How are light years used to measure distances in the universe

1 answer:

A light year is a unit of distance. It is a distance that light can travel in a years time which is six trillion miles. It is used to measure the distances in space. To take one example, the distance to the next nearest big galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy, from earth is 21,000,000,000,000,000,000 km.

Issac and Blaise decide to race. They both start at the same position at the same time. Issac runs at 2m/s but decides to take a

FromTheMoon [43]

Let the Blaise runs for time "t" to complete the race

so the total distance he moved is given by

$d_1 = 1* t$

Now Issac runs for time t = "t - 2*60"

because it took rest for 2 minutes

$d_2 = 2*(t - 120)$

now it is given that Blaise wins by 10 m distance

$d_1 - d_2 = 10$

$1* t - 2*(t - 120) = 10$

$t - 2t + 240 = 10$

$t = 230 s$

now the distance moved by Blaise is given by

$d_1 = 1*230 = 230 m$

Answer:

Part a)

$H = 44.1 m$

Part b)

$y = 13.48 m$

Part c)

$d = 8.86 m$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that ball will reach at maximum height at

t = 3 s

now we will have

$t = \frac{v sin\theta}{g}$

now we have

$3 = \frac{vsin\theta}{9.8}$

$v sin\theta = 29.4 m/s$

Now maximum height above ground is given as

$H = \frac{v^2sin^2\theta}{2g}$

$H = \frac{29.4^2}{2(9.8)}$

$H = 44.1 m$

Part b)

Height of the fence is given as

$y = (vsin\theta) t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y = (29.4)(5.5) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(5.5^2)$

$y = 13.48 m$

Part c)

As we know that its horizontal distance moved by the ball in 5.5 s is given as

$x = v_x t$

$97.5 = v_x (5.5)$

$v_x = 17.72 m/s$

now total time of flight is given as

$T = 3 + 3 = 6 s$

so range is given as

$R = v_x T$

$R = (17.72)(6)$

$R = 106.4 m$

so the distance from the fence is given as

$d = 106.4 - 97.5$

$d = 8.86 m$

When are magnets attracted and when are they repelled.

vova2212 [387]

Magnets are attracted when each of the different sides, most commonly known as "North" and "South", are facing each other. They repel when North and North, or South and South are facing each other.
