I think the force of spinning it can only hold for so long and because of gravitys pressure.(i hope i helped) :)

The distance between earth and sun is 15000000km. Light takes 499 seconds to reach earth from sun. Calculate the speed of light

iVinArrow [24]

To solve the problem we must know about the relationship between Speed, distance, and Time.

<h3>What is the relationship between Speed, distance, and Time?</h3>

We know that sped, distance, and time all are in a relationship to each other. this relationship can be given as,

$\rm{Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}$

The speed of the light is 30,060.12 km/sec.

Given to us

The distance between the earth and the sun is 15000000km
Light takes 499 seconds to reach earth from the sun.

We know that speed can be described as,

$\rm{Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}$

Therefore,

<h3>What is the speed of the light?</h3>

$\text{Speed of light} = \dfrac{\text{Distance between the earth and the sun}}{\text{Time taken by the light to travel the distance}}$

Substitute the value,

$\text{Speed of light} = \dfrac{15,000,000\ km}{499\ seconds}$

$\text{Speed of light} = 30,060.12\ km/sec$

Hence, the speed of the light is 30,060.12 km/sec.

How do you calculate the power in a circuit or device if given the current and the resistance?

Drupady [299]

Answer:

you use the Ohms law so to find the voltage you would need to multiply the current by the resistance which gives you the power.

V- voltage

I- current

R- resistance

V= I×R

A 7 ft tall person is walking away from a 20 ft tall lamppost at a rate of 5 ft/sec. Assume the scenario can be modeled with rig

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The rate of change of the shadow length of a person is 2.692 ft/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Height of a person, H = 20 ft

Height of a person, h = 7 ft

Rate = 5 ft/s

Now,

From Fig.1:

b = person's distance from the lamp post

a = shadow length

Also, from the similarity of the triangles, we can write:

$\frac{a + b}{20} = \frac{a}{7}$

$a = \frac{7}{13}b$

Differentiating the above eqn w.r.t t:

$\frac{da}{dt} = \frac{7}{13}.\frac{db}{dt}$

Now, we know that:

Rate = $\frac{db}{dt} = 5\ ft/s$

Thus

$\frac{da}{dt} = \frac{7}{13}.\times 5 = 2.692\ ft/s$

Red light of wavelength 633 nmnm from a helium-neon laser passes through a slit 0.360 mmmm wide. The diffraction pattern is obse

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Δy= 5,075 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

The expression that describes the interference phenomenon is

d sin θ = (m + ½) λ

As the observation is on a distant screen

tan θ = y / x

tan θ= sin θ/cos θ

As in ethanes I will experience the separation of the vines is small and the distance to the big screen

tan θ = sin θ

Let's replace

d y / x = (m + ½) λ

The width of a bright stripe at the difference in distance

y₁ = (m + ½) λ x / d

m = 1

y₁ = 3/2 λ x / d

Let's use m = 1, we look for the following interference,

m = 2

y₂ = (2+ ½) λ x / d

The distance to the screen is constant x₁ = x₂ = x₀

The width of the bright stripe is

Δy = λ x / d (5/2 -3/2)

Δy = 630 10⁻⁹ 2.90 /0.360 10⁻³ (1)

Δy= 5,075 10⁻⁶ m
