Explain why the speed of light is lower than 3.0 x 108 m/s as it goes through different media.

Physics
1 answer:
jekas [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Sample Response: In a vacuum, there are no atoms or particles that interfere with the path of light. However, in other media, the speed of light is lower than 3.0 × 108 m/s because the wave is continuously absorbed and re-emitted by each atom in its path. The differences in speed are due to the composition of the medium and the density of the particles in the medium.

Answer: ok so this is a true story when i was little and i always like telling story's so here it is...

What does this image reveal about gravityon the moon compared to Earth?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

ANSWER:

The Moon's gravity is less than Earth's.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

When you jump, you fall back to the ground. Apples or leaves also fall: we are all attracted to the Earth. It is the terrestrial attraction due to the force of gravity.

The force of gravity also exists on the Moon. But since the Moon is smaller than the Earth, the attraction felt on the Moon is smaller than the Earth's attraction.

As the gravity is less, you can do things such as the one shown in the image.

As the force of attraction is less, the weight is less on the Moon, which can cause things that would be impossible on Earth.

A wire runs left to right and carries a current in the direction shown. What is the direction of the magnetic field at point Z?
Vanyuwa [196]
The correct option is out of the screen.

As the motion of positive charge is the direction of current in the wire. From the right-hand curl rule, the magnetic field direction will be outside the paper or the screen. As the <span>wire runs left to right and carries a current in the direction from left to right, the magnetic field lines will be outside the screen.</span>

A driver drives for 30.0 minutes at 80.0 km/h, then 45.0 minutes at 100 km/h. She then stops 30 minutes for lunch. She then trav
bija089 [108]

Answer:

b) 68,9 km/h a) picture

Explanation:

In this problem, since velocity is expressed in km/h and time in minutes, we have to convert either time to hours or velocity to km/min. It is easier to use hours.

Using this formula we pass time to hours:

t_{hours}=t_{min}*\frac{1 h}{60 min}\\30min*\frac{1 h}{60 min}=0,5h\\45min*\frac{1 h}{60 min}=0,75h

Now we can plot speed vs time (image 1). The problem says that the driver uses constant speed, so all lines have to be horizontal.

Using the values of the speed we calculate the distance in each interval

d=v*t\\80km/h*0.5h=40km\\100km/h*0.75h=75km

Using these values and the fact that she was having lunch in the third one (therefore stayed in the same position), we plot position vs time, using initial position zero (image 2, distance is in km, not meters).

Finally, we compute the average speed with the distance over time:

v_{average}=\frac{155km}{2.25h}=68.9km/h

Which statement best describes the energy of activation?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

hi <3

i believe the answer would be D, as when the temperature increases the particles have more energy and can overcome the activation energy more rapidly.

hope this helps :)
