Answer:

149,700,000 km

Explanation:

First, convert the time to seconds.

8 min 19 sec = (8 min) (60 sec/min) + 19 sec = 499 sec

Distance = rate × time

d = (300,000 km/s) × (499 s)

d = 149,700,000 km

Answer:

149,700,000 km   (= 1.50 x 10⁸ km)

Explanation:

Given,

Speed of light, c = 300,000 km/s

Time Taken = 8 min 19 s = 499 seconds

Recall, Distance = Speed x Time

= 300,000 km/s   x 499 s

= 149,700,000 km

= 1.50 x 10⁸ km

Running with an initial velocity of +11m/s, a horse has an average acceleration of -1.81m/s 2 . How long does it take for the ho
Ronch [10]

Answer:

2.49 seconds

Explanation:

From the question,

a = (v-u)/t............................ Equation 1

Where a = acceleration, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time

Make t the subject of the equation

t = (v-u)/a.......................... Equation 2

Given: v = 6.5 m/s, u = 11 m/s, a = -1.81 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

t = (6.5-11)/(-1.81)

t = -4.5/-1.81

t = 2.49 s

An automobile steering wheel is shown. What is the ideal mechanical advantage? If the AMA is 8, what is the efficiency of the st
Mars2501 [29]

1. Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA): 9

Explanation:

For a wheel and axle system like the steering wheel, the IMA is given by:

IMA=\frac{r_w}{r_a}

where

r_w is the radius of the wheel

r_a is the radius of the axle

For the steering wheel of the problem, we see that r_w = 18 cm and r_a=2 cm, so the IMA is

IMA=\frac{18 cm}{2 cm}=9


2. Efficiency: 88.9%

Explanation:

The efficiency of a system is defined as the ratio between the AMA (actual mechanical advantage) and the IMA:

\eta=\frac{AMA}{IMA}\cdot 100

In this problem, AMA=8 and IMA=9, so the efficiency is

\eta=\frac{8}{9}\cdot 100=88.9\%

Answer:

0.000314 Am²

6.049*10^-7 T

Explanation:

A

From the definitions of magnetic dipole moment, we can establish that

= , where

= the magnetic dipole moment in itself

= Current, 100 A

= Area, πr² (r = diameter divided by 2). Converting to m², we have 0.000001 m²

On solving, we have

= ,

= 100 * 3.14 * 0.000001

= 0.000314 Am²

B

= (0)/4 * 2 / ³, where

(0) = constant of permeability = 1.256*10^-6

z = 4.7 cm = 0.047 m

B = 1.256*10^-6 / 4*3.142 * [2 * 0.000314/0.047³]

B = 1*10^-7 * 0.000628/1.038*10^-4

B = 1*10^-7 * 6.049

B = 6.049*10^-7 T
