1 answer:
marusya05 [52]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

505929 AU

Explanation:

As you may know, one light-year is equivalent to approximately 63241.1 Astronomical Units. To get your answer, simply multiply 63241.1 * 8 to get ≈505929 AU

A strontium vapor laser beam is reflected from the surface of a CD onto a wall. The brightest spot is the reflected beam at an a
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

d=1.29*10^{-6}m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Distance of wall from CD D=1.4

Second bright fringe y_2= 0.803 m

Let

Strontium vapor laser has a wavelength \lambda= 431 nm=>431 *10^{-9}m

Generally the equation for Interference is mathematically given by

y=frac{n*\lambda*D}{d}

Where

d=\frac{n*\lambda*D}{y}

d=\frac{2*431 *10^{-9}m*1.4}{0.803}

d=1.29*10^{-6}m

The altitude of the International Space Station ttt minutes after its perigee (closest point), in kilometers, is given by \qquad
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

T = 92.8 min

Explanation:

Given:

The altitude of the International Space Station t minutes after its perigee (closest point), in kilometers, is given by:

                               A(t) = 415 - sin(\frac{2*\pi (t+23.2)}{92.8})

Find:

- How long does the International Space Station take to orbit the earth? Give an exact answer.

Solution:

- Using the the expression given we can extract the angular speed of the International Space Station orbit:

                                 A(t) = 415 - sin({\frac{2*\pi*t }{92.8} + \frac{23.2*2*\pi }{92.8} )

- Where the coefficient of t is angular speed of orbit w = 2*p / 92.8

- We know that the relation between angular speed w and time period T of an orbit is related by:

                                T = 2*p / w

                                T = 2*p / (2*p / 92.8)

Hence,                     T = 92.8 min

A 40 kg girl and an 8.4 kg sled are on the surface of a frozen lake, 15 m apart. By means of a rope, the girl exerts a 5.2 N for
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

(a) a_s=0.62\frac{m}{s^2}

(b) a_s=0.13\frac{m}{s^2}

(c) x_f=2.6m

Explanation:

(a) According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force exerted on it and inversely proportional to it's mass.

a_s=\frac{F}{m_s}\\a_s=\frac{5.2N}{8.4kg}\\a_s=0.62\frac{m}{s^2}

(b) According to Newton's third law, the force that the sled exerts on the girl is equal in magnitude but opposite in the direction of the force that the girl exerts on the sled:

a_g=\frac{F}{m_g}\\a_g=\frac{5.2N}{40kg}\\a_g=0.13\frac{m}{s^2}

(c) Using the kinematics equation:

x_f=x_0+v_0t \pm  \frac{at^2}{2}

For the girl, we have x_0=0 and v_0=0. So:

x_f_g=\frac{a_gt^2}{2}(1)

For the sled, we have v_0=0. So:

x_f_s=x_0_s-\frac{a_st^2}{2}(2)

When they meet, the final positions are the same. So, equaling (1) and (2) and solving for t:

x_0_s-\frac{a_st^2}{2}=\frac{a_st^2}{2}\\t^2(a_g+a_s)=2x_0_s\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2x_s_0}{a_g+a_s}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2(15m)}{0.13\frac{m}{s^2}+0.62\frac{m}{s^2}}}\\t=6.32s

Now, we solve (1) for x_f_g

x_f_g=\frac{0.13\frac{m}{s^2}(6.32s)^2}{2}\\x_f_g=2.6m\\x_f=2.6m

The change in motion (acceleration) of an object depends on
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

BOTH the size of the force AND the mass of the object

Explanation:

Acceleration of an object is the rate of change of its velocity.

The relation between force, mass and acceleration is given by the formula as follows :

F = ma

m is mass

a is acceleration

It would mean that the change in motion or the acceleration of an object depends on both the size of the force and the mass of the object. Hence, the correct option is (c).
