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>

A car is brought to rest in a distance of 484m using a constant acceleration of -8.0m/s^2. What was the velocity of the car when
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

88 m/s

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we can use the following SUVAT equation:

v^2-u^2=2ad

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d is the distance covered

For the car in this problem, we have

d = 484 m is the stopping distance

v = 0 is the final velocity

a=-8.0 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Solving for u, we find the initial velocity:

u=\sqrt{v^2-2ad}=\sqrt{-2(8.0)(484)}=88 m/s

Suppose that in a lightning flash the potential difference between a cloud and the ground is 1.0*109 V and the quantity of charg
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

a) U_{e} = 3 \times 10^{10}\,J, b) v \approx 7745.967\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

a) The potential energy is:

U_{e} = Q \cdot \Delta V

U_{e} = (30\,C)\cdot (1.0\times 10^{9}\,V)

U_{e} = 3 \times 10^{10}\,J

b) Maximum final speed:

U_{e} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot U_{e}}{m} }

The final speed is:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot (3 \times 10^{10}\,J)}{1000\,kg} }

v \approx 7745.967\,\frac{m}{s}
