Answer:

The difference between ice and steam in Celsius (Centigrade) is 100 deg.

So the difference between and 4 cm and 24 cm of the thread corresponds to 100 deg C.

So 8 cm is 4 cm greater than the ice point

4 cm / 20 cm = 1/5     since the steam point and the ice point are 20 cm apart

Then 1/5 * 100  deg C = 20 deg C   the requested temperature

A rocket is moving at 1/4 the speed of light relative to Earth. At the center of this rocket a light suddenly flashes. To an obs
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

B. the light will reach the front of the rocket at the same instant that it reaches the back of the rocket.

Explanation:

To an observer at rest in the rocket who can't see either sides of the rocket, the speed of the light is constant which means the distance to the front or the back is same and would appear to reach the rocket at the same time.

Although from the point of view of the person on the earth, the front of the rocket is travelling in opposite direction of the light while the back of the rocket is moving closer to the light. This means that the distance travelled by the light going forward will be longer going backwards. And since the speed of light is constant in both directions, the light will reach the back of the rocket before it reaches the front  for the observer on the earth.

Number of complete 90.9 MHz radio waves over a 1.50 km distance
zimovet [89]
You could answer this right away IF you knew the length of each wave, right ?

Well,  Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency).

Speed = 3 x 10⁸ m/s  (the speed of light)
and
Frequency = 90.9 x 10⁶ Hertz.

So the length of each wave is  3 x 10⁸ / 90.9 x 10⁶  meters.

To answer the question, see how many pieces you have to cut
that 1.5 km into, in order for each piece to be 1 wavelength. 
It'll be

(1,500 meters) divided by (3 x 10⁸ meters/sec) / (90.9 x 10⁶ Hz)

To divide by a fraction, flip the fraction and then multiply:

(1500 meters) times (90.9 x 10⁶ Hz)/(3 x 10⁸ meters/sec)

=   454.5
