Given that average speed is distance traveled divided by time, determine the values of m and n when the time it takes a beam of

light to get from the Sun to the Earth (in s) is written in scientific notation. Note: the speed of light is approximately 3.0×108 m/s. Enter m and n, separated by commas.

Answer:

5,2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Speed of light C=3.0×10^8 m/s.

Generally the equation for Average Speed is mathematically given by

V_{avg}=\frac{d}{t}

Where

d=Distance between the Earth and the sun

d=1.5*10^11m

Therefore

t=\frac{d}{V_{avg}}

t=\frac{1.5*10^11m}{3.0×10^8 m/s.}

t=5*10^2s

Since m and n is given in the form of

m*10^n

Therefore

m=5 & n=2

With what speed does the can move immediately after the collision? Answer in units of m/s.
Ratling [72]

Answer:

1.74 m/s

Explanation:

From the question, we are given that the mass of the an object, m1= 2.7 kilogram(kg) and the mass of the can,m(can) is 0.72 Kilogram (kg). The velocity of the mass of an object(m1) , V1 is 1.1 metre per seconds(m/s) and the velocity of the mass of can[m(can)], V(can) is unknown- this is what we are to find.

Therefore, using the formula below, we can calculate the speed of the can, V(can);

===> Mass of object,m1 × velocity of object, V1 = mass of the can[m(can)] × velocity is of the can[V(can)].----------------------------------------------------(1).

Since the question says the collision was elastic, we use the formula below

Slotting in the given values into the equation (1) above, we have;

1/2×M1×V^2(initial velocity of the first object) + 1/2 ×M(can)×V^2(final velocy of the first object)= 1/2 × M1 × V^2 m( initial velocity of the first object).

Therefore, final velocity of the can= 2M1V1/M1+M2.

==> 2×2.7×1.1/ 2.7 + 0.72.

The velocity of the can after collision = 1.74 m/s

If a light bulb is missing or broken in a parallel circuit, will the other light bulb right ?
Nataly [62]

No because the path the electricity needs to follow is broken. In parallel circuit,electricity has more that one path to follow.

Latitude, elevation, ocean currents, topography, and prevailing winds. There's probably a few others but these are the most important.

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

a) W = 10995.6 J

b) W = - 9996 J

c) Kf = 999.6 J

d) v = 5.77 m/s

Explanation:

Given

m = 60 Kg

h = 17 m

a = g/10

g = 9.8 m/s²

a) We can apply Newton's 2nd Law as follows

∑Fy = m*a     ⇒     T - m*g = m*a     ⇒    T = (g + a)*m

where T is the force exerted by the cable

⇒    T = (g + (g/10))*m = (11/10)*g*m = (11/10)*(9.8 m/s²)*(60 Kg)

⇒    T = 646.8 N

then we use the equation

W = F*d = T*h = (646.8 N)*(17 m)

W = 10995.6 J

b) We use the formula

W = m*g*h     ⇒    W = (60 Kg)(9.8 m/s²)(-17 m)

⇒    W = - 9996 J

c) We have to obtain Wnet as follows

Wnet = W₁ + W₂ = 10995.6 J - 9996 J

⇒    Wnet = 999.6 J

then we apply the equation

Wnet = ΔK = Kf - Ki = Kf - 0 = Kf    

⇒  Kf = 999.6 J

d) Knowing that

K = 0.5*m*v²    ⇒    v = √(2*Kf / m)

⇒    v = √(2*999.6 J / 60 Kg)

⇒    v = 5.77 m/s
