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.

A car turns a certain curve of radius 24.98 m with constant linear speed of
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

3525.19 kg

Explanation:

The computation of the mass of the car is shown below:

As we know that

Fc = m × V^2 ÷ R

m = Fc × R ÷ V^2

Provided that:

Fc = 34.652 kN = 34652 N

R = Radius = 24.98 m

V = speed = 15.67 m/s

So,

m = 34652 × 24.98 ÷ 15.67^2

 = 3525.19 kg

Answer:

Momentum is given by

v

. Impulse is the change of momentum,

I

=

and is also equal to force times time:

I

This is called the impulse:

The negative sign just means the force acting is in the opposite direction to the initial momentum.

(This will be the average force acting during the collision: collisions are chaotic so the force is unlikely to be constant.)

A box has the dimensions of 50 cm × 30 cm × 15 cm, weighs 150 N, and is to be
nadezda [96]

The surface can only withstand a pressure Face A (50cm × 30cm) and Face C (50cm × 15cm) as the surface can only withstand a pressure of 0.25 N/cm³.

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

The physical force used to apply pressure to an object is defined as such. Per square inch of an object, a force is applied perpendicularly to its surface. For pressure, the fundamental formula is F/A. (Force per unit area). The Pascal is the unit of pressure (Pa).

The four different types of pressure are absolute, atmospheric, differential, and gauge pressure. Have you ever noticed that when you use a straw to drink something, the air actually gets suked out? In reality, you're applying "Pressure" as you drink the beverage.

A box has the dimensions of 50 cm × 30 cm × 15 cm

Let each face be A, B and C

The weight of the box = 150 N

Formula for pressure is

P = F/A

To find out which face of the box can withstand a pressure of 0.25 N/cm

we need find the area of each face and find its pleasure

Face A = 50 cm × 30 cm

Area A = l × b

            = 50 × 30

            = 1500 cm²

Pressure A = 150/1500

                  = 0.1 N/cm³

                    0.25 > 0.1

The surface can definitively withstand the pressure of Face A

Face B = 30 cm × 15 cm

Area A = l × b

            = 30 × 15

            = 450 cm²

Pressure A = 150/450

                  = 0.3 N/cm³

                    0.25 < 0.3

The surface could not withstand the pressure of Face B

Face C = 50 cm × 15 cm

Area A = l × b

            = 50 × 15

            = 750 cm²

Pressure A = 150/750

                  = 0.2 N/cm³

                    0.25 > 0.2

The surface can definitively withstand the pressure of Face C

Thus, The surface can only withstand a pressure Face A (50cm × 30cm) and Face C (50cm × 15cm) as the surface can only withstand a pressure of 0.25 N/cm³.
