<em>Answer : B</em>

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.

A soccer player kicks a 0.44 kg ball with a force of 57.6 N, what is the ball’s acceleration

noname [10]

THE BALL'S ACCELERATION IS 130.90 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law "the force (F) acting on an object is equal to the mass (m) of an object times its acceleration (a)", meaning that when the soccer player kicks a ball, a force is acting on the ball, therefore increasing it's acceleration

SO FOR CALCULATING THIS WE WILL USE NEWTON LAW,

FORCE = MASS × ACCELERATION

WE ARE GIVEN

FORCE = 57.6N

MASS= .44KG

SO HERE WE APPLYING FORMULA ,WE WILL GET

ACCELERATION = $\frac{FORCE}{MASS}$

ACCELERATION = $\frac{57.6N}{.44KG}$

ACCELERATION =130.90 $\frac{m}{s}$

Light in vacuum travels at a speed of 3.00 x 10^8 m ^-1 s^-1 on average earth is 93,000,000 miles from the sun how many minutes

NemiM [27]

The correct unit for the speed of light is [ m s⁻¹ ].

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (9.3 x 10^7 miles) x (1609 m/mile) / (3 x 10^8 m/s) = 498.8 seconds .

That would be <em>8.31 minutes</em>.

Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the road and the tires on a car is 0.638 and the car has no negative lift. Wh

larisa [96]

Answer:

12.6332454263 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of car

v = Velocity of the car

$\mu$ = Coefficient of static friction = 0.638

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

r = Radius of turn = 25.5 m

When the car is on the verge of sliding we have the force equation

$\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=\mu mg\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\mu gr}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{0.638\times 9.81\times 25.5}\\\Rightarrow v=12.6332454263\ m/s$

The speed of the car that will put it on the verge of sliding is 12.6332454263 m/s

The water in a river flows uniformly at a constant speed of 2.50 m/s between parallel banks 80.0 m apart. You are to deliver a p

NISA [10]

Answer:

a) The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.

b) 133.33 m

c) 53.13°

d) 106.67 m

Explanation:

a) The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.

b) velocity = distance * time

Let the velocity of the swimmer be $v_{s}$ = 1.5 m/s

The separation of the two sides of the river, d = 80 m

The time taken by the swimmer to get to the other end of the river bank,

$t = \frac{d}{v_{s} }$

t = 80/1.5

t = 53.33 s

The swimmer will be carried downstream by the river through a distance, s

Let the velocity of the river be $v_{r}$ = 2.5 m/s

$S = v_{r} t$

S = 53.33 * 2.5

S = 133.33 m

c) To minimize the distance traveled by the swimmer, his resultant velocity must be perpendicular to the velocity of the swimmer relative to water

That is ,

$cos \theta = \frac{v_{s} }{v_{r} } \\cos \theta = 1.5/2.5\\cos \theta = 0.6\\\theta = cos^{-1} 0.6\\\theta = 53.13^{0}$

d) Downstream velocity of the swimmer, $v_{y} = v_{s} sin \theta\\$

$v_{y} = 1.5 sin 53.13\\v_{y} = 1.2 m/s$

The vertical displacement is given by, $y = v_{y} t$

80 = 1.2 t

t = 80/1.2

t = 66.67 s

the horizontal speed,

$v_{x} = 2.5 - 1.5cos53.13\\v_{x} = 1.6 m/s$

The downstream horizontal distance of the swimmer, $x = v_{x} t$

x = 1.6 * 66.67

x = 106.67 m

A 30-cm long string, with one end clamped and the other free to move transversely, is vibrating in its second harmonic. The wave

Ann [662]

Answer:

$\lambda$ = 40 cm

Explanation:

given data

string length = 30 cm

solution

we take here equation of length that is

L = $n \times \frac{1}{4} \lambda$ ...............1

total length will be here

$L = \frac{\lambda}{2} + \frac{\lambda}{4}\\$

$L = \frac{3 \lambda }{4}$

so $\lambda$ will be

$\lambda = \frac{4L}{3}\\\lambda = \frac{4\times 30}{3}$

$\lambda$ = 40 cm
