meters

Explanation:

<u>Relation between distance, temps and velocity:</u>

d=v*t

t=1year*(365days/1year)*/(24hours/1day)*(3600s/1h)=31536000s

So:

1 light year=d=3*10^8m/s*3.154*10^7s=9.462×10^15 meters

A 0.2 kg block sliding on a horizontal table slows down from 25 m/s to 20 m/s. How much energy does the block lose due to fricti
Papessa [141]

Answer:

the kinetic energy lost due to friction is 22.5 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the block, m = 0.2 kg

initial velocity of the block, u = 25 m/s

final velocity of the block, v = 20 m/s

The kinetic energy lost due to friction is calculated as;

\Delta K.E= K.E_f - K.E_i\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2}mv^2 -  \frac{1}{2}mu^2\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2}m(v^2 -u^2)\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2} \times 0.2 (20^2 - 25^2)\\\\\Delta K.E= -22.5 \ J

Therefore, the kinetic energy lost due to friction is 22.5 J

19. After a snowstorm, you put on your frictionless skis and tie a rope to the back of your friend’s truck. Your total mass is 7
Kisachek [45]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Total mass is 70 kg

The truck exerts a constant force of 20 N.

Then the net force is given by :

F = ma

a is acceleration of rider

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{20}{70}\\\\a=\dfrac{2}{7}\ m/s^2

Initial velocity of rider is 0. So, using equation of kinematics to find the final velocity as :

v=u+at\\\\v=at\\\\v=\dfrac{2}{7}\times 15\\\\v=4.28\ m/s

Since, 1 m/s = 2.23 mph

4.28 m/s = 9.57 mph

So, the speed of the rider is 4.28 m/s or 9.57 mph.
