Answer:

The minimum time, t = 21.11 m

Explanation:

Given,

The maximum distance between the Earth and Mars, d = 780,000,000 km

The maximum distance between the Earth and Mars, d = 780,000,000 km

The speed of the light, c = 300,000 km/s

The distance and speed of the object is related using the formula,

                           v = d / t

                            t = d / v

The minimum time it takes for data transmission is when the distance between the Mars and the Earth is at minimum.

Therefore,

                            t = 380,000,000 km / 300,000 km/s

                              = 1266.67 s

                              = 21.11 minutes

Hence, the minimum time it takes for data transmitted by the Mars Surveyor to reach earth, t = 21.11 minutes

A 0.3-kg object connected to a light spring with a force constant of 19.3 N/m oscillates on a frictionless horizontal surface. A
Ghella [55]

The total work <em>W</em> done by the spring on the object as it pushes the object from 6 cm from equilibrium to 1.9 cm from equilibrium is

<em>W</em> = 1/2 (19.3 N/m) ((0.060 m)² - (0.019 m)²) ≈ 0.031 J

That is,

• the spring would perform 1/2 (19.3 N/m) (0.060 m)² ≈ 0.035 J by pushing the object from the 6 cm position to the equilibrium point

• the spring would perform 1/2 (19.3 N/m) (0.019 m)² ≈ 0.0035 J by pushing the object from the 1.9 cm position to equilbrium

so the work done in pushing the object from the 6 cm position to the 1.9 cm position is the difference between these.

By the work-energy theorem,

<em>W</em> = ∆<em>K</em> = <em>K</em>

where <em>K</em> is the kinetic energy of the object at the 1.9 cm position. Initial kinetic energy is zero because the object starts at rest. So

<em>W</em> = 1/2 <em>mv</em> ²

where <em>m</em> is the mass of the object and <em>v</em> is the speed you want to find. Solving for <em>v</em>, you get

<em>v</em> = √(2<em>W</em>/<em>m</em>) ≈ 0.46 m/s

The difference in outcome between the potential energy in a marshmallow burned over a campfire on the end of a stick and in one
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

How fast and efficient the energy is released.

Explanation:

Before burning the marshmallow energy is stored in it in the form of chemical bond energy or chemical potential energy. So upon burning this energy is released. So there will be a difference in energy release from a burned marshmallow and the one we eat straight from package.

A 250 - ω resistor is connected in series with a 4.80 - μf capacitor. the voltage across the capacitor is vc=(7.60v)⋅sin[(120rad
galben [10]
<span>553 ohms The Capacitive reactance of a capacitor is dependent upon the frequency. The lower the frequency, the higher the reactance, the higher the frequency, the lower the reactance. The equation is Xc = 1/(2*pi*f*C) where Xc = Reactance in ohms pi = 3.1415926535..... f = frequency in hertz. C = capacitance in farads. I'm assuming that the voltage and resistor mentioned in the question are for later parts that are not mentioned in this question. Reason is that they have no effect on the reactance, but would have an effect if a question about current draw is made in a later part. With that said, let's calculate the reactance. The 120 rad/s frequency is better known as 60 Hz. Substitute known values into the formula. Xc = 1/(2*pi* 60 * 0.00000480) Xc = 1/0.001809557 Xc = 552.6213302 Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 553 ohms.</span>

If the plotted points on a speed-time graph do not form a straight line, what do you know about the object's acceleration?
slega [8]
Remember, that while sped is constant, acceleration is not. Acceleration is when velicity changes. So the graph which shows the slop <span>of a velocity vs time describes acceleration.
</span>If we have the straight line on the graph it means that the slope is always the same whereas the <span>non-linear graphs has a variable slope that changes depending on your point in the graph.
</span>To conclude - if your graph is not a straight line it has variable acc at many points.<span>

A system dissipates 12 J of heat into the surroundings; meanwhile, 28 J of work is done on the system. What is the change of the
Stels [109]

Answer:

+16 J

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the 1st law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U = Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change of the internal energy of the system

Q is the heat (positive if supplied to the system, negative if dissipated by the system)

W is the work done (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surroundings on the system)

In this case we have:

Q = -12 J is the heat dissipated by the system

W = -28 J is the work done ON the system

Substituting into the equation, we find the change in internal energy of the system:

\Delta U=-12 J-(-28 J)=+16 J
