Given

The Sun is d=150 million kilometers away from Earth.

Light travels at v=3 × 10^5 m/s.

To find

How long does it take for light to reach Earth from the Sun?

Explanation

We know

Time taken is given by

\begin{gathered} t=\frac{d}{v} \\ \Rightarrow t=\frac{150\times10^6}{3\times10^5} \\ \Rightarrow t=500sec \end{gathered}

Conclusion

The time taken is D.500 sec

You are moving at a speed 2/3 c toward randy when randy shines a light toward you. at what speed do you see the light approachin
yarga [219]
I see the light moving exactly at speed equal to c.

In fact, the second postulate of special relativity states that:
"The speed of light in free space has the same value c<span> in all inertial frames of reference."
</span>
The problem says that I am moving at speed 2/3 c, so my motion is a uniform motion (constant speed). This means I am in an inertial frame of reference, so the speed of light in this frame must be equal to c.

An ice-skater with a mass of 80kg is holding a bowling ball with a mass of 8 kg. Suppose that the skater tosses the bowling ball
musickatia [10]

Answer:

0.6 m/s

Explanation:

The details of the masses and velocities are;

The mass of the ice skater, m₁ = 80 kg

The mass of the ball, m₂ = 8 kg

The speed with which the skater tosses the ball forward, v₂ = 6 m/s

Therefore;

According to the principle of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

m₁·v₁ = m₂·v₂

Where;

v₁ = The skater's reactive velocity

Therefore, we get;

80 kg × v₁ = 8 kg × 6 m/s

v₁ = 8 kg × 6 m/s/(80 kg) = 0.6 m/s

The skater's reactive velocity, v₁ = 0.6 m/s.
