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

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.

A storm 10.0 km in diameter has wind speeds of 10.0 m/s. What is its angular velocity in radians per second
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The value is w= 2*10^{-3} \  rad/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The diameter of the storm is  d =  10.0 \  km  =  10 000 \  m

   The wind speed is  v  =  10.0 \  m/s

   

Generally the radius is mathematically represented as

       r =  \frac{d}{2}

=>  r =  \frac{10000}{2}

=>    r =  5000 \ m

Generally the angular velocity is mathematically represented as  

        w= \frac{v}{r}

=>     w= \frac{10}{5000}

=>     w= 2*10^{-3} \  rad/s

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

E = σ/ε = (F/A) / (ΔL/L)

E = (mg/(πd²/4) / (ΔL/L)

E = (4mg/(πd²) / (ΔL/L)

E = 4Lmg/(πd²ΔL)

E = 4(30.0)(90)(9.8)/(π(0.01²)0.25)

E = 1.35 x 10⁹ Pa  or 1.35 GPa

6. An aircraft is is travelling along a runway at a Velocity of 25m/s in It accelerates at a rate of 4m/s² for a distance of 750
zysi [14]

Answer:

Take-off velocity = v = 81.39[m/s]

Explanation:

We can calculate the takeoff speed easily, using the following kinematic equation.

v_{f}^{2}=v_{i}^{2} +2*a*x

where:

a = acceleration = 4[m/s^2]

x = distance = 750[m]

vi = initial velocity = 25 [m/s]

vf = final velocity

v_{f}=\sqrt{(25)^{2}+(2*4*750) } \\v_{f}=81.39[m/s]
