How many minutes does it take light from the sun to reach earth? (the distance from the sun to earth is 93 million mi; the speed

of light = 3.00 ✕ 108 m/s.)?

6 0

The speed of light is given which is 3*10˄8 = 300,000,000 m/s <span>
93,000 miles = 149,668,992 000 meters - distance from sun to earth 
149,668,992,000/300000000 = 498.9 seconds - time for light from sun to reach earth 
498.9 seconds/60 seconds per minute = 8.3 minutes - time for light from sun to reach earth </span>

<span>So the answer is approximately 8 minutes.</span>

If two conductors are not touching but are close to each other, a large enough voltage will cause an _________________ to occur
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Electrical breakdown.

Explanation:

When two conductors are relatively close enough, and have a very large voltage between them, it can lead to a Dielectric breakdown. A dielectric breakdown occurs when an insulator is subjected to a high enough voltage, suddenly becomes an electrical conductor and electric current flows through it. The air between the conductors is the insulator that breaks down, leading to an electrical discharge arc to flow between the two conductors. This electrical breakdown can cause catastrophic failure of electrical equipment, and fire hazards.

Find the slit separation of a double-slit arrangement that will produce interference fringes 0.018 rad apart on a distant screen
inessss [21]

Answer:

1.64 * 10^(-5) m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Angular separation, θ = 0.018 rad

Wavelength, λ = 589 nm = 5.89 * 10^(-7) m

The angular separation when there are 2 slots is given as

θ = λ/2d

where d = separation between slits

d = λ/2θ

d = (589 * 10^(-9))/(2 * 0.018)

d = 1.64 * 10^(-5) m

Answer ?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

2.75 m/s^2

Explanation:

The airplane's acceleration on the runway was 2.75 m/s^2

We can find the acceleration by using the equation: a = (v-u)/t

where a is acceleration, v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, and t is time.

In this case, v is 71 m/s, u is 0 m/s, and t is 26.1 s Therefore: a = (71-0)/26.1

a = 2.75 m/s^2
