The question is defective. If her acceleration is 2.5 m/s/s, then her speed is 2.5 m FASTER each second, and she will never stop.

Which describes why people on earth can see light from the stars in the sky that are so far away?

Ugo [173]

Yes, C is correct. It self explains itself as we know light travels through a vacuum ( doesn't need a medium) and light is a type of electromagnetic wave.

Two rigid rods are oriented parallel to each other and to the ground. The rods carry the same current in the same direction. The

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The current in the rods is 171.26 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of rod = 0.85 m

Mass of rod = 0.073 kg

Distance $d = 8.2\times10^{-3}\ m$

The rods carry the same current in the same direction.

We need to calculate the current

I is the current through each of the wires then the force per unit length on each of them is

Using formula of force

$\dfrac{F}{L}=\dfrac{\mu_{0}I^2}{2\pi d}$

$\dfrac{mg}{L}=\dfrac{\mu_{0}I^2}{2\pi d}$

Where, m = mass of rod

l = length of rod

Put the value into the formula

$I^2=\dfrac{mgd}{\mu L}$

$I^2=\dfrac{0.073\times9.8\times8.2\times10^{-3}}{2\times10^{-7}}$

$I=\sqrt{29331.4}$

$I=171.26\ A$

Hence, The current in the rods is 171.26 A.

6. A car is traveling at 50m/s when it begins to slow down to

ki77a [65]

Answer:

-6 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 50 m/s

v = 20 m/s

t = 5 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

20 m/s = a (5 s) + 50 m/s

a = -6 m/s²

They realize there is a thin film of oil on the surface of the puddle. If the index of refraction of the oil is 1.81, and they o

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The right solution is "165.8 nm".

Explanation:

Given:

Index of refraction,

n = 1.81

Wavelength,

λ = 600 nm

We know that,

⇒ $t=\frac{\lambda}{2\times n}$

By putting the values, we get

$=\frac{600}{2\times 1.81}$

$=165.8 \ nm$

Consider a piston filled with 3 mols of an ideal gas, kept at a constant temperature 290 K. We slowly compress the gas starting

kap26 [50]

Answer: $-5013.65\ J$

Explanation:

Given

No of moles $n=3$

Temperature $T=290\ K$

Initial volume $V_1=2\ m^3$

Final volume $V_2=1\ m^3$

Work done in constant temperature process is

$W=nRT\ln \left(\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}\right)$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow W=3\times 8.314\times 290\ln \left (\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\\\\\Rightarrow W=-870\times 8.314\times \ln (2)\\\Rightarrow W=-5013.65\ J$
