A vacuum implies an absence of any material, not just air. Light has a fixed speed in a vacuum of about 300,000km per second. There is no medium for electromagnetic radiation and the speed is unaffected by a moving source. The notion of the ether as a medium for light was found to be false by experiment. Answer a applies.

Light does not travel at a constant speed in a vacuum, compared to in air, because the light is being absorbed by atoms and molecules in the air. But light does travel at a constant speed in a vacuum.
So I agree with A
All that talk about moving forward is irrelevant (I think)

A sodium ion, Na+, with a charge of 1.6×10−19C and a chloride ion, Cl− , with charge of −1.6×10−19C, are separated by a distance
sasho [114]

Answer:

W\geq 2.1x10^{-19}J

Explanation:

Due to Coulomb´s law electric force can be described by the formula F=K\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{r^{2}}, where K is the Coulomb´s constant (9x10^{9} N\frac{m^{2} }{C^{2} }), q_{1}= Charge 1 (Na+ in this case), q_{2} is the charge 2 (Cl-) and r is the distance between both charges.

Work made by a force is W=F.d and total work produced is the change in energy between final and initial state. this is W=W_{f} -W_{i}.

so we have W=W_{f} -W_{i} =(K\frac{q_{(Na+)}q_{(Cl-)}rf}{r_{f} ^{2}})-(K\frac{q_{(Na+)}q_{(Cl-)}ri}{r_{i} ^{2}})=Kq_{(Na+)}q_{(Cl-)[\frac{1}{{r_{f}}} -\frac{1}{{r_{i}}}]

Given that ri= 1.1nm= 1.1x10^{-9}m and rf= infinite distance

W=(9x10^{9})(1.6x10^{-19})(-1.6x10^{-19})[\frac{1}{\alpha }-\frac{1}{(1.1x10^{-9})}]=2.1x10^{-19}J

PLEASE HELPPPP what characteristics of the bond you choose are persent in H2O.​
Andrej [43]
Water molecules forming hydrogen bonds with one another. The partial negative charge on the O of one molecule can form a hydrogen bond with the partial positive charge on the hydrogens of other molecules. Water molecules are also attracted to other polar molecules and to ions.
