Answer:
Take the measurement of the distance (d) with a meter rule (in meters) and also measure the time (t) of the travel in seconds with a stopwatch.
question: What is the speed of the cart?
Explanation:
The speed of an object in motion is the distance covered by the object with respect to time, that is, the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to reach that distance.
Speed = distance / time
= d (in meters m) / t (in seconds s) = m/s
Answer:
Therefore, light travelling at 3.0x10^8 meters per second takes 500 seconds (8 minutes, 20 seconds) to reach the Earth, which is 1.5x10^11 meters away from the sun
Explanation:
Power is the amount of work done over a period of time. If you will put that into an equation, the formula of power will be:
P = W/t
Where:
P = power
W=work
t = time
Your problem already provides you with work and time so all you need to do is divide:
P = W/t
P = 50J/30s
P = 1.67 W
