Answer:

8.33 minutes

Explanation:

First let us find out how much time it takes for the light for the sun to reach the earth

Distance between Earth and Sun is 1.5×10¹¹ m

Speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

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

Converting to minutes

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

So, it takes 8.33 minutes for the light from the sun to reach Earth.

This means that we would be receiving light for 8.33 minutes after the Sun turned off.

Four wires meet at a junction. In two of the wires, currents and enter the junction. In one of the wires, current leaves the jun
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kirchoff's current law: It states that the total current entering at a junction is equal to the total current leaving at the junction. It isbased on conservation of charge.  

As two current i1 and i2 is entering at the junction and i3 is leaving, so the current in forth wire is

i4 = i1 + i2 - i3

a rocket is launched with a constant acceleration straight up. exactly 4.00 seconds after lift off, a bolt falls off the side of
Papessa [141]

The initial speed of the bolt is not 58.86 m/s.  

Let a be the acceleration of the rocket.  

During the 4 sec lift off, the rocket has reached a height of  

h = (1/2)*a*t^2  

with t=4,  

h = (1/2)*a^16  

h = 8*a  

Its velocity at 4 sec is  

v = t*a  

v = 4*a  

The initial velocity of the bolt is thus 4*a.  

During the 6 sec fall, the bolt has the initial velocity V0=-4*a and it drops a total height of h=8*a. From the equation of motion,  

h = (1/2)*g*t^2 + V0*t  

Substituting h0=8*a, t=6 and V0=-4*a into it,  

8*a = (1/2)*g*36 - 4*a*6  

Solving for a  

a = 5.52 m/s^2

1. How much energy is needed to raise 1 g of water 1°C?
Serga [27]

Answer:

1.The calorie was originally defined as the amount of heat required at a pressure of 1 standard atmosphere to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1° Celsius. Since 1925 this calorie has been defined in terms of the joule, the definition since 1948 being that one calorie is equal to approximately 4.2 joules.

2.Boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius: 540 calories are needed to turn 1 gram (at 100 degrees Celsius) of water to steam.
