Answer:
857.5 m
2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds
Explanation:
Time taken by the sound of the thunder to reach the student = 2.5 s
Speed of sound in air is 343 m/s
Speed of light is 3×10⁸ m/s
Distance travelled by the sound = Time taken by the sound × Speed of sound in air
⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 2.5×343 = 857.5 m
⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 857.5 m
Time taken by light = Distance the light travelled / Speed of light
Time taken by light = 2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds
Answer:
1.73 m/s²
Explanation:
Given:
Δx = 250 m
v₀ = 0 m/s
t = 17 s
Find: a
Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²
250 m = (0 m/s) (17 s) + ½ a (17 s)²
a = 1.73 m/s²
Radio waves, gamma-rays, visible light, and all the other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic ... The different types of radiation are defined by the the amount of energy found in the photons.
You've already told us the speed in ft/s . It's right there in the question. You said that light travels about 982,080,000 ft/s.
We don't know how accurate that number is, but for purposes of THIS question, that's the number we're going with.
In scientific notation, it's written . . . <em>9.8208 x 10⁸ ft/s .</em>
We don't know where you were going with the number of seconds in a year. But to answer the question that you eventually asked, it turned out that we don't even need it.
