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}}

Two men, Joel and Jerry, each pushes an object that are identical on a horizontal frictionless floor starting from rest. Joel an
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The work done by Joel is greater than the work done by Jerry.

Explanation:

Let suppose that forces are parallel or antiparallel to the direction of motion. Given that Joel and Jerry exert constant forces on the object, the definition of work can be simplified as:

W = F\cdot \Delta s

Where:

W - Work, measured in joules.

F - Force exerted on the object, measured in newtons.

\Delta s - Travelled distance by the object, measured in meters.

During the first 10 minutes, the net work exerted on the object is zero. That is:

W_{net} = W_{Joel} - W_{Jerry}

W_{net} = F\cdot \Delta s - F\cdot \Delta s

W_{net} = (F-F)\cdot \Delta s

W_{net} = 0\cdot \Delta s

W_{net} = 0\,J

In exchange, the net work in the next 5 minutes is the work done by Joel on the object:

W_{net} = W_{Joel}

W_{net} = F\cdot \Delta s

Hence, the work done by Joel is greater than the work done by Jerry.

Compare and contrast formation of with the formation of mgcl2
zalisa [80]

Answer: Both of the compounds contain primary bonding; however, the bonding is of different types. Magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) contains ionic bonds, which are stronger and involve the complete transfer of electrons. Meanwhile, ethane (C₂H₆) also bonds by electron transfer but the electrons are not completely transferred from one atom to another. Instead, they are shared, forming what is known as a covalent bond.

A 10 ohms resistor is powered by a 5-V battery. The current flowing<br> through the source is:
mario62 [17]
  • Resistance=R=10ohm
  • Voltage=V=5V
  • Current=I

Applying ohm's law

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{V}{I}=R

\\ \sf\longmapsto I=\dfrac{V}{R}

\\ \sf\longmapsto I=\dfrac{5}{10}

\\ \sf\longmapsto I=0.5A

Name 2 ways that sound waves and electromagnetic waves are different. Describe specifically.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:Sound waves are longitudinal waves that is, are transmitted in the same direction of oscillation of the particles in the medium. Electromagnetic waves are transverse ie, the electric and magnetic fields, which are perpendicular to each other, oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of wave propagation.
