Answer:

1606

The main reason for using light years, however, is because the distances we deal with in space are immense. If we stick to miles or kilometers we quickly run into unwieldy numbers just measuring the distance to the nearest star: a dim red dwarf called Proxima Centauri that sits a mere 24,000,000,000,000 miles away!

amm1812

Answer:

q=3.5*10^-4

Explanation:

<u>concept:</u>

The force acting on both charges is given by the coulomb law:

F=kq1q2/r^2

the centripetal force is given by:

Fc=mv^2/r

The kinetic energy is given by:

KE=1/2mv^2

<u>The tension force:</u>

<u><em>when the plane is uncharged </em></u>

T=mv^2/r

T=2(K.E)/r

T=2(50 J)/r

T=100/r

<u><em>when the plane is charged </em></u>

T+k*|q|^2/r^2=2(K.E)charged/r

100/r+k*|q|^2/r^2=2(53.5 J)/r

q=√(2r[53.5 J-50 J]/k)                                          √= square root on whole

q=√2(2)(53.5 J-50 J)/8.99*10^9

q=3.5*10^-4

A driver is traveling eastward on a dirt road when she spots a pothole ahead. She slows her car from 14.0 m/s to 5.5 m/s in 6.0
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

- 1.42m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity of a body with respect to time.

Acceleration = change in velocity/time

Change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

Acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity/time

Since she slows her car from 14.0 to 5.5m/s in 6seconds,

Initial velocity = 14m/s

Final velocity = 5.5m/s

Time = 6seconds

Substituting in the given formula, we will have

Acceleration = 5.5 - 14/6

Acceleration = - 8.5/6

Acceleration = - 1.42m/s²

The negative acceleration shows that the car decelerates.
