How long (in ns) does it take light to travel 1.0 m in vacuum?

1 answer:

6 0

If light travels 290,000,000 meters in 1 second, simply divide 1 second by 290,000,000 to find the time it takes to travel 1 meter.

1 / 290,000,000 = 0.000000003448 seconds (or 3.5 nano seconds)

The Southwest Indian Ridge, shown in red, moves at an average rate of 20 mm/year, making it among the ultraslow spreading ridges

blagie [28]

v = average speed of movement of the Southwest Indian Ridge = 20 mm/year

d = distance moved by the Southwest Indian Ridge = 100 mm

t = number of years required to move distance "d"

distance traveled is given as

d = v t

inserting the above values in the formula

100 mm = (20 mm/year) t

dividing both side by 20 mm/year

t = 100 mm/(20 mm/year)

t = 5 years

Calculate the work done by the cyclist when his power output is 200 W for 1800 seconds.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

3.6 × 10^5 J

Explanation:

Work Done = Energy

Energy = Power × time

Energy = 200 × 1800

= 360000 J

W =

$3.6 \times 10 {}^{5} j$

Two particles A and B start simultaneously from a Point P with velocities 20 m/s and 30 m/s respectively. A and B move with acce

zysi [14]

Answer:

20 m/s

Explanation:

Given

u(A) = 20 m/s
u(B) = 30 m/s
acceleration equal in magnitude but opposite in direction

Solving

Velocity of A at Q = 30 m/s
From, P to Q, Δv(A) = 30 - 20 = +10 m/s
Therefore, velocity of B at Q will be decreased by 10 as it is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to A
Δv(B) = v(B at Q) - u(B at P)
-10 m/s = v(B at Q) - 30 m/s
v(B at Q) = 30 - 10 = 20 m/s
