The sun’s energy is most useful to humans after it is converted to chemical energy. Living organisms like humans and animals could not directly utilize the energy from the sun because of lack in organs that would allow photosynthesis. Humans and animals obtain the energy from the sun from the intake of food. These foods contain chemical energy which is obtained from the solar energy of the sun. Plants use solar energy for photosynthesis which converts the energy into chemical energy. Then, animals and humans eat the plants obtaining the chemical energy which can readily processed by the body as compared to solar energy.
The acceleration and distance is related to the following expression:
y=v0*t + a*t^2/2 ; v0=0
y=44.1*100/2 = 2205m
hence, the speed will be
v=0 + a*t = 441m/s
from that height it will just be subjected to the gravitational acceleration
0=v_acc^2 -2g*y_free
y_free = v_acc^2/2g = 9922.5m
<span>y_max = y_acc+y_free = 441+9922.5 =10363.5m</span>
One of the many random useless factoids that I carry around
in my head is the factoid that 60 miles per hour is equivalent
to exactly 88 feet per second.
So in three seconds at that speed, you would cover exactly
(3 x 88) = 264 feet.
Using the precise speed of light in a vacuum (
), and your given distance of
, we can convert and cancel units to find the answer. The distance in m, using
, is
. Next, for the speed of light, we convert from s to min, using
, so we divide the speed of light by 60. Finally, dividing the distance between the Sun and Venus by the speed of light in km per min, we find that it is
6.405 min.
