Answer:

It takes 1600 seconds or \frac{4}{9} hours to travel a distance of 20 km.

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of the motorcycle, v=45\textrm{ km/h}

Distance traveled by the motorcycle, D=20\textrm{ km}

We know that,

Distance = \frac{Speed}{Time}

∴ Time =\frac{Distance}{Speed}=\frac{D}{v}

Plug in 20 km for D and 45 km/h for v. Solve for time.

⇒ Time = \frac{20}{45}=\frac{4}{9}\textrm{ h}=\frac{4}{9}\times 3600=1600\textrm{ s}

Therefore, the time taken to travel a distance of 20 km is 1600 seconds or \frac{4}{9} hours.

How would gravity cause planets to move if they did not have inertia?
daser333 [38]
I’d think the answer would be C. i’m just kinda guessing but my thought process is this (as simply as i can put it because physics is confusing):

so for example say you throw a ball across a flat surface. inertia is what keeps the ball rolling straight in a line, so unless you were to maybe put your hand in front of the ball or something, it would just go straight forever.

this is what happens with the planets. they go in a straight line, but since there’s gravity, the planets are also being pulled towards the sun. so gravity and inertia are why the planets orbit in the circle pattern they do. so when we remove inertia, we’re removing the state in which the planets keep going straight while being pulled towards a center point (the sun). this causes gravity to be the only factor in the planets orbiting. so that being said, the planets would just be pulled towards the sun. :)

Pluto has been reassigned and is now a dwarf planet. Why did scientists think this reassignment was necessary? If you were a sci
never [62]
Pluto was discovered by the astronomer Clyde Tombaugh in February 1930. It was given the status of the ninth planet of the solar system.
As telescopes, particularly in on satellites, improved, more objects were discovered which caused a problem that they were quite small and some astronomers didn't think they qualified as being planets.
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) had a vote which was very close. They defined three criteria which a planet must satisfy.
It must be large enough for gravity to overcome structures of materials and make it spherical. Most bodies are flattened spheroids due to rotation.
It must orbit the Sun.
It must have cleared its orbit of other bodies other than moons.
The IAU created a new definition of an object called a dwarf planet which only satisfies the first two criteria. Pluto fails the third criterion, so it was demoted to a dwarf planet.
Many people, including myself, still consider Pluto to be the ninth planet.
To be pedantic, Jupiter has a lot of asteroids in its orbit at its two Lagrange points. They are called trojan asteroids. So, this means that Jupiter fails the IAU's third criterion and should be a dwarf planet, which it is certainly not!

A 100 kg cart accelerates at 0.50 meters per second squared west as the horse exerts a force of 60 newtons west on the cart what
mojhsa [17]
<span>Newton's third law of motion (also known as lar of action-reaction) states that when an object A exertes a force on another object B, object B also exerts a force on object A equal and opposite to the first force. If we apply the law to this problem, we can say that the force exerted by the car on the horse is equal to the force exerted by the horse on the car, so its magnitude is 60 N.</span>

A light-emitting diode (LED) connected to a 3.0 V power supply emits 440 nm blue light. The current in the LED is 11 mA , and th
zimovet [89]

Answer:

3.73 * 10^16   photons/sec

Explanation:

power supply = 3.0 V

Emits 440 nm blue light

current in LED = 11 mA

efficiency of LED = 51%

<u>Calculate the number of photons per second the LED will emit </u>

first step : calculate the energy of the Photon

E = hc / λ

   =(  6.62 * 10^-34 * 3 * 10^8 )  / 440 * 10^-9

   = 0.0451 * 10^-17  J

Next :

Number of Photon =( power supply * efficiency * current ) / energy of photon

= ( 3 * 0.51 * 11 * 10^-3 ) / 0.0451 * 10^-17

= 3.73 * 10^16 photons/sec
