How many nanoseconds does it take light to travel 2.50 feet in a vacuum

A handy-dandy "rule of thumb" that I and many other engineers
have been using for years is:       

                                     1 nanosecond ===> 1 foot. 

Let's figure it out and see whether that's even close:

Speed of light in vacuum = 299,792,458 meters per second.

         (299,792,458 m/s) x ( 1 sec / 10⁹ nanosec) x (3.28084 ft/meter)

     =  (299,792,458 x 1 x 3.28084 x 10⁻⁹)  ft/nanosec

     =            0.983571  ft/nanosec  .

       That's  1.64%  less than  1.000000 .
       The engineer's handy-dandy rule of thumb is valid.

2.5 feet would take

           (2.5  x  0.983571 sec)  =   2.45893 nanoseconds

1. Predict whether the energy required to remove an electron from magnesium and potassium would be more or less than that requir
Inga [223]

In both cases less energy is required

But comparetively Mg require more energy than K

Let's see the electron configuration of Both

  • [Mg]=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²=[Ne]3s²
  • [K]=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹=[Ar]4s¹

K has only one valence electron so very less ionization enthalpy so less energy required

Mg has 2 so more IE hence more energy required

A major strike-slip earthquake on the San Andreas fault in California will cause a catastrophic tsunami affecting residents of S
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

a) true

Explanation:

  • The san andres is a transform fault that forms boundary between the Pacific and the North Atlantic plate and this slip strike is characterized by the latex motion the fault runs in the length of the California state.
  • This plate is widely estimated for the high magnitude of earthquakes and varies from 7.7 to 8.3 magnitude. They are capable of producing a deadly tsunami that can devastate the pacific northwest.

What is the speed of sound at the atmospheric temperature of 30°C?
12345 [234]

The parcel will undergo projectile motion, which means that it will have motion in both the horizontal and vertical direction.


First, we determine how long the parcel will fall using:


s = ut + 1/2 at²


where s will be the height, u is the initial vertical velocity of the parcel (0), t is the time of fall and a is the acceleration due to gravity.


5.5 = (0)(t) + 1/2 (9.81)(t)²

t = 1.06 seconds



A
