Answer:

distance when the weight is 8 ​kg is 26.66 cm

Explanation:

given data

distance d2 = 10 cm

weight w2 = 3 ​kg

weight w1 = 8 kg

to find out

distance when the weight is 8 ​kg

solution

we consider here distance d1 when weight is 8 kg

so equation will be

d1/d2 = w1/w2

d/10 = 8/ 3

so d = 8/3 × 10

so d = 26.66

distance when the weight is 8 ​kg is 26.66 cm

Which of the statements concerning light are true? The speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling throug
wel

Answer:

The statements that are true concerning light are the last three statements:

  • Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field.
  • It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum.
  • The speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum.

Explanation:

<em>Light</em> is <em>electromagnetic waves.  </em>

The properties of the electromagnetic waves were established by James Clerk Maxwell.

They included that they are the result of the oscillation of a <em>magnetic field </em>in phase with an <em>electric field</em> which are always is always <em>perpendicular</em> to each other.

Also, the electromagnetic waves propagate at right-angles to the direction of both the magnetic and the electric field,  meaning that they are a type of transverse wave.

Thus, the second statement (<em>"Its propagation direction is parallel to both the electric field and the magnetic field"</em>) is false, and the fourth statement ("Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field") is true.

On the other hand, it is a postulate of the special theory of relativity that the speed of light is a constant (absolute value) in vacuum: nothing can travel faster than what light travels in vacuum. Thus, the fifth statement, <em>"It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum"</em> is true.

About the speed of light in matter, it is always less than the speed of light in vacuum. Thus, the first statement, "<em>the speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling through</em>", and the third statement "<em>the speed of light in matter is greater than the speed of light in a vacuum"</em> are false; while the last statement, "<em>the speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum</em>" is true.

The explanation on why the speed of light is less in a medium than in vacuum is related with the fact that at nanoscopic level the waves suffer polarization which means deviations from the straighi path, which makes that the net straight propagation is slower.

1.How far is Object Z from the origin at t = 3 seconds?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

1.) How far is Object Z from the origin at t = 3 seconds

The distance of the object Z from the origin will be the slope of the graph.

Slope = 4/2 = 2m

2.) Which object takes the least time to reach a position 4 meters from the origin ?

According to the graph given to the question above, object Z has the list time which is 2 seconds since object X does not start from the origin.

3.) Which object is farthest from the origin at t = 2 seconds?

The correct answer is still object Z because it has the highest slope.

Two blocks of masses 3.0 kg and 5.0 kg are connected by a spring and rest on a frictionless surface. They are given velocities t
miskamm [114]

Answer:

-0.7 m/sec

Explanation:

Mass of first block = m1 =3.0 kg

Mass of second block = m2= 5.0 kg

Velocity of first block = V1= 1.2 m/s

Velocity of second block = V2 = ?

Momentum of Center of mass MVcom  is sum of both blocks momentum and is given by

MVcom= m1v1+m2v2

Where

M= mass of center of mass

Vcom= Velocity of center of mass=0 m/s (because center of mass is at rest , so Vcom = 0 m.sec)

Putting values, we get;

0= 3×1.2+5v2

==> v2=  3.6/5= - 0.7 m/s

-ve sign indicates that block 2 is moving in opposite direction of block 1
