Time  =        (distance) / (speed)

Time  =  (150 x 10⁹ m) / (3 x 10⁸ m/s) =

                           50 x 10¹ sec  = 

                                 <em>500 sec</em>  =  8 min 20 sec

If you ignore air resistance after an initial force launches a projectile, name all forces acting on it as it moves through the
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Neglecting air resistance, the only force acting on a projectile is gravity.

This force causes the object to accelerate.

Explanation:

As a projectile moves upward, there is a downward force and a downward acceleration due to force of gravity. That is, as the object is moving upward, force of gravity acting on the projectile is causing a steady slowing down of the projectile.

Hence, Gravity is the downward force upon a projectile that influences its vertical motion and causes the parabolic trajectory that is characteristic of projectiles.

From Newton's law of motion, it suggest that force is required to cause an acceleration and not motion. Therefore, force of gravity causes the object to accelerate downwards.

If the star Sirius emits 23 times more energy than the Sun, why does the Sun appear brighter in the sky?
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

As b ∝ (L/r²) and

the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years

and

the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years

hence,

the Sun appear brighter in the sky

Explanation:

The brightness (b) is directly proportional to the Luminosity of the star (L) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the star and the observer (r).

thus, mathematically,

b ∝ (L/r²)

now,

given

L for sirius is 23 times more than the sun i.e 23L

now,

the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years

and

the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years

thus,

using the the relation between conclude that the value of brightness for the Sirius comes very very low as compared to the value for brightness for the Sun.

hence, the sun appears brighter

Balok diam diatas bidang miring pada sudut kemiringan 40° balok mulai bergerak,tentukan koefisien gesek statis antara balok dan
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

0.84

Explanation:

m = Massa balok

g = Percepatan gravitasi

\theta = Sudut kemiringan

\mu = Koefisien gesekan statik antara balok dan bidang miring

Gaya balok karena beratnya diberikan oleh

F=mg\sin\theta

Gaya gesekan diberikan oleh

f=\mu mg\cos\theta

Kondisi dimana balok mulai bergerak adalah ketika gaya balok akibat beratnya sama dengan gaya gesek pada balok.

mg\sin\theta=\mu mg\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow \mu=\dfrac{mg\sin\theta}{mg\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\tan\theta\\\Rightarrow \mu=\tan40^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.84

Koefisien gesekan statik antara balok dan bidang miring adalah 0.84.
