Answer:

1.85c

Explanation:

a photon moves at c, the electron is moving at 0.85c, and since they are moving in opposing directions, the relative speed would be 1.85c

Two spaceships that have different masses but rocket engines of identical force are at rest in space. if they fire their rockets
NISA [10]
Force is calculated F=m×a.
If both ships speed up with the same force, but have a different mass, This means that a also has to be different. If F is the same but ship a has a bigger mass(m) than ship b, then the acceleration(a) of ship b has to be bigger so F of each ship is the same. So the ship with the smaller mass will speed up faster.

What average force is required to stop a 980 kg car in 9.0 s if the car is traveling at 91 km/h ?
kozerog [31]
Newton's second law of motion:
F=ma
a =  \frac{v}{t}
You convert from km/h to m/s by dividing by 3.6:
v = 91 \div 3.6
v = 25.3 \:  \frac{m}{s}
Then a is:
a =  \frac{25.3}{9}
a = 2.8  \frac{m}{s {}^{2} }
Then:
F=(980)(2.8)=2744 N

Light travels at 3. 0 × 108 m/s in a vacuum and slows to 2. 0 × 108 m/s in glass. What is the index of refraction of glass?.
Sergio039 [100]

The required value of the index of refraction of glass is 1.5.

Given data:

The speed of light in a vacuum is, c = 3.0 \times 10^{8} \;\rm m/s.

The speed of light in a glass is, v = 2.0 \times 10^{8} \;\rm m/s.

Light has the tendency to travel from one medium to another, then the difference between the speeds of light in various mediums is determined by a term, known as the index of refraction. The mathematical expression for the index of refraction of glass is,

n = c / v

Solving as

n = \dfrac{3.0 \times 10^{8}}{2.0 \times 10^{8}}\\\\n = 1.5

Thus, we can conclude that the required value of the index of refraction of glass is 1.5.

You should have observed that there are some frequencies where the output is stronger than the input. Discuss how that is even p
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

w = √ 1 / CL

This does not violate energy conservation because the voltage of the power source is equal to the voltage drop in the resistence

Explanation:

This problem refers to electrical circuits, the circuits where this phenomenon occurs are series RLC circuits, where the resistor, the capacitor and the inductance are placed in series.

In these circuits the impedance is

             X = √ (R² +  (X_{C} -X_{L})² )

where Xc and XL is the capacitive and inductive impedance, respectively

            X_{C} = 1 / wC

           X_{L} = wL

From this expression we can see that for the resonance frequency

           X_{C} = X_{L}

the impedance of the circuit is minimal, therefore the current and voltage are maximum and an increase in signal intensity is observed.

This does not violate energy conservation because the voltage of the power source is equal to the voltage drop in the resistence

               V = IR

Since the contribution of the two other components is canceled, this occurs for

                X_{C} = X_{L}

                1 / wC = w L

                w = √ 1 / CL
