How many nanoseconds does it take light to travel 3.50 ft in vacuum?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer:3.56 nanosecond

In this case, you are asked the time and given the light distance(3.5ft)
To answer this question you would need to know the velocity of light. Speed of light is <span>299792458m/s. Then the calculation would be:

time= distance/speed
time= 3.5 ft / (</span>299792458m/s) x 0.3048 meter/ 1 ft= 3.56 $10^{-9}$ second or 3.56 nanosecond

Answer:

If Kepler’s laws define the motion of the planets, Newton’s laws define motion. Thinking on Kepler’s laws, Newton realized that all motion, whether it was the orbit of the Moon around the Earth or an apple falling from a tree, followed the same basic principles. “To the same natural effects,” he wrote, “we must, as far as possible, assign the same causes.” Previous Aristotelian thinking, physicist Stephen Hawking has written, assigned different causes to different types of motion. By unifying all motion, Newton shifted the scientific perspective to a search for large, unifying patterns in nature. Newton outlined his laws in Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (“Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy,”) published in 1687.

Law I. Every body perseveres in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed theron.

In essence, a moving object won’t change speed or direction, nor will a still object start moving, unless some outside force acts on it. The law is regularly summed up in one word: inertia.

Law II. The alteration of motion is ever proportional to the motive force impressed; and is made in the direction of the right line in which that force is impressed.

Newton’s second law is most recognizable in its mathematical form, the iconic equation: F=ma. The strength of the force (F) is defined by how much it changes the motion (acceleration, a) of an object with some mass (m).

Law III. To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts.

As Newton himself described: “If you press a stone with your finger, the finger is also pressed by the stone.”

A 1.40 mH inductor and a 1.00 µF capacitor are connected in series. The current in the circuit is described by I = 14.0 t, where

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Inductance L = 1.4 x 10⁻³ H

Capacitance C = 1 x 10⁻⁶ F

a )

current I = 14 .0 t

dI / dt = 14

voltage across inductor

= L dI / dt

= 1.4 x 10⁻³ x 14

= 19.6 x 10⁻³ V

= 19.6 mV

It does not depend upon time because it is constant at 19.6 mV.

b )

Voltage across capacitor

V = ∫ dq / C

= 1 / C ∫ I dt

= 1 / C ∫ 14 t dt

1 / C x 14 t² / 2

= 7 t² / C

= 7 t² / 1 x 10⁻⁶

c ) Let after time t energy stored in capacitor becomes equal the energy stored in capacitance

energy stored in inductor

= 1/2 L I²

energy stored in capacitor

= 1/2 CV²

After time t

1/2 L I² = 1/2 CV²

L I² = CV²

L x ( 14 t )² = C x ( 7 t² / C )²

L x 196 t² = 49 t⁴ / C

t² = CL x 196 / 49

t = 74.8 μ s

After 74.8 μ s energy stored in capacitor exceeds that of inductor.

If the volume is held constant, what happens to the pressure of a gas as temperature is decreased? Explain.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:Decreases

Explanation:

Given

Volume is held constant that is it is a isochoric process.

We know that

PV=nRT

as n,V& R are constant therefore only variables are

P & T

so $\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

$\frac{P_1}{P_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}$

As $T_1$ is decreasing therefore Pressure must also decrease so that ratio remains constant.

Elliptical galaxies are frequently found a) Inside the Milky Way b) In galaxy clusters c) In the Galactic bulge d) In the Local

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The correct option is b) In galaxy clusters

Explanation:

A type of galaxy that appear elliptical in shape and have an almost featureless and smooth image is known as the elliptical galaxy.

An elliptical galaxy is three dimensional and consists of more than one hundred trillion stars which are present in random orbits around the centre.

Elliptical galaxy is generally found in the galaxy clusters.
