Answer:

c. Sound travels slower than light.

Explanation:

We see any thing because of the light emitted or reflected by it. Whereas the sound is carried by the sound waves. The speed of light is more than the speed of sound. This is the reason the family saw the fireworks first and then heard the sound.

The same can be experienced during the sighting of a Jet plane or a rocket where, we see them way before we can hear the roaring sound of its engines.

A spring is hanging from the ceiling. When a 250 gram of mass is attached to the free end, the spring elongates by 5 cm. The spr
lord [1]

Answer:

k = 49 N/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 250 g = 0.25 kg

When the mass is attached to the end of the spring, it elongates 5 cm or 0.05 m. We need to find the spring constant. Let it is k.

The force due to mass is balanced by its weight as follows :

mg=kx

k=\dfrac{mg}{x}\\\\k=\dfrac{0.25\times 9.8}{0.05}\\\\k=49\ N/m

So, the spring constant of the spring is 49 N/m.

An electric light is plugged into a 120-V outlet. If the current in the bulb is 0.50 A, how much electrical energy does the bulb
ioda

Answer:

= 54,000 Joules or 54 kJ

Explanation:

Electrical energy is given by the formula;

E = VIt; where V is the potential difference in volts, I is the current and t is the time in seconds.

Therefore;

Electrical energy = 120 V × 0.50 A × 15 ×60 seconds

                            = 54,000 Joules

Thus; the electrical energy is 54,000 joules or 54 kJ

a 230 kg roller coaster reaches the top of the steepest hill with a speed of 6.2 km/h. It then descends the hill, which is at an
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: 81.619 kJ

Explanation:

Given

Mass of roller coaster is m=230\ kg

It reaches the steepest hill with speed of u=6.2\ km/h\ or \ 1.72\ m/s

Hill to bottom is 51 m long with inclination of 45^{\circ}

Height of the hill is h=51\sin 45^{\circ}=36.06\ m

Conserving energy to get kinetic energy at bottom

Energy at top=Energy at bottom

\Rightarrow K_t+U_t=K_b+U_b\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh=K_b+0\\\\\Rightarrow K_b=0.5\times 230\times 1.72^2+230\times 9.8\times 36.06\\\Rightarrow K_b=340.216+81,279.24\\\Rightarrow K_b=81,619.456\ J\\\Rightarrow K_b=81.619\ kJ

A satellite’s velocity is 30000m/s. After 60 secs, it’s velocity shows to 15000m/a. What is the satellite’s acceleration?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Acceleration = 9 × 10^5 m/s^2 ( deceleration )

Explanation:

From the first equation of motion:

V = u + at

15000 = 30000 + 60a

a = ( 15000-30000)/60

a = 9 × 10^5 m/s^2
