Mainly because he was Johnny Carson's advisor and consultant
on space, astronomy, and science in general, and he appeared
on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson many times.
The following that describes how outer space, air, and
glass affect the speed of light is that light travels fastest through outer space, it travels somewhat slower though
air, and of these three, it travels the slowest through glass. The answer is
letter B.
The hint is "constant speed".
If there is a net force on an object, what occurs to that object? F net = m*a.... It accelerates!
So, if the desk is going at a CONSTANT speed, what does that tell you about the acceleration? There is a change in speed.
Fnet = m*a Since a = 0 Fnet = 0
Fnet = sum of the force... reflect the direction of F as the positive direction. Sum of the forces in the direction of F = 0 0 = F - friction F = friction
So, if F = 800 N, then friction = 800 N in the opposite direction.
Answer:
H=1020.12m
Explanation:
From a balance of energy:
where H is the height it reached, d is the distance it traveled along the ramp and Ff = μk*N.
The relation between H and d is given by:
H = d*sin(30) Replace this into our previous equation:

From a sum of forces:
N -mg*cos(30) = 0 => N = mg*cos(30) Replacing this:
Now we can solve for d:
d = 2040.23m
Thus H = 1020.12m
