In order to answer this, we will set up a simple ratio as such:
1 calorie = 4.184 joules
1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories
1 kilocalorie = 4,184 joules
250 kilocalories = x joules
Cross multiplying the second and third equations, we get:
x joules = 4,184 * 250
250 kilocalories are equivalent to 1,046 kJ
Answer:
a. Light pollution refers to light used for human activities that brightens the sky and hinders astronomical observations.
Explanation:
Light pollution is due to the excessive and misdirected use of artificial light. Light bulbs are often design in an incorrect way, since a great part of its light is not completely directed to the ground and an important percentage is emitted to the sky in where will be scattered and reflected back to ground by the particles in the atmosphere. That brings as an effect a sky glow, therefore the visibility of astronomical objects will be extremely reduce.
Hence, professional astronomical research and amateur observations will be affected. Light pollution has a negative impact on bird migration at night and in the health of difference species, humans also.
Answer:
230 m/s northeast, 1.8 m/s up
Explanation:
204 kilometres = 204000 metres
15.0 minutes = 900 seconds
Velocity = Distance / Time
= 204000 / 900
= 230 m/s northeast (to 2 sf.)
1.6km = 1600 metres
Velocity = 1600 / 900
= 1.8 m/s up (to 2 sf.)

Answer:
≈ 2.1 R
Explanation:
The moment of inertia of the bodies can be calculated by the equation
I = ∫ r² dm
For bodies with symmetry this tabulated, the moment of inertia of the center of mass
Sphere
= 2/5 M R²
Spherical shell
= 2/3 M R²
The parallel axes theorem allows us to calculate the moment of inertia with respect to different axes, without knowing the moment of inertia of the center of mass
I =
+ M D²
Where M is the mass of the body and D is the distance from the center of mass to the axis of rotation
Let's start with the spherical shell, axis is along a diameter
D = 2R
Ic =
+ M D²
Ic = 2/3 MR² + M (2R)²
Ic = M R² (2/3 + 4)
Ic = 14/3 M R²
The sphere
Is =
+ M [
²
Is = Ic
2/5 MR² + M
² = 14/3 MR²
² = R² (14/3 - 2/5)
= √ (R² (64/15)
= 2,066 R
