How long would it take to travel one light year?

1 answer:

5 0

It depends on what speed you are going at. Assuming you are in our fastest spacecraft as of now which has a speed of 17,500 mph
1 light second = 186,282 mph
There are 31,536,000 in one year so 17,500x=31,534,000 and your answer would be in years. It would take you roughly 1802 years.

Four 50-g point masses are at the corners of a square with 20-cm sides. What is the moment of inertia of this system about an ax

deff fn [24]

Answer:

moment of inertia I ≈ 4.0 x 10⁻³ kg.m²

Explanation:

given

point masses = 50g = 0.050kg

note: m₁=m₂=m₃=m₄=50g = 0.050kg

distance, r, from masses to eachother = 20cm = 0.20m

the distance, d, of each mass point from the centre of the mass, using pythagoras theorem is given by

= (20√2)/ 2 = 10√2 cm =14.12 x 10⁻² m

moment of inertia is a proportion of the opposition of a body to angular acceleration about a given pivot that is equivalent to the entirety of the products of every component of mass in the body and the square of the component's distance from the center

mathematically,

I = ∑m×d²

remember, a square will have 4 equal points

I = ∑m×d² = 4(m×d²)

I = 4 × 0.050 × (14.12 x 10⁻² m)²

I = 0.20 × 1.96 × 10⁻²

I = 3.92 x 10⁻³ kg.m²

I ≈ 4.0 x 10⁻³ kg.m²

A large piece of jewelry has a mass of 132.6 g. a graduated cylinder initially contains 48.6 ml water. when the jewelry is subme

Lerok [7]

The density of the substance is 10.5 g/cm³.

The jewelry is made out of Silver.

Density ρ is defined as the ratio of mass m of the substance to its volume V. The cylinder contains a volume V₁ of water and when the jewelry is immersed in it, the total volume of water and the jewelry is found to be V₂.

The volume V of the jewelry is given by,

$V=V_2 -V_1$
