How does a battery work?
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Essentials. A battery is a device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy. The chemical reactions in a battery involve the flow of electrons from one material (electrode) to another, through an external circuit. The flow of electrons provides an electric current that can be used to do work.

An early method of measuring the speed of light makes use of a rotating slotted wheel. A beam of light passes through one of the
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

4.7 x 10³ rad / s

Explanation:

During the time light goes and comes back , one slot is replaced by next slot while rotating  before the light source

Time taken by light to travel a distance of 2 x 500 m is

= (2 x 500) / 3 x 10⁸

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ s .

In this time period, two consecutive slots come before the source of light one after another by rotation. There are 400 slots so time taken to make one rotation

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ x 400

= 13.33 x 10⁻⁴ s

This is the time period so

T = 13.33 X 10⁻⁴

Angular speed

= 2π / T

= \frac{2\times3.14}{13.33\times10^{-4}}

4.7 x 10³ rad / s

According to general relativity, light : travels along a curve due to length contraction
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

travels along a curve due to uniform gravity

Explanation:

General relativity

The theory was developed by Albert Einstein , it is the theory of gravitation , according to which , the gravitation effect which is observed between the masses , is the resultant of their warping of the space time .

In general relativity , the equivalence principle is the equivalence of inertial gravitational mass .

According to which , the light bends due to gravitational forces ,therefore ,  the light travels along a curve because of uniform gravity .
