The sun is 1.5 × 108 km from Earth. The index of refraction for water is 1.349. How much longer would it take light from the sun

to reach Earth if the space between them were filled with water rather than a vacuum?

Answer:

175s

Explanation:

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  vacuum

C=light speed=299792458m/s

X=1.5x10^8km=1.5x10^11m

c=X/t

T1=X/c

T1=1.5X10^11/299792458=500.34s

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  water:

First we calculate the speed of light in water taking into account the refractive index

Cw=299792458m/s/1.349=222233104.5m/s

T2=1.5x10^11/222233104.5m/s=675s

additional time it would take for the light to reach the earth

ΔT=T2-T1=675-500=175s

A hot-air balloon and its basket are accelerating upward at 0.265 m/s2, propelled by a net upward force of 688 N. A rope of negl
Sergeu [11.5K]

Question:<em> </em><em>Find, separately, them mass of the balloon and the basket (incidentally, most of the balloon's mass is air)</em>

Answer:

The mass of the balloon is 2295 kg, and the mass of the basket is 301 kg.

Explanation:

Let us call the mass of the balloon m_1 and the mass of the basket m_2, then according to newton's second law:

(1). \:F = (m_1+m_2)a,

where a =0.265m/s^2 is the upward acceleration, and F = 688N is the net propelling force (counts the gravitational force).

Also, the tension T in the rope is 79.8 N more than the basket's weight; therefore,

(2). \:T = m_2g+79.8

and this tension must equal

T -m_2g =m_2a

(3). \:T = m_2g +m_2a

Combining equations (2) and (3) we get:

m_2a = 79.8

since a =0.265m/s^2, we have

\boxed{m_2 = 301.13kg}

Putting this into equation (1) and substituting the numerical values of F and a, we get:

688N = (m_1+301.13kg)(0.265m/s^2)

\boxed{m_1 = 2295 kg}

Thus, the mass of the balloon and the basket is  2295 kg and 301 kg respectively.

When you are on a huge water slide what forces are there? when will you experience a net force?
Pani-rosa [81]
When you are on a huge water slide, the force present as you slide is the gravitational force. It is because the gravity enables you to slide down the water slide. The net force is the overall forces of the object, so as you slide the water slide, you may experience the net force once you slide down with the gravity and water sliding you down.
