A comet is cruising through the Solar System at a speed of 50,000 kilometers per hour for 4.5 hours time. What is the total dist

ance traveled by the comet during this time?

PSYCHO15rus [73]3 years ago

Answer:

The total distance traveled by the comet is 225000 [km]

Explanation:

In order to determine the travel distance we must use the following kinematics equation:

x = v*t

where:

x = distance traveled [km]

v = velocity = 50000 [km/h]

t = time = 4.5 [h]

x = 50000*4.5 = 225000 [km]

How do your results from ray tracing compare to your results from using the thin-lens equation?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

20cm

Explanation:

A convex lens has a positive focal length and the object placed in front of it produce both virtual and real image <em>(image distance can be negative or positive depending on the nature of the image</em>).

According to the lens equation

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v} where;

f is the focal length  of the lens

u is the object distance

v is the image distance

If the magnification is - 0.6

mag = v/u = -0.5

v = -0.5u

since v = 10cm

10 = -0.5u

u = -10/0.5

u =-20 cm

Substitute u = -20cm ( due to negative magnification)and v = 10cm into the lens formula to get the focal length f

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-20} + \frac{1}{10}\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-20} + \frac{1}{10}\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{-1+2}{20} \\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{20} \\cross \ multiply\\f = 20\\f = 20 cm

Hence the focal length of the convex lens is 20cm

A student took a calibrated 250.0 gram mass, weighed it on a laboratory balance, and found it read 266.5 g. What was the student
Kruka [31]

Answer:

B. 6.6%

Explanation:

The percentage error of a measurement can be calculated using the formula;

Percent error = (experimental value - accepted value / accepted value) × 100

In this question, the calibrated 250.0 gram mass is the accepted value while the weighed mass of 266.5 g is the experimental or measured value.

Hence, the percentage error can be calculated thus;

Percent error = (266.5-250.0/250.0) × 100

Percent error = 16.5/250 × 100

Percent error = 0.066 × 100

Percent error = 6.6%

A skier of mass 60 kg is pulled up a slope by a motor-driven cable. (a) How much work is required to pull him 75 m up a 30° slop
postnew [5]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of skier=60 kg

distance traveled by skier=75 m

inclination(\theta )=30^{\circ}

speed (v)=2.4 m/s

as the skier is moving up with a constant velocity therefore net force is zero

F_{net}=0

Force applied by cable=mg\sin \theta

F=60\times 9.8\times \sin (30)=294 N

work done=F\cdot x

W=294\cdot 75=22.125 J

(b)Power=F\cdot v

P=294\cdot 2.4=705.6 W\approx 0.946 hp

Which of these are scientific questions? Check all that apply. How will climate change affect forests? Which planet is the prett
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The scientific questions here are:

<em>a) How will climate change affect forests</em>

<em>b) How did life on Earth begin</em>

<em>c) Why did dinosaurs go extinct</em>

Explanation:

Scientific question are logical quantifiable questions, whose answers can be measured. A good scientific question must have answers that can be tested by a carefully designed experiment or measurement. Some qualities like "prettiest" and "amazing" cannot be tested for nor are they measurable, and hence, they do not make a testable component of good scientific question.
