A human-operated spaceship reaches the moon in 3 days. The moon is about 386,400 km from Earth. Mars, our closest planetary neig

hbor, is, at its closest, about 140 times farther away from us than the moon if Mars stays in place. Assuming a very simple model of the solar system, about how long would it take that same spaceship to reach Mars?(1 point) about 22.5 years about 1 year about 2.5 years about 7.5 years

Answer:

About 1 year.

Explanation:

Since the spacecraft travels the 386,400 kilometers of distance between the Earth and the Moon in 3 days, and the planet Mars is 140 times further from the Earth than the Moon, to obtain the time it will take for the same spacecraft to reach Mars must perform the following calculation:

140 x 3 = 420 days

If a year has 365 days, the travel time that said spacecraft would take to reach Mars would be just under 1 year and 2 months.

A 6 kg cart starting from rest rolls down a hill and at the bottom has a speed of 10 m/s. What is the height of the hill?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

h = 5.09 m

Explanation:

Applying the Law of conservation of energy to this situation, we can write:

Kinetic\ Energy\ Gained\ by\ the\ Cart = Potential\ Energy\ Lost\ by\ the\ Cart\\\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh\\\\h = \frac{v^2}{2g}

where,

h = height of the hill = ?

v = speed of cart at the end = 10 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

h = \frac{(10\ m/s)^2}{(2)(9.81\ m/s^2)}\\\\

<u>h = 5.09 m</u>

What magnification would be obtained if an eyepiece with a focal length of 0.38 m was placed on telescope?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because the telescope's focal length was not provided. The formula to be used here is

Magnification = telescope's focal length/eyepiece's focal length

The eyepiece's focal length was provided in the question as 0.38 m.

NOTE: Magnification can be described as the power of an instrument (in this case telescope) to enlarge an object. It has no unit and thus the two focal lengths mentioned in the formula above must be in the same unit (preferably meters since one of them is in meters already).

A fish scale, consisting of a spring with spring constant k=200N/m, is hung vertically from the ceiling. A 2.6 kg fish is attach
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

The fish is initially at rest and it is also at rest when the spring is fully stretched at the maximum distance.

Change in gravity potential energy = change in spring potential energy

mgh = 1/2kh^2

Assume gravity constant g is 10m/s^2

2.6*10*h = 1/2*200*h^2

100h^2 - 26h = 0

2h(50h - 13) = 0

h = 0 or h = 13/50 = 0.65m

h = 0 is before the spring is stretched

So the maximum distance is 0.65m.
