Two astronauts are 2.00 m apart in their spaceship. One speaks to the other. The conversation is transmitted to earth via electr

omagnetic waves. The time it takes for sound waves to travel at 354 m/s through the air between the astronauts equals the time it takes for the electromagnetic waves to travel to the earth. How far away from the earth is the spaceship?

Answer:

D=1693742.7m

Explanation:

For sound waves we have v=d/t where v is the speed of sound and d the distance between the astronauts, while for electromagnetic waves we have c=D/t where c is the speed of light and D the distance between the spaceship and Earth. <em>We have written both times as the same</em> because is what is imposed by the problem, so we have t=d/v=D/c, which means:

D=\frac{dc}{v}

And for our values:

D=\frac{(2m)(299792458m/s)}{354m/s}=1693742.7m

A particle moving along the x-axis has its velocity described by the function vx =2t2m/s, where t is in s. its initial position
Nesterboy [21]

The position of the object at time t =2.0 s is <u>6.4 m.</u>

Velocity vₓ of a body is the rate at which the position x of the object changes with time.

Therefore,

v_x= \frac{dx}{dt}

Write an equation for x.

dx=v_xdt\\ x=\int v_xdt

Substitute the equation for vₓ =2t² in the integral.

x=\int v_xdt\\ =\int2t^2dt\\ =\frac{2t^3}{3} +C

Here, the constant of integration is C and it is determined by applying initial conditions.

When t =0, x = 1. 1m

x= \frac{2t^3}{3} +C\\ x_0=1.1\\ x= (\frac{2t^3}{3} +1.1)m

Substitute 2.0s for t.

x= (\frac{2t^3}{3} +1.1)m\\ =\frac{2(2.0)^3}{3} +1.1\\ =6.43 m

The position of the particle at t =2.0 s is <u>6.4m</u>

The primary reason a light bulb emits light is due to
Mashutka [201]
<span>The primary reason a light bulb emits light is due to the heating of the resistance in the filament of the light bulb. In fact, the power dissipated in a resistor is given by
</span>P=I^2 R
<span>where I is the current and R the resistance. The larger the resistance or the current in the resistor, the larger the power dissipated. Due to this dissipation of power, the temperature of the filament becomes very high, and the resistance becomes incandescent, emitting light.</span>

A 50 Ohm resistance causes a current of 5 milliamps to flow through a circuit connected to a battery. What is the power in the c
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:0.00125 watts

Explanation:

resistance=50 ohms

Current=5 milliamps

Current=5/1000 milliamps

Current =0.005 amps

power=(current)^2 x (resistance)

Power=(0.005)^2 x 50

Power=0.005 x 0.005 x 50

Power=0.00125 watts
