just olya [345]

Answer:

1.99 parsecs.

Explanation:

We have been given that the most recently discovered system close to Earth is a pair of brown dwarfs known as Luhman 16. It has a distance of 6.5 light-years.

We know that one light year equals to 0.306601 parsecs. To convert 6.5 light-years to parsecs, we will multiply 0.306601 by 6.5.

$6.5\text{ Light-years}=6.5\times 0.306601\text{ Parsecs}$

$6.5\text{ Light-years}=1.9929065\text{ Parsecs}$

$6.5\text{ Light-years}\approx 1.99\text{ Parsecs}$

Therefore, Luhman 16 is approximately 1.99 parsecs away from the Earth.

A 20 cm-radius ball is uniformly charged to 71 nC.

artcher [175]

Answer:

Part a)

$\rho = 2.12\mu C/m^3$

Part b)

$q_1 = 1.11 nC$

$q_2 = 8.88 nC$

$q_3 = 71 nC$

Part c)

$E_1 = 3996 N/C$

$E_2 = 7992 N/C$

$E_3 = 15975 N/C$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that charge density is the ratio of total charge and total volume

So here the volume of the charge ball is given as

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3$

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi(0.20)^3$

$V = 0.0335 m^3$

now the charge density of the ball is given as

$\rho = \frac{71 nC}{0.0335} = 2.12\mu C/m^3$

Part b)

Now the charge enclosed by the surface is given as

$q = \rho V$

at radius of 5 cm

$q = (2.12 \mu C/m^3)(\frac{4}{3}\pi(0.05)^3$

$q = 1.11 nC$

at radius of 10 cm

$q = (2.12 \mu C/m^3)(\frac{4}{3}\pi(0.10)^3$

$q = 8.88 nC$

at radius of 20 cm

$q = 71 nC$

Part c)

As we know that electric field is given as

$E = \frac{kq}{r^2}$

so we have electric field at r = 5 cm

$E_1 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.11 nC)}{0.05^2}$

$E_1 = 3996 N/C$

electric field at r = 10 cm

$E_2 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(8.88 nC)}{0.10^2}$

$E_2 = 7992 N/C$

electric field at r = 20 cm

$E_3 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(71 nC)}{0.20^2}$

$E_3 = 15975 N/C$

Using this formula a = F/m What acceleration results from exerting a 125N force on a 0.65kg

Softa [21]

Answer:

Acceleration = 192.3 m/s² (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Force = 125 N

Mass of ball = 0.65 kg

Find:

Acceleration

Computation:

We know that;

Acceleration = Force / Mas

So,

Acceleration = 125 / 0.65

Acceleration = 192.3 m/s² (Approx.)

A Meteorite Strikes On October 9, 1992, a 27-pound meteorite struck a car in Peekskill, NY, leaving a dent 22 cm deep in the tru

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Acceleration of the meteorite, $a=-38409.09\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

A Meteorite after striking struck a car, v = 0

Initial speed of the Meteorite, u = 130 m/s

Distance covered by Meteorite, s = 22 cm = 0.22 m

We need to find the magnitude of its deceleration. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}$

$a=\dfrac{-(130)^2}{2\times 0.22}$

$a=-38409.09\ m/s^2$

So, the deceleration of the Meteorite is $-38409.09\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
