In the year 1178. five monks at Canterbury Cathedral in England observed what appeared to be an asteroid colliding with the moon

, causing a red glow in and around it. It is hypothesized that this event created the crater Giordano Bruno, which is right on the edge of the area we can usually see from Earth. How long after the asteroid hit the Moon, which is 3.84 x 10^5 km away, would the light first arrive on Earth in seconds?

Answer: 1.28 sec

Explanation:

Assuming that the glow following the collision was produced instantaneously, as the light propagates in a straight line from Moon to the Earth at a constant speed, we can get the time traveled by the light applying velocity definition as follows:

V = ∆x / ∆t

Solving for ∆t, we have:

∆t = ∆x/v = ∆x/c = 3.84 108 m / 3.8 108 m/s = 1.28 sec

Structures on a bird feather act like a diffraction grating having 8000 8000 lines per centimeter. What is the angle of the firs
sammy [17]

Answer:

Angle of first order maximum, \theta=21.19^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, \lambda=452\ nm=452\times 10^{-9}\ m

Number of lines, N = 8000 per cm

The relation between the number of lines and the slit width is given by :

d=\dfrac{1}{N}

d=\dfrac{1}{8000/cm}  

d=0.000125\ cm=1.25\times 10^{-6}\ m

The equation of grating is given by :

d\ sin\theta=n\lambda

n = 1

sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{d}

sin\theta=\dfrac{452\times 10^{-9}}{1.25\times 10^{-6}}

\theta=21.19^{\circ}

So, the angle of the first-order maximum is 21.19 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 250 kg car has 6875 kg•m/s of momentum. What is it’s velocity?
liraira [26]

Answer:

v = 27.5 m/s

Explanation:

p = m × v

6,875 = 250 × v

250v = 6,875

v = 6,875/250

v = 27.5 m/s

A water rocket can reach a speed of 75 m/s in 0.050 seconds from launch. What is its average acceleration?
yanalaym [24]
A=v/t
So therefore 75/0.050= acceleration
So the answer is a= 1500 metres per second per second

A farm truck travels due east with a constant speed of 9.50 m/s along a horizontal road. A boy riding in the back of the truck t
Reil [10]

Answer:

a)he angle is 90 with respect to the horizontal (x axis)

b) its speed is zero both vertically and horizontally

c)  vertical path

d)  a parabolic movement

e)  v₀ = (9.5i ^ + 8.232 j ^) m / s

Explanation:

This is a relative problem and movement.

            .v ’= v + u

Where v ’is the speed with respect to the mobile system, v the speed with respect to the fixed system and the speed between the two reference systems

a) The child and the can is in the truck, so they go at the speed of the truck, when he throws the can he continues at this speed on the x-axis and therefore as the two advance the same distance the more hands of the child, consequently the can is thrown vertically

The angle is 90 with respect to the horizontal (x axis)

b) with respect to the truck, the can is still, so its speed is zero both vertically and horizontally

c) The child sees that the can follows a vertical path

d) A stationary observer on the ground, sees that the can has a constant speed in the same direction of the truck and when they throw it vertical goal has a vertical movement, the sum of these two movements gives a parabolic movement of the same uncle as a projectile launch

e) the initial speed has two components

X Axis         v_lata = v_camion = 9.5 m / s

Y Axis          speed given by the child

Let's look for the travel time

         x = v₀ₓ t

         t = x / v₀ₓ

         t = 16 / 9.5

         t = 1.68 s

     

         y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

When he returns to the child's hand and = 0

          0 = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

          v_{oy} = ½ g t

          v_{oy} = ½  9.8  1.68

          v_{oy} = 8,232 m / s

Speed ​​is

         v₀ = (9.5i ^ + 8.232 j ^) m / s
