Answer:

7.5 km/h (2.1 m/s) due east

Explanation:

The average velocity of the person is given by:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

d is the displacement

t is the time taken

In this problem,

d = 15 km is the displacement

t = 2.0 h is the time elapsed

so the average velocity is

$v=\frac{15 km}{2.0 h}=7.5 km/h$

and the direction is the same as the displacement (east).

We can also convert the velocity into SI units (m/s). We have:

d = 15 km = 15,000 m

t = 2.0 h * 3600 s/h = 7200 s

$v=\frac{15,000 m}{7200 s}=2.1 m/s$

Explain the process of refraction of light

brilliants [131]

The process of refraction of light occurs when light rays bends when travelling between media of different densities.

What is refraction of light?

Refraction of light is the bending of light rays or the change in the direction of light rays as it travels between media of different densities.

Light waves travel faster in media of less density than media of more density.

The change in density of the media makes light waves to be bend towards or away from the normal.

For example, when light travels from less dense air to more dense water, the light rays are bent towards the normal. However, when light rays travel from water to air, the light rays are refracted away from the normal.

In conclusion, refraction of light waves occur when light crosses the boundary of media of different densities.

What is something the screw can do that the other simple machines can't

Naya [18.7K]

Geometrically, a screw can be viewed as a narrow inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. Like the other simple machines a screw can amplify force; a small rotational force (torque) on the shaft can exert a large axial force on a load.

Suppose that a comet that was seen in 563 A.D. by Chinese astronomers was spotted again in year 1951. Assume the time between ob

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

$a=2.77*10^{13}m$

$R_a=5.49*10^{13}m$

Explanation:

The period of the comet is the time it takes to do a complete orbit:

T=1951-(-563)=2514 years

writen in seconds:

$2514years*\frac{3,154*10^7s}{1year}=7.93 *10^{10}s$

Since the eccentricity is greater than 0 but lower than 1 you can know that the trajectory is an ellipse.

Therefore, if the mass of the sun is aprox. 1.99e30 kg, and you assume it to be much larger than the mass of the comet, you can use Kepler's law of periods to calculate the semimajor axis:

$T^2=\frac{4\pi^2}{Gm_{sun}}a^3\\ a=\sqrt[3]{\frac{Gm_{sun}T^2}{4\pi^2} } \\a=1.50*10^{6}m$

Then, using the law of orbits, you can calculate the greatest distance from the sun, which is called aphelion:

$R_a=a(1+e)\\R_a=2.77*10^{13}(1.986)\\R_a=5.49*10^{13}m$
