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>

slader How much energy is required to move a 1040 kg object from the Earth's surface to an altitude four times the Earth's radiu
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

ΔU = 5.21 × 10^(10) J

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of object; m = 1040 kg

To solve this, we will use the formula for potential energy which is;

U = -GMm/r

But we are told we want to move the object from the Earth's surface to an altitude four times the Earth's radius.

Thus;

ΔU = -GMm((1/r_f) - (1/r_i))

Where;

M is mass of earth = 5.98 × 10^(24) kg

r_f is final radius

r_i is initial radius

G is gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^(-11) N.m²/kg²

Since, it's moving to altitude four times the Earth's radius, it means that;

r_i = R_e

r_f = R_e + 4R_e = 5R_e

Where R_e is radius of earth = 6371 × 10³ m

Thus;

ΔU = -6.67 × 10^(-11) × 5.98 × 10^(24)

× 1040((1/(5 × 6371 × 10³)) - (1/(6371 × 10³))

ΔU = 5.21 × 10^(10) J
