3 0

Answer:

0.00001581 light years

Explanation:

distance divided by speed of light= 150,000,000/300,000= 500 seconds 8.3333

8.3 minutes

now divide this by 60 x 24 x 365.25. so you will get answer=  

.000015823 light years.

A radioactive isotope of the element potassium decays to produce argon. If the ratio of argon to potassium is found to be 31:1,
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Argon to potassium ratio after 1 half life = 1:1

After 2 half lives = 75/25= 3:1

After 3 half lives = 87.5/12.5= 7:1

After 4 half lives = 93.75/6.25 = 15:1

After 5 half lives = 96.875/3.125 = 31/1

John runs around a 126.5 m circular track 3.5 times in 4.17 minutes. What is his average speed?
sdas [7]
Average speed = distance traveled / time

average speed  = (126.5 m * 3.5 laps) / (4.17 min)

= 106.2 m/min

If a cart of a roller coaster has a mass of 250kg and is at a height of 14 meters. What is the cart's potential energy?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

3430000 J

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is PE=mgh.

M being the mass, g being the force of gravity, and h being the height.

First thing you want to do is convert 250 kg to g (grams).

From there you get 25000g and you have to multiply that by 14m and 9.8m/s^2 (the force of gravity is constant, at least on earth).

Calculate the orbital speed (in m/s) of a satellite that circles the Earth with a time period of 12.00 hours. The mass of the Ea
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

v = 3869 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the orbital speed of the satellite is given as

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

also we know that

time period of the revolution is given as

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

now from above equation we know that

T = \frac{2\pi (\frac{GM}{v^2})}{v}

T = \frac{2\pi GM}{v^3}

so we will have

v = (\frac{2\pi GM}{T})^{1/3}

now plug in all data in this equation

v = (\frac{2\pi (6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.97 \times 10^{24})}{12 \times 3600})^{1/3}

v = 3869 m/s
