A light year is the DISTANCE light travels through vacuum in 1 year.

If light is traveling through vacuum, then it's traveling at the speed of light in vacuum. If a student at home at the beginning of the trip is holding the clock, then ...

Traveling 1 light year takes 1 year.

Traveling 2 light years takes 2 years.

Traveling 3 light years takes 3 years.

Traveling 10 light years takes 10 years.

If the light is traveling through some other substance, or if the clock is traveling along with the light, then these numbers all change.

YOU cannot travel at the speed of light. We have to just leave it at that

If the truck has a mass of 2,000 kilograms , what's its momentum?(v=35 m/s)

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 70,000 \ kg*m/s}}$

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

$p=m*v$

The mass of the truck is 2,000 kilograms and the velocity is 35 meters per second.

$m= 2000 \ kg \\v= 35 \ m/s$

Substitute the values into the formula and multiply.

$p= 2000 \ kg * 35 \ m/s \\p= 70,000 \ kg*m/s$

The truck's momentum is <u>70,000 kilograms meters per second.</u>

The top of the pool table is 0.810 m from the floor. the placement of the tape is such that 0 m is aligned with the edge of the

8090 [49]

Compute first for the vertical motion, the formula is:

y = gt²/2

0.810 m = (9.81 m/s²)(t)²/2

t = 0.4064 s

whereas the horizontal motion is computed by:

x = (vx)t

4.65 m = (vx)(0.4064 s)

4.65 m/ 0.4064s = (vx)

(vx) = 11.44 m / s
So look for the final vertical speed.

(vy) = gt

(vy) = (9.81 m/s²)(0.4064 s)

(vy) = 3.99 m/s

speed with which it hit the ground:

v = sqrt[(vx)² + (vy)²]

v = sqrt[(11.44 m/s)² + (3.99 m/s)²]

v = 12.12 m / s
