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>

Sarah, who lives in Australia notices that the length of the shadow of the flagpole is getting shorter every day when measured a
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Time zone is one important factor in difference in location and this in turn affects the result of the resolution and rotation of shadow produced from the sun or other illumination.

Therefore someone at a place might see a clear large shadow due to shinny sun reflection and another a small or dull Shadow at same time if the intensity of the sun or lighting source is going down.

Explanation:

The closer a body/object is to a lighting source the larger the shadow it produces, and the farther the body the smaller the shadow produced.

Two resistors, of R1 = 3.11 Ω and R2 = 6.15 Ω, are connected in series to a battery with an EMF of 24.0 V and negligible interna
Firlakuza [10]
Part (a):
1- Since the resistors are in series, therefore, the total resistance is the summation of the two resistors.
Therefore:
Rtotal = R1 + R2 = 3.11 + 6.15 = 9.26 ohm

2- Since the two resistors are in series, therefore, the current flowing in both is the same. We will use ohm's law to get the current as follows:
V = I*R
V is the voltage of the battery = 24 v
I is the current we want to get
R is the total resistance = 9.26 ohm
Therefore:
24 = 9.26*I
I = 24 / 9.26
I = 2.59 ampere

Part (b):
To get the voltage across the second resistor, we will again use Ohm's law as follows:
V = I*R
V is the voltage we want to get
I is the current in the second resistor = 2.59 ampere
R is the value of the second resistor = 6.15 ohm
Therefore:
V = I*R
V = 2.59 * 6.15
V = 15.9285 volts

Hope this helps :)

Rank in order, from smallest to largest, the six torques (torque 1 to torque 2) about the hinge.?
anzhelika [568]
The solution for this problem is:torque1 = torque2 = FL / 2 
Torque 3 = Torque 4 = FL / 2 * sin (theta) 
Torque 5 = 2 FL 
Torque 6 = 0 

So the order of the torques from smallest to largest is torque 6, (torque 3 and 4), (torque 1 and 2), torque 5.


Remember or just take note that sin (theta) < 1 is why 3 and 4 are less than 1 and 2.

A cyclist turns a corner with a radius of 50m at a speed of 10m/s. What is the cyclist's acceleration?
miv72 [106K]

2m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Radius = 50m

Speed = 10m/s

Unknown:

Acceleration of the cyclist

Solution:

The acceleration of the cyclist is directed inside of the corner because his motion is inward. This is a form of centripetal acceleration;

Centripetal acceleration is given by;

     a = \frac{v^{2} }{r}

v is the velocity

r is the radius

   a =  \frac{10^{2} }{50} = 2m/s²

If the line spectrum of lithium has a red line at 670.8 nm. How much energy does a a photon with this wavelength have?
Colt1911 [192]
We already know the formula for finding the energy of a photon with this wavelength as:
<span>E = ħc / λ
</span>The information's that we already know are:
h = Plancks constant
   = <span>6.626x10^-34 Js
c = light speed
   = </span><span> 2.999x10^8 m/s
</span><span>λ = Wavelength of the light as given in the question
</span>   = <span>670.8x10^-9 m
E = amount of energy
Then
E = (</span>6.626x10^-34) * (2.999x10^8)/ (<span>670.8x10^-9)
    = </span><span>2.962x10^-19 J</span>
