Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

                   =      (76.8 mi/hr)    /       (7.62 sec)

                   =        10.08  mile/hour-second

That quantity is a perfectly good acceleration, it has the right
dimensions etc, but the question asks for it in units of meter/s²,
so I have to convert it to the equivalent in meter/s².

         (10.8  mile / hr-sec) x (1,609 meter/mile) x (1 hr / 3600 sec)

      =   (10.8 · 1,609 · 1) / (3,600)       meter / second²

      =        4.83 meter / second²   if you round all the numbers as you go
or 
                4.51 meter/sec² 
   if you use a calculator and don't round anything

Light travels at a speed of close to 3 x 10^5 km/s in vacuum. Given that it takes light 8 min and 19 s to travel the distance fr
never [62]

Answer:

1497×10⁵ km

Explanation:

Speed of light in vacuum = 3×10⁵ km/s

Time taken by the light of the Sun to reach the Earth = 8 min and 19 s

Converting to seconds we get

8×60+19 = 499 seconds

Distance = Speed × Time

\text{Distance}=3\times 10^5\times 499\\\Rightarrow \text{Distance}=1497\times 10^5\ km

1 AU = 1497×10⁵ km

The Sun is 1497×10⁵ km from Earth

A real power supply can be modeled as an ideal EMF of 60 Volts in series with an internal resistance. The voltage across the ter
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

5 ohms

Explanation:

Given:

EMF of the ideal battery (E) = 60 V

Voltage across the terminals of the battery (V) = 40 V

Current across the terminals (I) = 4 A

Let the internal resistance be 'r'.

Now, we know that, the voltage drop in the battery is given as:

V_d=Ir

Therefore, the voltage across the terminals of the battery is given as:

V= E-V_d\\\\V=E-Ir

Now, rewriting in terms of 'r', we get:

Ir=E-V\\\\r=\frac{E-V}{I}

Plug in the given values and solve for 'r'. This gives,

r=\frac{60-40}{4}\\\\r=\frac{20}{4}\\\\r=5\ ohms

Therefore, the internal resistance of the battery is 5 ohms.

two soccer players run toward each other. one player has a mass of 85 kg and runs west with a speed of 8 m/s, while the other ha
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Total momentum, p = 55 kg-m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of player 1, m₁ = 85 kg

Mass of player 2, m₂ = 105 kg

Speed of player 1, v₁ = -8 m/s (west)

Speed of player 2, v₂ = 7 m/s (east)

Momentum is equal to the product of mass and velocity. For this system, momentum is given by :

p=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

p=85\ kg\times (-8\ m/s)+105\ kg\times 7\ m/s

p = 55 kg-m/s

The total momentum of the system made up of the two players is 55 kg-m/s.
