To solve the problem we must know about the relationship between Speed, distance, and Time.

<h3>What is the relationship between Speed, distance, and Time?</h3>

We know that sped, distance, and time all are in a relationship to each other. this relationship can be given as,

\rm{Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}

The speed of the light is 30,060.12 km/sec.

Given to us

  • The distance between the earth and the sun is 15000000km
  • Light takes 499 seconds to reach earth from the sun.

We know that speed can be described as,

\rm{Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}

Therefore,

<h3>What is the speed of the light?</h3>

\text{Speed of light} = \dfrac{\text{Distance between the earth and the sun}}{\text{Time taken by the light to travel the distance}}

Substitute the value,

\text{Speed of light} = \dfrac{15,000,000\ km}{499\ seconds}

\text{Speed of light} = 30,060.12\ km/sec

Hence, the speed of the light is  30,060.12 km/sec.

Answer:

The speed of light is 30,060,120.24048 m/s.

Explanation:

15000000 km into m

1 km = 1000m

15000000 km = 15000000 × 1000 m

= 15000000000m

speed = distance travelled / time taken

or, speed = 15000000000/499 m/s

so, speed = 30,060,120.24048m/s

At any angular speed, a certain uniform solid sphere of diameter D has half as much rotational kinetic energy as a certain unifo
Trava [24]

Answer:

d. 6/5 M.

Explanation:

let the angular velocity =  \omega

the radius of sphere (r) = \frac{D}{2}

moment of inertia of solid sphere I_s = 2/5 M(\frac{D}{2})^2

rotational K.E of solid sphere= \frac{1}{2}* I_s* \omega ^2

=  \frac{1}{2} * 2/5 M(\frac{D}{2})^2 * \omega^2

we represent the mass of hallow sphere= M_{hs}

moment of inertia of solid sphereI_{ss} = 2/3 M_{hs}(\frac{D}{2})^2

rotational K.E of hollow sphere= \frac{1}{2}* I_{ss} * \omega^2

= 1/2 *2/3 M_{hs}(\frac{D}{2})^2* \omega^2

NOW,the kinetic energy of solid sphere= 1/2 kinetic energy of hallow sphere

=1/2 [2/5 M(D/2)^2 ]\omega^2= 1/2 (1/2 (2/3 M_{hs}(D/2)^2 )\omega^2 }

2/5M= 1/3 M_{hs}

M_{hs} = 3(2/5M)

M_{hs} = 6/5 M

Imagine that there is a small rocky body caught by Earth’s gravity. Draw a comic-strip cartoon to illustrate its journey as it t
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

To create this comic strip you can use a narration describing each step and illustrate each one with one image or drawing.

Creating a comic strip involves using images and short texts to explain a specific idea or phenomenon. In the case of the process for a meteor to enter Earth you can use the following ideas.

A meteoroid approaches the Earth at high speed and draw a meteor traveling near to different planets and approaching Earth.

What is that? and draw the Earth wondering who or what is approaching.

The meteoroid enters the atmosphere of the Earth and becomes a meteor and draw the rocky body burning

The rocky body crashes with the surface becoming a meteorite and draw the zone where the meteorite crashed.
