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 plane flying horizontally above earth’s surface at 100. meters per second drops a crate. the crate strikes the ground 30.0 sec
Lena [83]
Since the plane is traveling at 100m/s horizontal to the surface of the earth, the crate will always have this horizontal velocity (neglecting air resistance) until it hits the ground.  So the answer is 100m/s.  Note the vertical speed continues to change as the crate accelerates downward toward earth (again neglecting air effects)

In the combo circuit diagrammed, R1 = 19.2 Ω, R2 = 20.7 Ω, and R3 = 25.8 Ω. Find the equivalent resistance of the circuit.
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Equivalent resistance: 13.589 Ω

Explanation:

R series = R1 + R2 + R3 ...

\frac{1}{R_{eq} } = \frac{1}{R1} +\frac{1}{R2} +\frac{1}{R3} ...

Find the equivalent resistance of the right branch of the circuit:

R_{eq}  = R_{2} +R_{3} \\R_{eq} = 20.7 + 25.8 = 46.5 ohms

\frac{1}{R_{eq} } = \frac{1}{19.2} +\frac{1}{46.5}\\\\\frac{1}{R_{eq} } = 0.0735887097\\\\R_{eq} = 13.5890411

How do subatomic particles create net charge on objects?
Andru [333]

Answer:

If an object has more protons than electron then the net charge on the object is positive but if it has more electrons than protons the net charge on the object is negative.  The object is electrically neutral if the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.

Explanation:

Atom is composed of different subatomic particles . The 3 major subatomic particles are proton , neutron and electrons. The proton and the neutron is concentrated in the nucleus of an atom. The  nucleus forms the dense core of an atom. The protons are positively charged while the electrons are negatively charged .The neutrons are neutrally charged.  The electrons forms a cloud around the nucleus of an atom.

The net charge is defined as sum of the charges on an object.  The 2 electric charges available are positive or negative charges. The proton are positive while the electron are negative. Although the mass of the proton is greater than the electron but the magnitude of their charges are equal . If an object has more protons than electron then the net charge on the object is positive but if it has more electrons than protons the net charge on the object is negative.  The object is electrically neutral if the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
