If the Sun suddenly turned off, we would not know it until its light stopped coming. How long would that be, given that the Sun

is 1.50x10'' m away?

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.

Why is atomaspheric pressure greater at the surface on Earth
andrew-mc [135]
Hello!

Because as you get closer to the surface of the earth, the more air that is on top of you. At the top of the atmosphere, there is less air, and everything is a vacuum, where you have no weight. When you get close to the earth, the weight of the air builds until it when you're at the very lowest point of the earths surface, all the air in the atmosphere above you is pressing down.

Thank You!

Elis [28]

Answer:

-20000 kgm/s

Explanation:

Impulse: This can be defined as the product of the mass of a body and its change in velocity. The S.I unit of impulse is kgm/s.

Mathematically, impulse can be expressed as

I = m(v-u).............. Equation 1.

Where I = impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest, m = mass of the car, u = initial velocity of the car, v = final velocity of the car.

Given: m = 1000 kg, u = 20 m/s, v = 0 m/s ( to rest)

Substitute into equation 1

I = 100(0-20)

I = 1000(-20)

I = -20000 kgm/s

Hence the impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest = -20000 kgm/s
