If I turn on a light in a spaceship traveling 1C BACKWARDS, what happens to the photons? Speed -0-, or 1C in opposite direction?

1 answer:

5 0

If the spaceship's Physicist happens to be hanging out of one side
of the ship, and he measures the speed of the photons as they pass
him and leave the ship, he'll see them passing him at 'c' ... the speed
of light.

When those photons pass somebody who happens to be in their
path, and he decides to measure their speed, he'll see them move
past him at 'c' ... the speed of light.

It doesn't matter whether the observer who measures them is
moving, or at what speed.

And it doesn't matter what source the photons come from, or
whether the source is moving, or at what speed.

And it doesn't matter what the photons' wavelength/frequency is ...
anything from radio to gamma rays.

The photons pass everybody at 'c' ... the speed of light.

Yes, I hear you. That can't be true. It's crazy.
Maybe it's crazy, but it's true.

What do electric and magnetic fields have in common?

Nastasia [14]

Electric field, an electric property associated with each point in space when charge is present in any form. The magnitude and direction of the electric field are expressed by the value of E, called electric field strength or electric field intensity or simply the electric field.

Magnetic field are a region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts. Magnetic fields are produced by moving electric charges. Everything is made up of atoms, and each atom has a nucleus made of neutrons and protons with electrons that orbit around the nucleus. Since the orbiting electrons are tiny moving charges, a small magnetic field is created around each atom.

Similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields: Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, north and south, although they are also produced by charges (but moving charges). Like pole repel unlike poles attract. Electric field points in the direction of the force experienced by a positive charge.

What is the momentum of a car with a mass of 1,300 kg traveling at a speed of 28 m/s?

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 36,400 kgm/s</h3>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>momentum = mass × velocity</h3>

From the question

mass = 1,300 kg

speed / velocity = 28 m/s

We have

momentum = 1,300 × 28

We have the final answer as
