A comet is cruising through the solar system at a speed of 50,000 kilometers per hour foe 4 hours time. What is the total distan

ce traveled by the comet during that time
Physics

Triss [41]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<em>The distance covered by comet is </em>200,000 km

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the rate of change of distance with time. It is given by the equation speed= \bold{\frac{distance}{time}}

Thus distance= speed*time

In this problem it is given that speed of comet= \frac{50,000km}{hr}

time travelled by the comet= 4 hours

Thus distance= speed*time

                            = 500000*4

                            = \bold{200,000km}

A 2.6 kg mass attached to a light string rotates on a horizontal,
Ainat [17]

The maximum speed the mass can have before it breaks is 2.27 m/s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>maximum mass the string can support before breaking, m = 17.9 kg</em>
  • <em>radius of the circle, r = 0.525 m</em>

The maximum speed the mass can have before it breaks is calculated as follows;

T = ma_c\\\\Mg = \frac{Mv^2}{r} \\\\v^2 = rg\\\\v = \sqrt{rg} \\\\v_{max} = \sqrt{0.525 \times 9.8} \\\\v_{max} = 2.27 \ m/s

Thus, the maximum speed the mass can have before it breaks is 2.27 m/s.

A light wave moves from diamond (n= 2.4) into water (n= 1.33) at an angleof 24°. what angle does it have in water?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2      Snell's Law       (θ1 is the angle of incidence)

sin θ2 = n1 / n2 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 2.4 / 1.33 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 1.80 * .407 = .734

θ2 = 47.2 deg

A sound source is moving at 80 m/s toward a stationary listener that is standing in still air (a) Find the wavelength of the sou
Setler [38]

Answer:

a. wavelength of the sound, \vartheta = 1.315\vartheta_{o}

b. observed frequecy, \lambda = 0.7604\lambda_{o}

Given:

speed of sound source, v_{s} = 80 m/s

speed of sound in air or vacuum, v_{a} = 343 m/s

speed of sound observed, v_{o} = 0 m/s

Solution:

From the relation:

v = \vartheta \lambda        (1)

where

v = velocity of sound

\vartheta = observed frequency of sound

\lambda = wavelength

(a) The wavelength of the sound between source and the listener is given by:

\lambda = \frac{v_{a}}{\vartheta }         (2)

(b) The observed frequency is given by:

\vartheta = \frac{v_{a}}{v_{a} - v_{s}}\vartheta_{o}

\vartheta = \frac{334}{334 - 80}\vartheta_{o}

\vartheta = 1.315\vartheta_{o}                (3)

Using eqn (2) and (3):

\lambda = \frac{334}{1.315} = \frac{1}{1.315}\frac{v_{a}}{\vartheta_{o}}

\lambda = 0.7604\lambda_{o}

molecular cloud <interstellar cloud <1 Msun protostar <1 Msun star <intercloud gas

Explanation:

<u>Molecular cloud-</u> They are a variety of interstellar cloud in which molecular hydrogen can sustain themselves. They have a very low temperature ranging from -440 to -370 degrees Fahrenheit or between<u> 10 to 50 Kelvin. </u>Owing to their extremely low temperature, they appear mostly dark when viewed through telescopes.

<u>Interstellar cloud-</u> They are a congregation of a large number of interstellar gases, dust and plasma in any galaxy or universe. They have varying temperature depending on their proximity to a star. E.g. Neutral hydrogen atom clouds have a temperature of around <u>just 100 Kelvin</u> while those in the near vicinity of a star have temperatures as high as 10,000 Kelvin.

<u>1 Msun star-</u> These stars have temperature anywhere between <u>5300 and 6000 Kelvin</u>. The main source of such high surface temperature is nuclear fusion process where elemental hydrogen molecules are fused to form helium molecules.  

<u>1 Msun protostar-</u> protostar is rather a young star which is still in formation phase (i.e. gathering mass from the parent molecular cloud). They have temperature anywhere between <u>2000-3000</u> kelvin and are accompanied by dust usually.

<u>Intercloud gas- </u>These are the remainder gases that are spread throughout the interstellar space. This Intercloud gas is divided into warm intercloud medium and extremely hot coronal gas with temperatures comparing to Sun’s corona. Warm intercloud forms the dominant part of intercloud gas with a temperature around <u>8000 Kelvin</u>.
