Answer:

The correct answer is "30 million Earth years".

Explanation:

The comets of the Oort Cloud can take up to 30 million Earth years to orbit the Sun each time. These elements are a hypothetical set of small astronomical bodies, among which are asteroids and comets. They are located beyond Pluto, at the end of the Solar System.

Which of the following phenomena support the idea that light is a wave?

Pie

Answer:

Wave theory of light explains the phenomena of interference, diffraction, scattering, dispersion, polarisation etc. Complete solution: Around 1700, it was concluded by Newton that light was a group of particles. It was called corpuscular theory.

A railroad car moving at a speed of 3.46 m/s overtakes, collides and couples with two coupled railroad cars moving in the same d

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

$2.09\ \text{m/s}$

$22298.4\ \text{J}$

Explanation:

m = Mass of each the cars = $1.6\times 10^4\ \text{kg}$

$u_1$ = Initial velocity of first car = 3.46 m/s

$u_2$ = Initial velocity of the other two cars = 1.4 m/s

v = Velocity of combined mass

As the momentum is conserved in the system we have

$mu_1+2mu_2=3mv\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{u_1+2u_2}{3}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{3.46+2\times 1.4}{3}\\\Rightarrow v=2.09\ \text{m/s}$

Speed of the three coupled cars after the collision is $2.09\ \text{m/s}$ .

As energy in the system is conserved we have

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mu_1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}2mu_2^2-\dfrac{1}{2}3mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.6\times 10^4\times 3.46^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 1.6\times 10^4\times 1.4^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\times 1.6\times 10^4\times 2.09^2\\\Rightarrow K=22298.4\ \text{J}$

The kinetic energy lost during the collision is $22298.4\ \text{J}$ .

Two equal, but oppositely charged particles are attracted to each other electrically. The size of the force of attraction is 48.

galina1969 [7]

Given:

The force of attraction is F = 48.1 N

The separation between the charges is

$\begin{gathered} r=\text{ 60.9 cm} \\ =\text{ 60.9}\times10^{-2}\text{ m} \end{gathered}$

Also, the magnitude of charge q1 = q2 = q.

To find the magnitude of charge.

Explanation:

The magnitude of charge can be calculated by the formula

$\begin{gathered} F=\frac{k(2q)}{r^2} \\ q=\frac{Fr^2}{2k} \end{gathered}$

Here, k is the Coulomb's constant whose value is

$k\text{ = 9}\times10^9\text{ N m}^2\text{ /C}^2$

On substituting the values, the magnitude of charge will be

$\begin{gathered} q=\frac{48.1\times(60.9^\times10^{-2})^2}{2\times9\times10^{^9}} \\ =9.91\times10^{-10}\text{ C} \\ =9.91\times10^{-4}\text{ }\mu C \end{gathered}$

Thus, the magnitude of each charge is 9.91 x 10^(-4) micro Coulombs.

What force acts on all objects, all the time on Earth?

TiliK225 [7]

The force that acts on all objects, all the time on Earth is gravitational force.

The force that surface exert on an object perpendicularly is normal reaction.

<h3>What force acts on all objects, all the time on Earth?</h3>

Force due to gravity is gravitational pull on objects due to its position on earth's surface.

The force due to gravity on object's is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;

F = mg

where;

m is the mass of the object
g is acceleration due to gravity

The force that surface exert on an object perpendicularly is normal reaction.

Thus, the force that acts on all objects, all the time on Earth is gravitational force.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

5.714 hours / day

Explanation:

<u>Calculate the hours used in that week </u>

120000 / 3000 = 120 / 3 = 40 hours a week

<u>Calculate the amount it is used in one day</u>

40 / 7 = 5.71428571 hours or 5.714 hours/day
