speed of signal = 299742 km/s

Explanation:

V=\frac{d}{t}

d= distance=928,000,000 km

t= time=51.6 min= 51.6 (60)= 3096 s

so v= 928,000,000/3096

v=299742 km/s

Hooke's law states that the force, F, in a spring extended by a length x is given by
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

dimensions of k are  kg / s^2

Explanation:

F=ma   (Newton's second law)

F=-kx   (Hooke's law)

so equate both

-kx = ma

k = -ma/x

= mass * acceleration / distance  (dimensions, -1 has no dimension)

= kg * m/s^2 / m

= kg / s^2

A switch that connects a battery to a 30μf capacitor is closed. several seconds later you find that the capacitor plates are cha
Elanso [62]
You can find the emf of the battery by using:

Q = CV.

Q = Charge in capacitor plates = 30μC
C = Capacitance of the capacitor = 30μF

V = Q/C = 30/30 = 1V

Ans: The emf of the battery = 1V.

3. Two cyclists that are 500 m apart start biking toward each other. They bike at speeds of 6 and
Veronika [31]

Answer:

A) 50 seconds

B) 200 m

Explanation:

They are 500 metres apart.

And one of the bike loves at 6 m/s while the other loves at 4 m/s.

A) Let distance of the 6 m/s bike before they meet be x.

Thus, time = x/6

Since time = distance/speed

For the second bike at 4 m/s, his distance covered before they meet will be 500 - x

Thus, time = (500 - x)/4

Now they will meet each other at the same time. Thus;

x/6 = (500 - x)/4

Cross multiply to get;

4x = 3000 - 6x

6x + 4x = 3000

10x = 3000

x = 3000/10

x = 300 m

Thus, time will be;

t = 300/6

t = 50 seconds

B) Distance covered by the slower bike is (500 - x)

Since from a above, x = 300

Thus; distance = 500 - 300 = 200 m
