A furlong is an old british unit of length equal to 0.125 mi, derived from the length of a furrow in an acre of ploughed land. a

fortnight is a unit of time corresponding to two weeks, or 14 days and nights. find the speed of light in mega furlongs per fortnight. (one mega furlongs equals a million furlongs.)

The speed of light is: c = 3x10^8 m/s <span>

or 

c = 186,000,000 miles/sec = 1.86x10^8 mi/s 

1 furlong = 0.125 mile 

1 fortnight = 2 weeks(7d/wk)(24h/d)(3600s/h) 
= 1209600s = 1.2096x10^6 s 

Therefore, 

c =1.86x10^8 mi/s(1furl/0.125mi)(1.2096x10^6s/fort) 

<span>c = 18x10^14 furlong/fortnight = 18x10^8 Mfurlong/fortnight</span></span>

An astronaut goes to Mars to do some experiments. Explain why her mass stays the same but her weight changes.
Snowcat [4.5K]
Because mass does not change from place to place but weight does change from place to place... why? because weight is the amount of gravitational force on an object and mass is the amount of matter in an object. mars has less gravitational force so an object will weigh less than it really weighs there

A light bulb whose resistance is 240 ohms is connected to a 120 voltage source. What is the current through the bulb?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

0.5A

Explanation:

Using R = \frac{V}{I},

R is the resistance (in Ohms)

V is the voltage (in V)

I is the current (in A)

240=\frac{120}{I}

I = 0.5A

A light bulb operating at a dc voltage of 120 V has a power rating of 60 W. How much current is flowing through this bulb
densk [106]
  • Voltage=V=120V
  • Power=P=60W

  • Current=I

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail I=\dfrac{P}{V}=\dfrac{60}{120}=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5A

An object moves from the position +16m to the position +43m in 12s. What us the total displacement
NeX [460]

First method

initial distance = 16m

final distance= 43 m

total distance covered= final -initial

                                     =43m -16m

                                     =27m

Second method

Si= 16m

Sf =43 m

t= 12 s

first we will find V

V =  (Sf-Si)/ t

V =( 43- 16)/ 12

V = 27/12  ⇒ V= 9/4

V= distance / time

distance= V×time

distance = (9/4) ×12

distance =27
