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

A bullet is fired with a velocity of 100 m/s from the ground at an angle of 60° with the horizontal. Calculate the horizontal ra
seraphim [82]

1) The horizontal range of the bullet is 884 m

2) The maximum height attained by the bullet is 383 m

Explanation:

1)

The motion of the bullet is a projectile motion, which consists of two separate motions:  

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction  

- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction  

From the equation of motions along the x- and y- directions, it is possible to find an expression for the horizontal range covered by a projectile, and it is:

d=\frac{u^2 sin 2\theta}{g}

where

u is the initial speed of the projectile

\theta is the angle of projection

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

For the bullet in the problem, we have

u = 100 m/s (initial speed)

\theta=60^{\circ} (angle)

Solving the equation, we find the horizontal range:

d=\frac{(100)^2sin(2\cdot 60^{\circ})}{9.8}=884 m

2)

To find the maximum height, we have to analyze the vertical motion of the bullet. We can do it by using the following suvat equation:

v_y^2 - u_y^2 = 2as

where

v_y is the vertical velocity of the bullet after having covered a vertical displacement of s

u_y is the initial vertical velocity

a =-g= is the acceleration (negative, since it points downward)

The vertical component of the initial velocity is given by

u_y = u sin\theta

Also, the maximum height s is reached when the vertical velocity becomes zero,

v_y =0

Substituting into the equation and re-arranging for s, we find the maximum height:

s=\frac{u^2 sin^2 \theta}{2g}=\frac{(100)^2(sin 60^{\circ})^2}{2(9.8)}=383 m

The power of batteries in a circuit. The key functions of a battery and bulb in a circuit are explained. A battery is a source of energy which provides a push - a voltage - of energy to get the current flowing in a circuit. A bulb uses the electrical energy provided by the battery, but does not use current.

You have two points in a soil. Point A is at 75 cm; point B is at 25 cm above the reference. The capillary potential energy at p
user100 [1]

Answer:

The potential energy at point A is 17.1675 J

Explanation:

The capillary potential is the work expended to bring up a unit mass of liquid to a point in a capillary region from a level liquid surface. It is the capillary potential that facilitates the movement of moisture within soil capillaries

In meteorology it is used to describe the level of saturated soil above the water table

Potential energy is the energy inherent in a body by virtue of its position, therefore the potentials of both point A and B are

Point A, elevation = 75 cm capillary potential = -100 cm

Point B, elevation = 25 cm capillary potential = -200 cm

The total potential energy at point A is

Elevation above reference - capillary potential =75-(-100) = 175 cm

which gives per unit mass

PE = m × g × h = 1 kg × 9.81 m/s ² × 1.75 m = 17.1675 kg·m²/s² = 17.1675 J
