Answer:

An estimate for the time it will take for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to Mars is approximately 138.8 days

Explanation:

The distance between Earth and the Moon = 684,400 km

The distance between Earth and Mars = 220.58 × 10⁶ km

The distance between Earth and Pluto = 5.2241 × 10⁹ km

The ratio of the distance between Earth and Pluto and the distance between Earth and Mars = (5.2241 × 10⁹ km)/(220.58 × 10⁶ km) ≈ 23.683

It took 2006 to 2015 (9 years) to travel from Earth to Pluto, therefore, it can take approximately (9 years)/(23.683) ≈ 0.38 of a year which is ((9 years)/(23.683)) × 365.2422 ≈ 138.8 days for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to Mars

Which element accumulates in the environment due to the use of
marissa [1.9K]

To Find :

Which element accumulates in the environment due to the use of  fertilizers.

Solution :

Most of the fertilizers used in daily practice are nitrogen fertilizers .

When soil became waterlogged, soil organisms take the oxygen they need from nitrates, leaving the nitrogen in a gaseous form which escapes into the air.

Also, nitrogen is very stable and did not participate in most of the reactions.

So, nitrogen is accumulates in the environment .

Therefore, option C. is correct.

Eac of the two Straight Parallel Lines Each of two very long, straight, parallel lines carries a positive charge of 24.00 m C/m.
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field at a point equidistant from the lines is 4.08\times10^{5}\ N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

Positive charge = 24.00  μC/m

Distance = 4.10 m

We need to calculate the angle

Using formula of angle

\theta=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\dfrac{d}{2}}{2d})

\theta=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1}{4})

\theta=14.47^{\circ}

We need to calculate the magnitude of the electric field at a point equidistant from the lines

Using formula of electric field

E=\dfrac{2k\lambda}{r}\times2\cos\theat

Put the value into the formula

E=\dfrac{2\times9\times10^{9}\times24.00\times2\times10^{-6}\cos14.47}{2.05}

E=408094.00\ N/C

E=4.08\times10^{5}\ N/C

Hence, The magnitude of the electric field at a point equidistant from the lines is 4.08\times10^{5}\ N/C

A 2:2 kg toy train is con ned to roll along a straight, frictionless track parallel to the x-axis. The train starts at the origi
Liula [17]

Answer:

a) 10.51 J

b) 3.48 m/s

Explanation:

Given data :

mass of train ( M ) = 2.2 kg

Given initial velocity ( u ) = 1.6 m/s

<u>a) calculating work done by the force over the journey of the train</u>

F = mx + b  ------ ( 1 )

m = slope  = ( Δ f / Δ x ) = 2.8 / -7.5 = - 0.373 N/m

x = distance travelled on the x axis by the train = 7.5 m

F = force experienced by the train = 2.8 N

x = 0

∴ b = 2.8

hence equation 1 can be written as

F = ( -0.373) x + 2.8   ----- ( 2 )

hence to determine the work done by the force

W   = \int\limits^7_0 { ( -0.373) x + 2.8  )} \, dx     Note:  the limits are actually 7.5 and 0

∴ W ( work done ) = -10.49 + 21 = 10.51 J

<u>b) calculate the speed of the train at the end of its journey</u>

we will apply the work energy theorem

W = 1/2 m*v^2  -  1/2 m*u^2

∴ V^2 = 2 / M ( W + 1/2 M*u^2 )  ( input values into equation )

 V^2 = 12.11

hence V = 3.48 m/s
