How are light years used to measure distances in the universe

1 answer:

4 0

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.

A ball is tossed vertically upward. When it reaches its highest point (before falling back downward) Group of answer choices the

nignag [31]

Answer:

the velocity is zero, the acceleration is directed downward, and the force of gravity acting on the ball is directed downward

Explanation:

Is this exercise in kinematics

v = v₀ - g t

where g is the acceleration of the ball, which is created by the attraction of the ball to the Earth.

At the highest point

velocity must be zero.

The acceleration depends on the Earth therefore it is constant at this point and with a downward direction.

The force of the earth on the ball is towards the center of the Earth, that is, down

all other alternatives are wrong

Answer:

A leaf is falling from the tree.

Explanation:

If motion is in only one direction(x-direction) then it is know as one directional motion.

If motion is in only two direction (x and y directions) then it is know as two directional motion.

If motion is in only three direction (x , y and z directions) then it is know as three directional motion.

A bird is flying in the air -This is three directional motion.

A leaf is falling from the tree - This is two directional motion.

A train is running on track - This is one directional motion

A lady is crawling on the surface of the ball - This is three directional motion.

Therefore the answer is ---

A leaf is falling from the tree.

A loop of radius r = 3 cm is placed parallel to the xy-plane in a uniform magnetic field = (0.75 T) . The resistance of the loop

matrenka [14]

Answer:

i = 0.00077A

Explanation:

Given:

loop radius, r = 3.0 cm = 0.03 m

Area, A = π x r² = π x 0.03² = 0.0028 m²

Magnetic Field, B = 0.75 T

Loop resistance, R = 18 Ω

time, t = 0.15 seconds

Now,

the induced emf is given as:

EMF = - BA/t .......1

Likewise,

EMF = iR.......2

Equate 1 and 2

iR = - BA/t

i = - BA/tR

i = 0.75×0.0028/0.15×18

i = 0.0021/2.7

i = 0.00077A

A stagehand starts sliding a large piece of stage scenery originally at rest by pulling it horizontally with a force of 176 N. W

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Option (a)

Explanation :

A stage hand starts sliding a large piece of stage scenery originally at rest by pulling it horizontally with a force of 176 N.

Hence Force applied $\text { Fapplied }=176 \mathrm{N}$

Force on piece of scenery $\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{g}}=490 \mathrm{N}$

$\Sigma \mathrm{F} \mathrm{y}=\mathrm{F} \mathrm{n}-\mathrm{Fg}=0$

$\mathrm{Fn}=\mathrm{Fg}$

$\mathrm{FS}_{\mathrm{max}}=\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{applied}}$

µk = $\frac{\mathrm{Fs} \max }{\mathrm{Fn}}$

= $\frac{\text { Fapplied }}{\mathrm{Fg}}$

= $\frac{176}{490}$ =0.36

coefficient of static friction is 0.36
