Answer:
0.000000002 m=2.0*10⁻⁹ m
Explanation:
Scientific notation allows us to write very large or very small numbers in abbreviated form. This notation simply consists of multiplying by a power of base 10 with a positive or negative exponent.
A number written in scientific notation has the form:
a*10ⁿ
where:
- the coefficient a has a value such that 1 ≤ a <10
- n is an integer. Represents the number of times the decimal point is shifted. It is always a whole number, positive if it is shifted to the left, negative if it is shifted to the right.
So to write the number 0.000000002 in scientific notation, the following steps are performed:
- The decimal point is moved to the right as many spaces until it reaches the right of the first digit.
- This number is then written, which will be the coefficient a in the expression of the previous product. So a=2.0
- The base 10 is written with the exponent equal to the number of spaces that the comma moves. So n=9. But this is a negative number because the comma shifts to the right.
So, you get: <u><em>0.000000002 m=2.0*10⁻⁹ m</em></u>
Answer:
(a)2.7 m/s
(b) 5.52 m/s
Explanation:
The total of the system would be conserved as no external force is acting on it.
Initial momentum = final momentum
⇒(4.30 g × 943 m/s) + (730 g × 0) = (4.30 g × 484 m/s) + (730 g × v)
⇒ 730 ×v = (4054.9 - 2081.2) =1973.7
⇒v=2.7 m/s
Thus, the resulting speed of the block is 2.7 m/s.
(b) since, the momentum is conserved, the speed of the bullet-block center of mass would be constant.
Thus, the speed of the bullet-block center of mass is 5.52 m/s.
Answer:
Maximum altitude above the ground = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km
Explanation:
Using the equations of motion
u = initial velocity of the projectile = 5.5 km/s = 5500 m/s
v = final velocity of the projectile at maximum height reached = 0 m/s
g = acceleration due to gravity = (GM/R²) (from the gravitational law)
g = (6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ × 5.97 × 10²⁴)/(6370000²)
g = -9.82 m/s² (minus because of the direction in which it is directed)
y = vertical distance covered by the projectile = ?
v² = u² + 2gy
0² = 5500² + 2(-9.82)(y)
19.64y = 5500²
y = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km
Hope this Helps!!!
Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract
Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.
