Answer: A: a ray of visible light  

Explanation:

Light is an electromagnetic radiation. It can travel through vacuum as well as medium. The speed of light is maximum in vacuum i.e. 3 × 10⁸ m/s. From experiments, scientists know that nothing can exceed the speed of the light i.e this speed of light is the upper limit and o particle or wave can travel with speed greater than this. Thus, a ray of visible light would have the greatest speed when observed by an astronaut.

A baby carriage is sitting at the top of a hill that is 21 m high. The carriage with the baby has a mass of 4kg. The carriage ha
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

E=252J

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of an object or system is given by:

E mech=K+U

Where K is the kinetic energy of the object and U is the potential energy of the object. The carriage, sitting motionless at the top of the hill, has only potential energy in the form of gravitational potential energy.

Gravitational potential energy is given by:

Ug=mgh

Where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration constant, and h is the height of the object above some specific reference point, in this case the ground 21 m below.

The weight of a stationary object at the surface of the earth is equal to the force of gravity acting on the object.

W=→Fg=mg

We are given that the carriage weighs 12 N, therefore mg=12N.

Ug=12N⋅21m

⇒Ug=252Nm=252J

Hope it helped, God bless you!

( 8c5p79) A certain force gives mass m1 an acceleration of 13.5 m/s2 and mass m2 an acceleration of 3.5 m/s2. What acceleration
Talja [164]

Answer:

4.725 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

We know that from Newton's second law of motion, F=ma hence making acceleration the subject then a=\frac {F}{m}  where a is acceleration, F is force and m is mass

Also making mass the subject of the formula m=\frac {F}{a}

For m1= \frac {F}{13.5} and m2=\frac {F}{3.5} hence F=(m2-m1)a= (\frac {F}{3.5}-\frac {F}{13.5})a=0.2116402116\\\frac {1}{a}=0.2116402116\\a=4.725 m/s^{2}

The "Biltmore Agreement" stipulated that a. remote broadcasts could not emanate from hotels. b. NBC could not give away tickets
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The "Biltmore Agreement" stipulated that:

Radio stations agreed to broadcast no longer than five minutes of news, twice per day, while using information supplied by the newspapers.

e. radio stations could only air five-minutes newscasts a day.

Explanation:

The Biltmore Agreement tried to reconcile within the press war between newspapers and radio, as during its golden age the newspapers´ revenues decreased. Radio´s brand new technology was more attractive and creative for advertising and could report breaking news faster than the newspapers, which through the press associations including the Associated Press and the United Press, pressured to stop providing news to radio stations beginning a war in 1933, which partially ended with the Biltmore Agreement, which restricted the radio´s broadcasting of news if the newspapers continued publishing radio listings, radio stations were to broadcast no longer than five minutes of news, twice per day, if information supplied by the newspapers was used, no sponsors were allowed, and no more that 30 words in a single story were allowed either;  radio stations had to include: "See your daily newspaper for further details" in their announcements and, could only broadcast news after 9:30 AM for morning news, and after 9:00 PM for evening news, so people would have already received their newspapers.
