What best describes the speed of light waves in solids, liquids, and gases?

Physics
1 answer:
hammer [34]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Generally, the speed of light slows down when passing through a medium that is not a vacuum. This is not always the case, but I will be ignoring the rare/exotic exceptions. Light has a harder time traveling through solids and liquids than it does with gases.

An elevator cab has a mass of 4710 kg and can carry a maximum load of 1910 kg. If the cab is moving upward at full load at 3.80
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Power P=246.78 KW

Explanation:

Mass of Elevator=4710 Kg

Can carry load =1910 Kg

Total Mass m to be lifted =4710 kg + 1910 Kg =6620 kg

speed = 3.80 m/s ⇒ per second distance traveled (height h) = 3.80 m  and    time t = 1 s

Using formula of Power P = \frac{work}{time}

P = \frac{mgh}{t}

P= 6620kg × 9.81 m/s² × 3.80 m / 1s

P= 246780.36 W

P=246.78 KW

Maggie completed a 10000-m race at an average speed of 160
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

<h2>200m/min</h2>

Explanation:

The formula for calculating distance covered = Speed * time

If Maggie completed a 10000-m race at an average speed of 160

m/min, the the time taken by Maggie to complete the race will be expressed as;

Time = Distance/Speed

Time = 10000/160

Time = 62.5 minutes

If it took Tom 12.5 fewer minutes to complete the race, then the time taken by tom to finish the same race will be 62.5 - 12.5 = 50minutes.

To get Tom's average speed, we will use the same formula as above;

From Distance = Speed * Time

Speed = Distance/Time

Since both of them completed the same distance, distance covered by Tom is also 10000m

Tom's speed = 10000/50

Tom's speed = 200m/min

<em>Hence Tom's average speed is 200m/min</em>

A skydiver deploys his parachute when he is 1000m directly above his desired landing spot. He then falls through the air at a st
insens350 [35]
We can calculate his resultant speed.

Resultant speed is:
v^2 = 5^2 + 1,9^2 
v = 5,349 m/s

Now we need to find angle between resultant speed and vertical speed.
cos(alpha) = 5/5.349 = 0.9347
alpha = 20,8 degrees

Answer is 20,8 degrees
