Answer:

When the Earth and sun are perfectly lined up, then it will happen. They can tell when it's going to happen.

Explanation:

This is why it only happens in some places. Some days it's not sunny out, so it's not going to happen.

The velocity of an object is equal to the distance divided by time. The equation is velocity = distance/time. If you wanted to c

Korolek [52]

Answer: C) divide: distance ÷ velocity

Explanation:

The velocity $V$ equation is distance $d$ divided by time $t$ :

$V=\frac{d}{t}$

If we isolate $t$ we will have:

$t=\frac{d}{V}$

Hence, the correct option is C: distance divided by velocity.

A horizontal 826 N merry-go-round of radius 1.17 m is started from rest by a constant horizontal force of 57.8 N applied tangent

Julli [10]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the merry-go-round is $\bf{475.47~J}$ .

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the merry-go-round, $W_{g} = 826~N$

Radius of the merry-go-round, $r = 1.17~m$

the force on the merry-go-round, $F = 57.8~N$

Acceleration due to gravity, $g= 9.8~m.s^{-2}$

Time given, $t=3.47~s$

Mass of the merry-go-round is given by

$m &=& \dfrac{W_{g}}{g}\\~~~~&=& \dfrac{826~N}{9.8~m.s^{-2}}\\~~~~&=& 84.29~Kg$

Moment of inertial of the merry-go-round is given by

$I &=& \dfrac{1}{2}mr^{2}\\~~~&=& \dfrac{1}{2}(84.29~Kg)(1.17~m)^{2}\\~~~&=& 57.69~Kg.m^{2}$

Torque on the merry-go-round is given by

$\tau &=& F.r\\~~~&=& (57.8~N)(1.17~m)\\~~~&=& 67.63~N.m$

The angular acceleration is given by

$\alpha &=& \dfrac{\tau}{I}\\~~~&=& \dfrac{67.63~N.m}{57.69~Kg.m^{2}}\\~~~&=& 1.17~rad.s^{-2}$

The angular velocity is given by

$\omega &=& \alpha.t\\~~~&=& (1.17~rad.s^{-2})(3.47~s)\\~~~&=& 4.06~rad.s^{-1}$

The kinetic energy of the merry-go-round is given by

$E &=& \dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^{2}\\~~~&=&\dfrac{1}{2}(57.69~Kg.m^{2})(4.06~rad.s^{-1})^{2}\\~~~&=& 475.47~J$

A proton is released from rest at the positive plate of a parallelplatecapacitor. It crosses the capacitor and reaches the negat

Triss [41]

Answer:

2.1406 × $10^6$ m/sec

Explanation:

we know that energy is always conserved

so from the law of energy conservation

$qV=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

here V is the potential difference

we know that mass of proton = 1.67× $10^{-27}$ kg

we have given speed =50000m/sec

so potential difference $V=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}50000^2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}=13.045$

now mass of electron =9.11× $10^{-31}$

so for electron

$\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}v^2=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 13.045=2.1406\times 10^6 m/sec$

so the velocity of electron will be 2.1406× $10^6$ m/sec

a plane travels 204 km, northeast in 15.0 minutes. It also increases elevation by 1.6 km, upward in the same amount of time. Wha

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

230 m/s northeast, 1.8 m/s up

Explanation:

204 kilometres = 204000 metres

15.0 minutes = 900 seconds

Velocity = Distance / Time

= 204000 / 900

= 230 m/s northeast (to 2 sf.)

1.6km = 1600 metres

Velocity = 1600 / 900

= 1.8 m/s up (to 2 sf.)
