If an ideal gas does not exist then why laws were stated?

That is because it is impossible to create a law for the behavior of every single different gas, so creating laws for an ideal gas helps us understand the basic nature of gasses which might or might not differ slightly or a lot. By understanding how an ideal gas works, we can understand how a normal gas works.

Which of the statements concerning light are true? The speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling throug

wel

Answer:

The statements that are true concerning light are the last three statements:

Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field.

It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum.

The speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum.

Explanation:

Light is electromagnetic waves.

The properties of the electromagnetic waves were established by James Clerk Maxwell.

They included that they are the result of the oscillation of a magnetic field in phase with an electric field which are always is always perpendicular to each other.

Also, the electromagnetic waves propagate at right-angles to the direction of both the magnetic and the electric field, meaning that they are a type of transverse wave.

Thus, the second statement ("Its propagation direction is parallel to both the electric field and the magnetic field") is false, and the fourth statement ("Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field") is true.

On the other hand, it is a postulate of the special theory of relativity that the speed of light is a constant (absolute value) in vacuum: nothing can travel faster than what light travels in vacuum. Thus, the fifth statement, "It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum" is true.

About the speed of light in matter, it is always less than the speed of light in vacuum. Thus, the first statement, "the speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling through", and the third statement "the speed of light in matter is greater than the speed of light in a vacuum" are false; while the last statement, "the speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum" is true.

The explanation on why the speed of light is less in a medium than in vacuum is related with the fact that at nanoscopic level the waves suffer polarization which means deviations from the straighi path, which makes that the net straight propagation is slower.

A car initially traveling at 15.0 m/s accelerates at a constant rate of 4.50 m/s2 over a distance of 45.0 m. How long does it ta

anygoal [31]

Answer:

2.24 seconds

Explanation:

xf = xo + vo t + 1/2 at^2

45 = 0 + 15 t + 1/2 (4.5) t^2

2.25 t^2 + 15t - 45 = 0 Quadratic formula shows t = 2.24 seconds

A thin walled spherical shell is rolling on a surface. What

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

$=\frac{1/3}{5/6} = 0.4$

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of given shell $= \frac{2}{3} MR^2$

where

M represent sphere mass

R -sphere radius

we know linear speed is given as $v = r\omega$

translational $K.E = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} m(r\omega)^2$

rotational $K.E = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 = \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{3} MR^2 \omega^2$

total kinetic energy will be

$K.E = \frac{1}{2} m(r\omega)^2 + \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{3} MR^2 \omega^2$

$K.E =\frac{5}{6} MR^2 \omega^2$

fraction of rotaional to total K.E

$=\frac{1/3}{5/6} = 0.4$

At which temperature does the motion of atoms and molecules stop?

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

0 Kelvin

Explanation:

Atoms in absolute temperature get approximatelly motionless since 0 Kelvin is -273 degrees Celcius. The kinetic energy of atoms/particles in matter has the possible lowest value ( almost zero), so that there is nothing colder than 0 Kelvin.

Which occupies mrs space, 3m cubed or 100ft cubed

Slav-nsk [51]

The question is somewhat ambiguous.

-- It's hard to tell whether it's asking about '3 cubic meters'
or (3m)³ which is actually 27 cubic meters.

-- It's hard to tell whether it's asking about '100 cubic feet'
or (100 ft)³ which is actually 1 million cubic feet.

I'm going to make an assumption, and then proceed to
answer the question that I have invented.
I'm going to assume that the question is referring to
'three cubic meters' and 'one hundred cubic feet' .

OK. We'll obviously need to convert some units here.
I've decided to convert the meters into feet.

For 1 meter, I always use 3.28084 feet.

Then (1 meter)³ = 1 cubic meter = (3.28084 ft)³ = 35.31 cubic feet.

So 3 cubic meters = (3 x 35.31 cubic feet) = 105.9 cubic feet.

That's more volume than 100 cubic feet.
