B. The closest point in the moon's orbit to Earth. Peri+Geo=close+Earth. The closest thing to the earth is the moon, therefore Perigee has to do with the moon being close to the Earth.

A. How long does it take light to travel through a 3.0-mm-thick piece of window glass?

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

a) $1.517\times10^{-11}$ s

b) 3.41 mm

Explanation:

We take the speed of light, c = $3.0\times10^8$ m/s and the refractive index of glass as 1.517.

Speed = distance/time

Time = distance/speed

Refractive index, n = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

$n=\dfrac{c}{s}$

$s=\dfrac{c}{n}$

$t=\dfrac{d}{c/n}$

$t=\dfrac{dn}{c}$

$t=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{3.0\times10^8}$

$t=1.517\times10^{-11}$

We take the refractive index of water as 1.333.

Speed in water = speed in vacuum / refractive index of water

Distance = speed * time

$d=s\times t$

$d=\dfrac{c}{n_w}\times \dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{c}$

$d=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times 1.517}{1.333}$

d = 3.41 mm

12. A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates vertically. It accelerates uniformly until it

vodomira [7]

Answer:

We kindly invite you to read carefully the explanation and check the image attached below.

Explanation:

According to this problem, the rocket is accelerated uniformly due to thrust during 30 seconds and after that is decelerated due to gravity. The velocity as function of initial velocity, acceleration and time is:

$v_{f} = v_{o}+a\cdot (t-t_{o})$ (1)

Where:

$v_{o}$ - Initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

$v_{f}$ - Final velocity, measured in meters per second.

$a$ - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$t_{o}$ - Initial time, measured in seconds.

$t$ - Final time, measured in seconds.

Now we obtain the kinematic equations for thrust and free fall stages:

Thrust ( $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $a = 30\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $t_{o} = 0\,s$ , $0\,s\le t< 30\,s$ )

$v = 30\cdot t$ (2)

Free fall ( $v_{o} = 900\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $a = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $t_{o} = 30\,s$ , $30\,s \le t \le 120\,s$ )

$v = 900-9.81\cdot (t-30)$ (3)

Now we created the graph speed-time, which can be seen below.

A toy doll and a toy robot are standing on a frictionless surface facing each other. The doll has a mass of 0.2 kg, and the robo

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to newtons second law.

F = mass * acceleration

If the doll has a mass of 0.2 kg, and the robot has a mass of 0.5 kg, the resulting mass will be 0.7kg

Force applied = 1N

acceleration = Force/mass

Substitute the values and get acceleration

acceleration = 1/0.7

acceleration = 1.43m/s²

Hence the magnitude of the acceleration of the robot is 1.43m/s²

The particles that make up protons and neutrons are called

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Quark

Explanation:

In the past the proton,neutron and electron were believed to be indivisible. Quarks were later discovered to be particles that make up the proton and neutron. Quarks are known as fast moving points of energy and are usually joined to one another through gluons. Neutron has two down quarks and one up quark while proton has two up quarks and one down quark.
