Answer:

t = 4.17 hours

Explanation:

given,

The distance between Sun and Neptune, d = 4.5 billion Km

                                                                         = 4.5 x 10⁹ Km

                                                                          = 4.5 x 10¹¹ m

The velocity of light, c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The velocity is always equal to displacement by the time.

                                           <em>V = d / t    m/s</em>

∴                                           t = d / V

                                               = 4.5 x 10¹¹ m / 3 x 10⁸ m/s

                                               = 15,000 s

                                               = 4.17 h

Hence, the time taken by the light rays to reach the Neptune is, t = 4.17 h

You are a member of an alpine rescue team and must project a box of supplies, with mass m, up an incline of constant slope angle
AlekseyPX

Answer:

v = \sqrt{2gh + \frac{2\mu_kgh}{tan\theta}}

Explanation:

When we push the box from the bottom of the incline towards the top then by work energy theorem we can say that

Work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy of the system

- mgh - F_f (s) = 0 - \frac{1}{2}mv^2

here we know that

F_f = \mu_k mg cos\theta

also we know that the length of the incline is given as

s = \frac{h}{sin\theta}

now we have

- mgh - \mu_k mgcos\theta(\frac{h}{sin\theta}) = -\frac{1}{2}mv^2

so we have

v = \sqrt{2gh + \frac{2\mu_kgh}{tan\theta}}

A student examines a 20-meter long rectangular stream channel and takes the following measurements: width of stream = 4 meters,
Scrat [10]

Answer:

The discharge of the stream at this location is 40 cubic meters per second.

Explanation:

The discharge is the volume flow rate of the water in the stream. For this purpose we can use the following formula:

Discharge = Volume Flow Rate = (Cross-Sectional Area)(Velocity of Stream)

Volume Flow Rate = (Width of Stream)(Depth of Stream)(Velocity of Stream)

Volume Flow Rate = (4 meters)(2 meters)(5 meters per second)

<u>Volume Flow Rate = 40 cubic meters per second</u>

Therefore, the discharge of the stream at this location is found to be <u>40 cubic meters per second</u>

This result shows that 40 cubic meters volume of water passes or discharges through this point in a time of one second. Hence, this is called the volume flow rate or the discharge of the stream.

Which of the following is a surface phenomenon A evaporation B boiling C melting D freezing​
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

A. evaporation

Explanation:

Evaporation is a surface phenomenon as the molecules of the surface gets sufficient energy to overcome the force of attraction which will help in converting to the vapor phase.

A wire lying along a y axis form y=0 to y=0.25 m carries a current of 2.0 mA in the negative direction of the axis. The wire ful
balu736 [363]

Answer:

FB = 0.187 N

Explanation:

To find the magnetic force FB in the wire you use the following formula:

|\vec{F_B}|=ILBsin\theta\\\\L=0.25m\\\\|\vec{B}|=\sqrt{(0.3y)^2+(0.4y)^2}=0.5y \ T

the angle between B and L is given by:

\vec{L}\cdot\vec{B}=LBcos\theta\\\\\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{\vec{L}\cdot\vec{B}}{LB})=cos^{-1}(\frac{0*0.3y+0.25*0.4y}{0.25*0.5y})=36.86\°

Due to B depends on "y" you take into account the contribution of each element dy of the wire to the magnitude of the magnetic force. Thus, you have to integrate the following expression:

|\vec{F_B}|=Isin\theta\int_0^{0.25}B(y)dy=Isin\theta\int_0^{0.25}(0.5y)dy\\\\|\vec{F_B}|=(2.0*10^{-3}A)(sin36.86\°)(0.5T)[\frac{0.25^2}{2}m]=0.187\ N

hence, the magnitude of the magnetic force is 0.187N

A 2.00 kg box slides on a rough, horizontal surface, hits a spring with a speed of 1.90 m/s and compresses it a distance of 10.0
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of box m=2\ kg

speed of box v=1.9\ m/s

distance moved by the box x=10\ cm

coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.66

Friction  force f_r=\mu_kN

f_r=0.66\times mg

f_r=0.66\times 2\times 9.8=12.936 \N

Kinetic Energy of box will be utilize to overcome friction and rest is stored in spring in the form of elastic potential energy

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=f_r\cdot x+\frac{1}{2}kx^2

\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 1.9^2=12.936\times 0.1+\frac{1}{2}\times k\times (0.1)^2

3.61-1.2936=0.005\times k

k=463.28\ N/m
