Answer:

777.9 Mkm

Explanation:

(M = Mega = $10^{6}$ )

AU is the Astronomical Unit for distance (1AU=149,597,870.691 km)

The total distance in km then is:

$5.2 * 149,597,870.691 km = 777908927.593 km$

To give the result in millions, we use the prefix Mega:

$(\frac{1M}{10^{6} } ) * 777908927.593 km = 777.9 Mkm$

When an automobile moves with constant speed down a highway, most of the power developed by the engine is used to compensate for

uysha [10]

Answer:

F=5449 N

Explanation:

Work done is a product of force and displacement ie

Work done, W, = Force*Displacement

Power, P, is Work done/Time

$P=\frac {W}{t}=\frac {FS}{t}$ where P is power, W is work done, F is force, S is displacement and t is time

In this case, F is the frictional force. Converting the power from hp to W, we multiply by 746 hence P=746*168=125328 W

Since displacement/time is velocity, then

P=FV where V is velocity in m/s

Making F the subject

$F=\frac {P}{V}$

$F=\frac {125328}{23}=5449.043478 N$

F=5449 N

Why does a skier wear polarized glasses instead of glasses that are used for reading?

Afina-wow [57]

A skier wears polarized glasses instead of glasses that are used for reading because polarized glasses decrease reflected glare compared to regular glasses. (D)

Looking straight downward into a rain puddle whose surface is covered with a thin film of gasoline, you notice a swirling patter

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Explanation:

Point beneath you forms a beautiful iridescent green

refractive index of Gasoline $n=1.38$

Wavelength of Green light is $\lambda =540\ nm$

Here light first traverse from air(n=1) to gasoline , it reflects from front surface of gasoline(n=1.38) so it suffers a phase change. After this light reflect from rear surface of gasoline and there is a decrease in refractive index(n=1.38 to n=1.33), so there is no phase change occurs .

For constructive interference

$2t=(m+\frac{1}{2})\cdot \frac{\lambda }{n}$

here t= thickness of gasoline film

n=refractive index

for $m=0$

$t=\frac{\lambda }{4n}$

$t=\frac{540}{4\times 1.38}$

$t=97.82\approx 98\ nm$

A truck is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 13 m/s. If the centripetal force on the truck is 3,300 N and

Paladinen [302]

Answer: Option B.

Since here the truck is moving on a circular track, it will experience centripetal force.

F(centripetal) = m × acc
or
$r = \frac{m v^{2}}{F}$

where r is the radius of the track.
m is the mass of truck
v is the speed of the truck.
Given: v = 13 m/s
m = 1,600 kg
F = 3300 Newton

To find = radius of track=?
$r = \frac{m v^{2} }{F}$
$r = \frac{1600*13*13}{3300}$
r = 81.94 m
Therefore, radius of track is 81.94 m
