The speed of light ________ when light goes through glass.

1 answer:

6 0

What happens when the light hits the glass depends on what it was in before it hit the glass.

WHILE it's in the glass, the speed of light doesn't change.

A proton moves perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic field b with a speed of 3.7 × 107 m/s and experiences an acceleration of 5

svlad2 [7]

The magnetic force experienced by the proton is given by
$F=qvB \sin \theta$
where q is the proton charge, v its velocity, B the magnitude of the magnetic field and $\theta$ the angle between the direction of v and B. Since the proton moves perpendicularly to the magnetic field, this angle is 90 degrees, so $\sin \theta=1$ and we can ignore it in the formula.

For Netwon's second law, the force is also equal to the proton mass times its acceleration:
$F=ma$

So we have
$ma=qvB$
from which we can find the magnitude of the field:
$B= \frac{ma}{qv}= \frac{(1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg)(5\cdot 10^{13}m/s^2)}{(1-6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(3.7 \cdot 10^7 m/s)}=0.014 T$

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

During the segments B - C and D - E, the car stopped since the y axis is the distance and the distance stayed the same in between those segments.

For a simpler answer, the flat horizontal lines on the graph are the times when the car was stopped.

Answer:

Both the astronauts and photographer have the same displacement

Explanation:

Displacement is the minimum distance between two point. The initial point of both the astronauts and the photographer was Florida and the final point was California. So, the minimum distance for both of the astronauts and the photographer would be the distance between Florida and California would be the same.

Hence, both the astronauts and photographer will have the same displacement.
