The distance from the Sun to the Earth is 149,600,000 km.

d=149 600 000 \ km = 149 600 000 000 \ m = 1496 \cdot 10^8 \ m \\
v=2 \cdot 10^6 \ \frac{m}{s} \\ \\ \\
t=\frac{d}{v} \\ \\
t=\frac{1496 \cdot 10^8 \ m}{2 \cdot 10^6 \ \frac{m}{s}}=748 \cdot 10^2 \ s =\frac{748 \cdot 10^2 }{36 \cdot 10^2} \ h \approx \underline{\underline{20,78 \ h}}

Suppose an object is moving in a straight line at 50 miles/hr. According to Newton's first law of motion, the object will ______
Setler [38]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that a body will remain in its state of rest or if its in motion will continue to move in a straight line, unless its acted upon by an external force.The ability of an object to stay at rest or in motion if its in motion is known as inertia.

Hence the correct option is B.

A tennis racket strikes a tennis ball with a force of 100 N. With what force
viva [34]

Answer:

-100N

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that to every force exerted on one body, there is an equal and opposite force. This means that if object A exerts an ACTION force on B, there is a force called REACTION FORCE, which is equal and opposite, exerted on A by B.

The action and reaction forces are equal in size/magnitude but opposite in direction. In this case where a tennis racket strikes a tennis ball with a force (action force) of 100N, the ball will strike the racket with a reaction force of -100N.

F(RB) = -F(BR)

Using diagram differentiate between solenoid and a toroid
damaskus [11]

The Toroid is form when you have wound conductor around circular body. In this case you have magnatic field inside the core but you dont have any poles because circular body dont have ends. This can be used where you want minimum flux leakage and dont need magnatic poles. i.e. toroidal inductor, toroidal transformer.


The Solenoid is forn when you wound conductor around body with limb. In this case magnatic field creates two poles N and S. Solenoids have little bit flux leakage. This used where you want magnatic poles and flux leakage is not an issue. i.e. relay, motors, electromagnates.

1 == toroid


2= solenoid

A grandfather clock is "losing" time because its pendulum moves too slowly. Assume that the pendulum is a massive bob at the end
IgorC [24]

Answer:

d) shortening the string

Explanation:

Time period of a pendulum clock is dependent on two factors namely:length and acceleration due to gravity.

When a clock loses time, the time period of the pendulum clock increases.

This however can be corrected by decreasing the length of the pendulum.The time period of the pendulum clock is not dependent on the mass of the bob. The time period of the pendulum clock can be corrected only by changing the length of the pendulum string.
