Answer:

906.27931 years

8.34 minutes

2.56266 seconds

Explanation:

v = Velocity of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

s = Distance

Time is given by

t=\dfrac{s}{v}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{8.58\times 10^{18}}{3\times 10^8\times 365.25\times 24\times 3600}\\\Rightarrow t=906.27931\ years

We would see the star disappear after 906.27931 years after it actually disappeared.

Distance between Earth and Sun = 150.18 billion m

t=\dfrac{150.18\times 10^9}{3\times 10^8\times 60}\\\Rightarrow t=8.34\ minutes

It takes 8.34 minutes for sunlight to reach Earth.

Distance between Earth and Moon = 384.4 million m

t=\dfrac{2\times 384.4\times 10^6}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow t=2.56266\ s

It takes 2.56266 seconds for a microwave radar signal to travel from Earth to the Moon and back.

Answer:

A×B=C×D

500×0.5=250×X

250=250×X

X=250/250=1

X=1 m

Explanation:

note: if the force plus two, the distance will be half.

A velocity selector in a mass spectrometer uses a 0.150 T magnetic field. (a) What electric field strength (in volts per meter)
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The electric field strength is 6.6\times10^{5}\ V/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnetic field = 0.150 T

Speed v= 4.40\times10^{6}\ m/s

We need to calculate the electric field strength

Using formula of velocity

v=\dfrac{E}{B}

E=v\times B

Where, v = speed

B = magnetic field

Put the value into the formula

E=4.40\times10^{6}\times0.150

E=660000\ V/m

E=6.6\times10^{5}\ V/m

Hence, The electric field strength is 6.6\times10^{5}\ V/m

A playground carousel is free to rotate about its center on frictionless bearings, and air resistance is negligible. The carouse
Sidana [21]

Answer:

m = 35.98 Kg ≈ 36 Kg

Explanation:

I₀ = 125 kg·m²

R₁ = 1.50 m

ωi = 0.600 rad/s

R₂ = 0.905 m

ωf = 0.800 rad/s

m = ?

We can apply The law of conservation of angular momentum as follows:

Linitial = Lfinal

⇒    Ii*ωi = If*ωf   <em>(I)</em>

where    

Ii = I₀ + m*R₁² = 125 + m*(1.50)² = 125 + 2.25*m

If = I₀ + m*R₂² = 125 + m*(0.905)² = 125 + 0.819025*m

Now, we using the equation <em>(I) </em>we have

(125 + 2.25*m)*0.600 = (125 + 0.819025*m)*0.800

⇒  m = 35.98 Kg ≈ 36 Kg
