Answer : B

A lunar day is the time it takes a specific site on the earth to rotate from exact point under the moon to the same point. Unlike the solar day, a lunar day is 24 hours 50 minutes. the lunar day is 50 minutes longer than the solar day because the moon revolves around the earth in the same direction that the earth rotates around its axis. So it takes the earth an extra 50 minutes to catch up.

In lunar day coastal areas experience two high and two low tides every 24 hours and 50 minutes. High tides occur every 12 hr 25 minutes apart.

What color would a yellow cloth appear to have if illuminated with sunlight?

den301095 [7]

The colour we see is a measure of the wavelengths of light nor absorbed by the cloth. We would call the colour of the cloth blue if it absorbed longer wavelengths of yellow/orange/red. Sunlight contains all the visible wavelengths. Whatever is not absorbed is reflected.

A jet plane lands with a speed of 100 m/s and can

kiruha [24]

Answer:

a) t = 20 [s]

b) Can't land

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use kinematics equations, it is of great importance to note that when the plane lands it slows down until it reaches rest, ie the final speed will be zero.

$v_{f}=v_{i}-(a*t)$

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vi = initial velocity = 100 [m/s]

a = desacceleration = 5 [m/s^2]

t = time [s]

Note: the negative sign of the equation means that the aircraft slows down as it stops.

0 = 100 - 5*t

5*t = 100

t = 20 [s]

Now we can find the distance using the following kinematics equation.

$x -x_{o}=(v_{o}*t)+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2}$

x - xo = distance [m]

x -xo = (0*20) + (0.5*5*20^2)

x - xo = 1000 [m]

1000 [m] = 1 [km]

And the runaway is 0.8 [km], therefore the jetplane needs 1 [km] to land. So the jetpalne can't land

You drop a rock down a well that is 5.4 m deep. How long does it take the rock to hit the bottom of the well?

Natali5045456 [20]

Equation of motion:

$y_{f}=y_{o}+v_{o}t+ \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

Since initial velocity is zero, the second term goes away:

$y_{f}=y_{o}+0+ \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}=y_{o}+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}-y_{o}= \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}-y_{o}=5.4m$

$5.4m= \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$\frac{2(5.4m) }{a} = t^{2}$

$a = g = 9.81 \frac{m}{ s^{2}}$

$\frac{2(5.4m) }{9.81 \frac{m}{ s^{2} } } = t^{2}$

$1.1 s^{2} = t^{2}$ $\sqrt{1.1 s^{2}} = \sqrt{t^{2}}$

 $t = 1.05s$
