(ik it says physics but astronomy is a field of physics sooo) A recently discovered planet in a different solar system is locate

marusya05 [52]

The distance, to the nearest tenth, is 314.9 light-years.

The given data is:

A recently discovered planet is located 1.85*10^5 miles from Earth.

Now we want to transform this distance to light-years.

Remember that a light-year is defined as "the distance that the light would travel in one year".

using the relation:

distance = speed*time

The speed of light is:

speed = 6.706*10^8 mi/h

And in one year has 8760 hours, then we have:

time = 8760 h

replacing these in the equation we get:

distance = speed*time

distance = (6.706*10^8 mi/h)*(8760 h) = 5,874,456,000,000 miles

Son one light-year is equivalent to 5,874,456,000,000 miles

1 light-year = 5,874,456,000,000 miles

So to transform a distance in miles to light-years, we just need to divide that distance by 5,874,456,000,000 miles:

The distance between the new planet and Earth was:

D = 1.85*10^15 mi = ( 1.85*10^15)/(5,874,456,000,000) = 314.9 light-years.

Which statement is true for objects in dynamic equilibrium?

lakkis [162]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is objects have zero acceleration.

Explanation:

Before answering the question, first we have to understand dynamic equilibrium .

A body moving with uniform velocity is said to be in dynamic equilibrium if the net external forces acting on the body is zero. Hence, the body is under balanced forces.

If the external forces acting on a body is not balanced, then the body will accelerate which will destroy its equilibrium condition. Hence, the necessary and sufficient condition for a body to be in dynamic equilibrium is that the forces are balanced.

When a body is in dynamic equilibrium, the body moves with uniform velocity along a straight line unless and until it is compelled by some external unbalanced forces.

Hence, the rate of change of velocity or acceleration of the body will be zero.

Hi!

1. R-Value - a standardized rating for insulating materials

R value is essentially the measure of the resistance to the conductive flow of heat that is determined by the thickness of a material. Different materials are allocated different R values in accordance with the degree of insulation they offer, such as a window, or a wall. It can be said to be the degree of insulation a layer of material offers, and the greater the R value, the higher the resistance it offers to the flow of heat, meaning better the insulation

2. Thermal Equilibrium - when two materials in contact are at the same temperature

Thermal equilibrium is a state when there is no net flow of thermal energy between two materials that are in contact through a pathway that offers thermal conductivity, or in more simple terms permeable to heat. If the temperature of a system is temporally and spatially consistent, the system is said to be in a thermal equilibrium.

3. Insulation - any material that reduces loss of energy due to heat flow

Insulation is when a material prevents the flow or passage of thermal energy or stops heat flow by some degree from one environment to another. For instance, a blanket offers insulation to the body by impairing the flow of heat from the body to the surrounding air. The greater the insulation, the less would be the flow of heat or thermal energy from one place to another.

4. Thermal Conductivity - a physical property of materials that relates its ability to conduct thermal energy

Thermal conductivity is a property of a material that deals with its ability to conduct heat, or thermal energy. The higher the thermal conductivity of a material, the greater would be the heat transfer within the material. For instance, a metal has a higher thermal conductivity that wood, meaning wood allows a lower transfer of heat through it. This is the reason why most cooking utensils such as spatula have a wooden base, instead of a metallic base.

Hope this helps!

Plan an experiment to measure the ideal mechanical advantage of a three-hole punch. (a) What materials would you need? (b) What

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

A) Three hole punch and either a layered plastic or paper

B) Identify the lengths involved ,

Length of input arm / length of output arm = L1/ L2

Explanation:

a) Materials involved includes :

Three hole punch and either a layered plastic or paper

Identify the forces acting on the three-hole punch which are Input and output forces

Identify the points where they act

B) procedures involved

The mechanical advantage = output force / input force

step one: Identify the lengths involved

assuming no friction or relatively small friction \

mechanical advantage can be calculated as : Length of input arm / length of output arm = L1/ L2
