On a trolley ride around an amusement park, a child travelled from one signpost to a second signpost at a constant speed of 125

meters per minute. Was the distance that the child travelled from the first signpost to the second signpost greater than 0.8km? (1km = 1,000meters)
1) It took less than 450 seconds for the child to travel from the first signpost to the second signpost

2) It took more than 400 seconds for the child to travel from the first signpost to the second signpost

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed given = 125 m /min

125 /60 m /s

In 450 second it will travel

= 450 x 125 / 60

=937.5 m.  

As the distance  is covered in less than 450 seconds , The distance must be less than 937.5 m

In 400 seconds , it will travel

= 400 x 125 / 60

833.33 m

Since the distance is covered in more than 400 seconds , the distance must be more than ie 833.33 .

Hence the distance covered is more than .833 m but less than 937.5

In either case these distance are more than .8 km .

On a certain planet, which is perfectly spherically symmetric, the free-fall acceleration has magnitude g = go at the north pole
ohaa [14]
The reason why there is a difference between free-fall acceleration is a centrifugal force.
I attached a diagram that shows how this force aligns with the force of gravity.
From the diagram we can see that:
F=F_g-F_{cf}=mg'-mw^2r'cos(\alpha)\\ ma=mg'-mw^2r'cos(\alpha)\\ a=g'-w^2rcos^2(\alpha)\\
Where g' is the free-fall acceleration when there is no centrifugal force, r is the radius of the planet, and w is angular frequency of planet's rotation. \alpha is the latitude.
We can calculate g' and wr^2 from the given conditions in the problem.
g(90)=g_0;\ g_0= g'-w^2rcos^2(90)\\
g_0=g'\\
g(0)=ag_0;\ ag_0=g_0-w^2rcos^2(0)\\
ag_0=g_0-w^2r\\
w^2r=g_0(a-1)

Our final equation is:
g=g_0-g_0(a-1)cos^2(\alpha)
Colatitude is:
\alpha_c=90^\circ-\alpha
The answer is:
g=g_0-g_0(a-1)cos^2(90-9)=g_0-g_0(a-1)sin^2(9)

An electric light is plugged into a 120-V outlet. If the current in the bulb is 0.50 A, how much electrical energy does the bulb
ioda

Answer:

= 54,000 Joules or 54 kJ

Explanation:

Electrical energy is given by the formula;

E = VIt; where V is the potential difference in volts, I is the current and t is the time in seconds.

Therefore;

Electrical energy = 120 V × 0.50 A × 15 ×60 seconds

                            = 54,000 Joules

Thus; the electrical energy is 54,000 joules or 54 kJ

Fill in the blank. Consider the inverse square law: When light leaves a light bulb, it spreads out over more and more space as i
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Intensity of light is inversely proportional to distance from source

I ∝ 1 /r²  where I is intensity and r is distance from source . If I₁ and I₂ be intensity at distance r₁ and r₂ .

I₁ /I₂ = r₂² /r₁²

If r₂ = 4r₁ ( given )

I₁ / I₂ = (4r₁ )² / r₁²

= 16 r₁² / r₁²

I₁ / I₂ = 16

I₂ = I₁ / 16

So intensity will become 16 times less bright .

"16 times " is the answer .

Which of the following statements are true? Select all correct responses. Choose all that apply. Choose all that apply. The tota
Ne4ueva [31]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

-The total momentum of an isolated system is constant.

-The total momentum of any number of particles is equal to the vector sum of the momenta of the individual particles.

-The vector sum of forces acting on a particle equals the rate of change of momentum of the particle with respect to time.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Momentum is a vector quantity, and therefore we need to use vector addition when summing together the momenta of the multiple bodies which make up a system.
  • The vector sum of forces acting on a particle is equivalent to the rate of change of momentum of the particle with respect to time. This is according to the Newton's second Law of motion. In mathematical terms, ֿF = d ֿp/dt, that is F= ma.
  • According to the Law of conservation of Momentum, or a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.
