Answer:

<em> It takes 186.67 second for the light to travel from Mars to earth.</em>

Explanation:

Light: Light is a visible form of energy which is radiated outward from a source. Light travels in a straight line, and this phenomenon is called rectilinear propagation of light.

S = d/t .......................... Equation 1

making t the subject of the equation

t = d/S ......................... Equation 2

Where S = speed of light, d = distance between the earth and Mars, t = time

<em>Given: d = 56000000 km, S = 300000 km per seconds.</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>

<em>t = 56000000/300000</em>

<em>t = 186.67 seconds.</em>

<em>Thus it takes 186.67 second for the light to travel from Mars to earth.</em>

a sprinter with a mass of 80kg accelerates uniformly from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 s. a.)what is the runners acceleration? b.) what i
Katyanochek1 [597]
Part A: 
Acceleration can be calculated by dividing the difference of the initial and final velocities by the given time. That is,
             a = (Vf - Vi) / t
where a is acceleration,
Vf is final velocity,
Vi is initial velocity, and
t is time

Substituting,
            a = (9 m/s - 0 m/s) / 3 s = 3 m/s²
<em>ANSWER: 3 m/s²</em>

Part B: 
From Newton's second law of motion, the net force is equal to the product of the mass and acceleration,
               F = m x a
where F is force,
m is mass, and 
a is acceleration

Substituting,
              F = (80 kg) x (3 m/s²) = 240 kg m/s² = 240 N

<em>ANSWER: 240 N </em>

Part C: 
The distance that the sprinter travel is calculated through the equation,
         d = V₀t + 0.5at²

Substituting,
            d = (0 m/s)(3 s) + 0.5(3 m/s²)(3 s)²
             d = 13.5 m

<em>ANSWER: d = 13.5 m</em>

Conservation of Momentum
aksik [14]

Hi there!

This collision is an example of an inelastic collision since kinetic energy is lost from the collision.

We can represent this using the conservation of momentum formula:

m1v1 + m2v1 = m1vf + m2vf

Where:

m1 = blue ball

m2 = green ball

We know that the final velocity of the blue ball is 0, so:

m1v1 + m2v1 = m2vf

Rearrange to solve for the speed of the green ball:

(m1v1 + m2v1)/m2 = vf

Plug in given values:

((0.15 · 3) + (0.15 · 2)) / 0.15 = 5 m/s

What must be true about a surface in order for diffuse reflection to occur?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

carpet

Explanation:

Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light from a surface such that an incident ray is reflected at many angles rather than at just one angle as in the case of specular reflection.

The structure of carpet's surface is as shown. Thus it shows large amount of diffuse reflection.

what is the wavelength of waves at the beach if they have a frequency of 0.3 Hz and they move at 7.1 m/s?
Reil [10]

Answer:

23.67 m

Explanation:

We are given;

Frequency; f = 0.3 Hz

Speed; v = 7.1 m/s

Now, formula to get the wavelength is from the wave equation which is;

v = fλ

Where λ is wavelength

Making λ the subject, we have;

λ = v/f

λ = 7.1/0.3

λ = 23.67 m
