Answer:

The order of magnitude of the distance from the sun to Earth is 10⁸ km.

Explanation:

The order of magnitude of the distance from the sun to Earth can be calculated as follows:

c = \frac{x}{t}

Where:

c: is the speed of light = 3x10⁸ m/s

t: is the time = 8 min

Hence, the distance is:

x = c*t = 3 \cdot 10^{8} m/s*8 min*\frac{60 s}{1 min} = 1.44 \cdot 10^{11} m = 1.44 \cdot 10^{8} km

Therefore, the order of magnitude of the distance from the sun to Earth is 10⁸ km.

I hope it helps you!

When the wedges are removed, the cars will move. Predict which direction they will move and when they will stop
Neko [114]

Answer: hello your question lacks the required diagram attached below is the required diagram

answer : Both cars will move backwards and stop due to friction.

Explanation:

Given that both cars are negatively charged, When the wedges are removed both cars will move backwards ( repelling each other ) because they are like poles, and Like poles repel each other. while unlike poles attract each other ( forward movement )  .

The cars will later come to a stop due to frictional forces between the cars and the surface.

Explain how the fountain pen is filled up with ink​
Leno4ka [110]

Answer: A piston-filling fountain pen has a piston — just like in a car — inside the barrel. This piston goes down to expel air or ink and then back up, pulling ink into the barrel. The typical process is very simple, assuming the pen is clean and dry: Push the piston down, expelling any air in the barrel

The component of the external magnetic field along the central axis of a 18 18 turn circular coil of radius 27.0 27.0 cm decreas
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Induced current I = 0.44 A

Explanation:

given data

no of turn N = 18

radius  = 27.0 cm

resistance of the coil = 4.50 Ω

time = 2.90 s

magnetic field  = 1.90 T to 0.500 T

solution

we get Induced EMF that is

E = - dφ ÷ dt    ..............1

E = - N × A × (B2 - B1) ÷ Δt

E = N × A × (B1 - B2) ÷ Δt

area of cross section of the coil A = π × r²

area of cross section = 3.14 × (0.27)²

area of cross section = 0.228 m²

Initial magnetic field B1   = 1.9 T

and  

Final magnetic field B2   = 0.5 T

time      Δt = 3.7 s

put here value and we get

E  =  \frac{18 \times 0.228 \times (1.9-0.5)}{2.90}  

E  = 1.98 V

and  

Induced current I is express as

Induced current I = E  ÷ R    ................2

Induced current I = \frac{1.98}{4.5}

Induced current I = 0.44 A
