Answer:

Distance = 30 m

Explanation:

Since the position of the bus is at zero, and distance is a scalar quantity. That is, we are only concerned about the magnitude

If Angela ran to the bus and back to where she started, the distance travelled will be:

Distance = 15 + 15 = 30 m

But her displacement will be:

Displacement = 15 - 15 = 0.

Please help me quickly!!!

Hey! So referring to the data the thing we can clearly see is that in a vacuum, everything, regardless of its mass, falls at the same speed.

Acceleration is often confused with speed, or velocity, but the difference is, acceleration by definition is the rate of which an object falls with respect to its mass and time.

Every single thing in the world falls at the same acceleration, this is because of gravity. The difference is the speed of which it falls. In space, there is not any gravity, and so, the objects are able to fall at the same speed regardless of their mass.

A small metal object is tied to the end of a string and whirled round a circular path of radius 30cm. The object makes 20 oscill

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

(i) The angular speed of the small metal object is 25.133 rad/s

(ii) The linear speed of the small metal object is 7.54 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular path, r = 30 cm = 0.3 m

number of revolutions, n = 20

time of motion, t = 5 s

(i) The angular speed of the small metal object is calculated as;

$\omega = \frac{20 \ rev}{5 \ s} \times \frac{2 \pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} = \frac{40\pi \ rad}{5 \ s} = 8\pi \ rad/s = 25.133 \ rad/s$

(ii) The linear speed of the small metal object is calculated as;

$v = \omega r\\\\v = 25.133 \ rad/s \ \times \ 0.3 \ m\\\\v = 7.54 \ m/s$

We see a full moon by reflected sunlight. How much earlier did the light that enters our eye leave the sun? the earth-moon and e

Tju [1.3M]

The time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth will be 8.4 minutes.

To find the answer, we need to know about the distance travelled by light.

<h3>How to find the time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth?</h3>

So, in order to solve this problem, we must first know how far the moon is from Earth and how far the Sun is from the moon.
These distances are given as 3.8×10^5 km (Earth-Moon) and 1.5×10^8 km (Sun- Earth).
Since the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of Earth during a full moon, the light's distance traveled equals,

$d=(1.5*10^8km)+2(3.8*10^5km)=1.51*10^8km=1.51*10^{11}m$

As we know that light travels at a speed of 300,000 km per second. then, the time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth will be,

$t=\frac{1.51*10^{11}}{3*10^8}=503.33 s\\t=\frac{503.33}{60}=8.4min$

Thus, the time it takes for the light from the Sun to reach Earth and be recognized as 8.4 minutes.

a load of 45 N attached to a spring that is hanging vertically stretches the spring 0.14 m. What is the spring constant?

zhenek [66]

According to Hooke's law, Force = spring constant x displacement of the spring. Spring constant = Force/displacement in spring = 45/0.14 = 321.42 N/m. Hope this helps!
