An experiment to measure the speed of light uses an apparatus similar to Fizeau's. The distance between the light source and the

mirror is 10 m, and the wheel has 800 notches. If the wheel rotates at 9000 rev/s when the light from the source is extinguished, what is the experimental value for c (in m/s)?

Answer:

2.88*10^{8} m/s

Explanation:

The speed of light is given by

c=\frac {2d}{t} and t=\frac {\theta}{\omega} hence

c=\omega\frac {2d}{\theta}

Speed of light is given by

c=900\times 2\pi(\frac {2\times 10}{\frac {2\pi}{2*800}}})=2.88*10^{8} m/s

  • 1. The value of m is 3.735

2. The value of n is 7

<h3>What is momentum? </h3>

Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity. It is expressed as

Momentum = mass × velocity

<h3>How to determine the value of m and n</h3>

We can obtain the value of m and n by simply obtaining the momentum in scientific notation. This is illustrated below:

  • Mass of train = 4.5×10⁵ Kg
  • Velocity of train = 8.3×10¹ m/s
  • Momentum =?

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 4.5×10⁵ × 8.3×10¹

Momentum = 3.735×10⁷ Kg⋅m/s

Thus, the value of m and n are: 3.735 and 7

A constant amount of charge passes through a conductor. How is current affected if the same amount of charge passes in less time
baherus [9]

Answer:

B. The current increases.

Explanation:

As we know that rate of flow of charge through the conductor is known as electric current

So we have

i = \frac{q}{t}

here we know that charge Q flowing through the conductor is constant while the time in which it passes through it is decreased

so we can say that the ratio of charge and time will increase

so here we have

i = increased

So correct answer will be

B. The current increases.

The vibrations along a transverse wave move in a direction _________.
GrogVix [38]

Answer: perpendicular to it oscillations.

Explanation: A transverse wave is a wave whose oscillations is perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

By perpendicular, we mean that the wave is oscillating on the vertical axis (y) of a Cartesian plane and the vibration is along the horizontal axis (x) of the plane.

Examples of transverse waves includes wave in a string, water wave and light.

Let us take a wave in a string for example, you tie one end of a string to a fixed point and the other end is free with you holding it.

If you move the rope vertically ( that's up and down) you will notice a kind of wave traveling away from you ( horizontally) to the fixed point.

Since the oscillations is perpendicular to the direction of wave, it is a transverse wave

According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, which statements are true? As we move to higher altitudes, the force of grav
Sliva [168]

According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, as we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us decreases and as we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases both are the true statement.  

<u>Explanation:  </u>

Newton law of universal gravity extends gravity beyond the earth's surface. This gravity depends on the masses directly and inverse to the distance square between their centers.

                                         F=G \frac{M \times m}{r^{2}}

Where,

F – Force, G – gravitational constant, M and m – masses in kg, r – distance in meters.

Since force is proportional to the masses of interacting objects. If the mass of any one object increases, gravity between them also gets increased. When moving to higher altitude, force decreases as the distance is inverse proportion to gravity.
