Answer:

<h2>In a vacuum, light travels at 670,616,629 mph (1,079,252,849 km/h). To find the distance of a light-year, you multiply this speed by the number of hours in a year (8,766). The result: One light-year equals 5,878,625,370,000 miles (9.5 trillion km).</h2>

Answer:

Friction force is independent of the direction of the contacting surfaces

Explanation:

It can go any way depending on how much force is being out on it.

While studying projectile motion, we consider ideal scenarios, where the projectile travels along its trajectory only under the

Law Incorporation [45]

Drag is usually ignored because its effect on the horizontal velocity is usually negligible due to the short time of flight.

An object's surface area and geometry, along with the object's surrounding wind speed will affect the drag force.

In most cases, drag force will cause the object to land horizontally closer to the predicted landing point as drag is a resistive force.

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{30 rev/s}}$

Explanation:

This question is based on the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum.

Angular momentum (L) equals the moment of inertia (I) times the angular speed (ω).

L = Iω

If momentum is conserved,

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

Data:

I₁ = 3.5 kg·m²s⁻¹

ω₁ = 6.0 rev·s⁻¹

I₂ = 0.70 kg·m²s⁻¹

Calculation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}I_{1}\omega_{1} &= &I_{2}\omega_{2}\\\text{3.5 kg$\cdot$m$^{2}$}\times \text{6.0 rev/s} &= &\text{0.70 kg$\cdot$m$^{2}$}\times\omega_{2}\\\text{21 rev/s} &= &0.70\omega_{2}\\\omega_{2} & = & \dfrac{\text{21 rev/s}}{0.70}\\\\&=&\textbf{30 rev/s}\\\end{array}\\\text{The skater's final rotational speed is $\large \boxed{\textbf{30 rev/s}}$}$

A stone on ground is zero energy

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

A stone on the ground does not have zero energy…there is an internal potential in every object. Aldo is not in action or in any mechanical motion it is being acted upon by gravity and also molecular forces and energy.

Hope this helps !
