I think there's a typo because the answer I'm getting is very large.

This is what I'm getting

--------------------------------------

c = speed of light

c = 3.0 x 10^8 m/sec approximately

This is roughly 300 million meters per second

The time it takes the signal to reach the aircraft and come back is 1.4 x 10^3 seconds. Half of this time period is going one direction (say from the radar station to the aircraft), so (1.4 x 10^3)/2 = 7.0 x 10^2 seconds is spent going in this one direction.

distance = rate*time

d = r*t

d = (3.0 x 10^8) * (7.0 x 10^2)

d = (3.0*7.0) x (10^8*10^2)

d = 21.0 x 10^(8+2)

d = 21.0 x 10^10

d = (2.1 x 10^1) * 10^10

d = 2.1 x (10^1*10^10)

d = 2.1 x 10^11 meters

d = 210,000,000,000 meters (this is 210 billion meters; equivalent to roughly 130,487,950 miles)

A television weighs 8.50 pounds. How many grams is this? (Hint: You need to
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

3859 grams

Explanation:

Given: Weight of a television = 8.50 pounds

To find: Weight of a television in grams

Solution:

1 pound = 0.454 kg and 1 kg = 1000 g

So,

1 pound = 0.454 × 1000 = 454 grams

8.50 pounds = 8.50 × 454 = 3859 grams

Therefore,

Weight of television in grams = 3859 grams

An object is moving forward with a constant velocity. Which statement about this object MUST be true?
Greeley [361]

If the object's <em>velocity is constant</em> ... (it's speed isn't changing AND it's moving in a straight line) ... then the net force on the object is zero.<em> (D)</em>

Either there are no forces at all acting on the object, OR there are forces on it but they're 'balanced' ... when you add up all of their sizes and directions, they just exactly cancel each other out, and they have the SAME EFFECT on the object as if there were no forces at all.

Three forces are applied to a solid cylinder of mass 12 kg (see the drawing). The magnitudes of the forces are F1 = 15 N, F2 = 2
crimeas [40]

Answer:

α = 13.7 rad / s²

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law for rotational motion

         ∑ τ = I α

         

we will assume that the counterclockwise turns are positive

         F₁  0 + F₂ R₂ - F₃ R₃ = I α

give us the cylinder moment of inertia

        I = ½ M R₂²

         

        α = (F₂ R₂ - F₃ R₃)  \frac{2}{M R_2^2}

let's calculate

        α = (24  0.22 - 13  0.10) \frac{2}{12 \ 0.22^2}2/12 0.22²

        α = 13.7 rad / s²
