The speed of light to be slightly less in atmosphere then in vacuum because of absorption and re-emission of light by the atmospheric molecules occurred when light travels through a material
<u>Explanation:</u>
When light passes through atmosphere, it interacts or transmits through the transparent molecules in atmosphere. In this process of transmission through atmosphere, the light will be getting absorbed by them and some will get re-emitted or refracted depending upon wavelength.
But in vacuum the absence of any kind of particles will lead to no interaction and no energy loss, thus the speed of the light will be same in vacuum while due to interactions with molecules of atmosphere, there speed will be slightly less compared to in vacuum.
Potential energy increases as speed decreases. Kinetic increases when speed increases.
Explanation:
the velocity graph of a ball mass 20mg moving along a straight line
64 miles/hour
Therefore 1/64 hours/mile
68 miles * 1/64 hours/mile (notice how miles cancels out)
Therefore the answer is 68/64 hours = 1.0625 hours = 1 hour 3min and 45sec.
