<h2>Answer: Invariance of the speed of light in vacuum </h2>

Special relativity was proposed on 1905 by Einstein, who developed his theory based on the following two postulates:

1. The laws of physics are the same in all inertial systems. There is no preferential system.

2. The speed of light in vacuum has the same value for all inertial systems.

Focusing on the first postulate, it can be affirmed that any measurement on a body is made with reference to the system in which it is being measured.

In addition, it deals with the dilation of time stating that time passes at different rates in regions of different gravitational potential. That is, the greater the local distortion of space-time due to gravity, the slower the time passes.

On the other hand, following what relativity establishes, bodies within a gravitational field follow a curved space path.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

3.66m/s^2

Explanation:

First, we need to find the friction which is F=u*N.

After that, find the resultant force by substarcting the friction from the forward force.

Lastly,using the formula F=ma, substitute in the known values of F and m to find a

According to Ohm's law, a circuit with a high resistance _____. will have a low electric current will have a high electric curre

lyudmila [28]

Remark
When you are asked a question like this, the first thing to do is search out a formula and put some limits on it.

Formula
I = E/R which comes from E = IR. To get to the derived formula, divide both sides by R
E/R = I*R/R
E/R = I

Discussion
This is an inverse relationship. That means that as one goes up the other one will go down.

So in this case you keep E constant and you manipulate R and look at your results for I

Case 1
Let us say that E = 10 volts
Let us also say the R = 10 ohms

I = E/R
I = 10/10
I = 1 ohm

Case Two
Let's raise the Resistance to 100 ohms
E = 10
R = 100
I = 10/100 = 0.1

Conclusion
As the Resistance goes up, the current goes down. Answer: A

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

16.63min

Explanation:

The question is about the period of the comet in its orbit.

To find the period you can use one of the Kepler's law:

$T^2=\frac{4\pi}{GM}r^3$
