<span>one year is 365, 1 day is 24 hours, 1 hour is 60 minutes, 60 minutes is 60 seconds, thus (365 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 31,536,000 one year is equal to 31,536,000 seconds. the plate has a speed of 4.8 cm every 31,536,000 seconds. lets find out how far it goes in 40 seconds. (4.8/31,536,000)*40 = 0.00000608828 The plate moves 0.00000608828 cm every 40 seconds</span>

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Option D.

Value cannot be calculated without knowing the speed of the train

Explanation:

The speed of the beam can only be calculated accurately when the speed of the train is put into consideration. Based of the theory of relativity, the observer is on the ground, and the train is moving with the beam of light inside it. This causes a variation in the reference frames when making judgements of the speed of the beam. The speed of the beam will be more accurate if the observer is moving at the same sped of the train, or the train is stationary.

To get the correct answer, we have to subtract the speed of the train from the speed calculated.
