The first thing that needs to be done is to find everything in the same units.  12 hours becomes 43200 seconds.  Then find the distance traveled by light in that amount of time.  Using the formula v=d/s, manipulate it so it looks like d=v*s.  Then plug in the values: d=(3x10^8)*43200,  d=1.3x10^13m.  But you need to find this in kilometers.  To do this, simply divide your answer by one thousand.  Thus, a laser beam would travel 1.3x10^10 kilometers in 12 hours.

What is the net power needed to change the speed of a 1600-kg sport utility vehicle from 15.0 m/s to 40.0 m/s in 4.00 seconds
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The net power needed to change the speed of the vehicle is 275,000 W

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the sport vehicle, m = 1600 kg

initial velocity of the vehicle, u = 15 m/s

final velocity of the vehicle, v = 40 m/s

time of motion, t = 4 s

The force needed to change the speed of the sport vehicle;

F = \frac{m(v-u)}{t} \\\\F = \frac{1600(40-15)}{4} \\\\F = 10,000 \ N

The net power needed to change the speed of the vehicle is calculated as;

P_{net} = \frac{1}{2} F[u + v]\\\\P_{net} = \frac{1}{2} \times 10,000[15 + 40]\\\\P_{net} = 275,000 \ W

A force of 30.0 N is applied to a 3.00 kg object for 3.00 seconds. Calculate the velocity experienced by the object.
olganol [36]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = ma and

a=\frac{v}{t}

We have F, we have m, but in order to solve for v, we need a.

30.0 = 3.00a so

a = 10.0 m/s/s. Plug that in for a in the second equation and solve for v:

10.0=\frac{v}{3.00} so

v = 10.0(3.00) so

v = 30.0 m/s

In a Little League baseball game, the 145 g ball enters the strike zone with a speed of 17.0 m/s . The batter hits the ball, and
VMariaS [17]

Hi there!

Impulse = Change in momentum

I = Δp = mΔv = m(vf - vi)

Where:

m = mass of object (kg)

vf = final velocity (m/s)

vi = initial velocity (m/s)

Begin by converting grams to kilograms:

1 kg = 1000g ⇒ 145g = .145kg

Now, plug in the given values. Remember to assign directions since velocity is a vector. Let the initial direction be positive and the opposite be negative.

I = (.145)(-20 - 17) = -5.365 Ns

The magnitude is the absolute value, so:

|-5.365| = 5.365 Ns
