Explanation:

The orbital radius of the Earth is r_1=1.496\times 10^{11}\ m

The orbital radius of the Mercury is r_2=5.79 \times 10^{10}\ m

The orbital radius of the Pluto is r_3=5.91 \times 10^{12}\ m

We need to find the time required for light to travel from the Sun to each of the  three planets.

(a) For Sun -Earth,

Kepler's third law :

T_1^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{GM}r_1^3

M is mass of sun, M=1.989\times 10^{30}\ kg

So,

T_1^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times 1.496\times 10^{11}\\\\T_1=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.989\times10^{30}}\times1.496\times10^{11}}\\\\T_1=2\times 10^{-4}\ s

(b) For Sun -Mercury,

T_2^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times 5.79 \times 10^{10}\ m\\\\T_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.989\times10^{30}}\times 5.79 \times 10^{10}}\ m\\\\T_2=1.31\times 10^{-4}\ s

(c) For Sun-Pluto,

T_3^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times 5.91 \times 10^{12}\\\\T_3=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.989\times10^{30}}\times 5.91 \times 10^{12}}\\\\T_3=1.32\times 10^{-3}\ s

Buttery popcorn contained in a large 1__bowl has a mass of about 50 __<br>and about 650 calories.​
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Buttery popcorn contained in a large 1 liter bowl has a mass of about 50 mg and about 650 calories.

Explanation:

Liter is the most appropriate unit to measure a bowl. Usually 1 liter of liquid has a mass of 1000 gram. Since popcorn is something lightweight and only a few can fill the bowl quickly so 50 mg makes perfect sense with 1 liter of bowl and 650 calories in buttery popcorn.

Describe the Compton Effect​
Nana76 [90]
<h3>Compton scattering, discovered by Arthur Holly Compton, is the scattering of a photon after an interaction with a charged particle, usually an electron. If it results in a decrease in energy of the photon, it is called the Compton effect. Part of the energy of the photon is transferred to the recoiling electron.</h3>

A 25kg chair initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 165 N horizontal force to set it in motion. Once the chair is in
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

\mu_k=0.51  

Explanation:

Given that

Mass , m = 25 kg

We know that when body is in rest condition then static friction force act on the body and when body is in motion the kinetic friction force act on the body .That is why these two forces are given as follows

Static friction force ,fs= 165 N

Kinetic friction force ,fk = 127 N

If the body is moving with constant velocity ,it means that acceleration of that body is zero and all the forces are balanced.

Lets take coefficient of kinetic friction  = μk

The kinetic friction is given as follows

fk = μk  m g

Now by putting the values

127 = μk x 25 x 9.81

\mu_k=\dfrac{127}{25\times 9.81}

\mu_k=0.51

Therefore the value of coefficient of kinetic friction will be 0.51

A man pushes his child in a grocery cart. The total mass of the cart and child is 30.0 kg. If the force of friction on the cart
Ber [7]
Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces applied to an object is equal to the product between the object's mass and its acceleration:
\sum F = ma
where in our problem, m is the mass the (child+cart) and a is the acceleration of the system.

We are only concerned about what it happens on the horizontal axis, so there are two forces acting on the cart+child system: the force F of the man pushing it, and the frictional force F_f acting in the opposite direction. So Newton's second law can be rewritten as
F-F_a = ma
or
F=ma + F_f

since the frictional force is 15 N and we want to achieve an acceleration of a=1.50 m/s^2, we can substitute these values to find what is the force the man needs:
F=(30 kg)(1.5 m/s^2)+15 N=60 N
