How long does it take light to travel 850 km in a vacuum? Answer in ms.(Express your answer to two significant figures.)

Physics

Answer:

0.002833 sec

Explanation:

Speed of light in vacuum is 3\times 10^{8}m/sec

Given distance = 850 km = 850×1000=850000 m

We have to calculate the time that light take to travel the distance 850 km

Time T=\frac{distance }{speed}=\frac{850000}{3\times 10^8}=2.833\times 10^{-3}sec

So the time taken by light to travel 850 km is 0.002833 sec

Hooke’s law states that the distance that a spring is stretched by hanging object varies directly as the mass of the object. If
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

d_{2} = 33.33 cm

Explanation:

Given:

When mass, m_{1} =21 kg

          distance travelled is  d_{1}  = 140 cm

When mass, m_{2} =5 kg

         distance travelled is  d_{2}  = ?

Hooke's law state that within elastic limit, when an external force is applied to a body, the body gets deformed and when the force is released the gets back to its original form.

Therefore according to the question,

\frac{d_{1}}{m_{1}}=\frac{d_{2}}{m_{2}}

\frac{140}{21}=\frac{d_{2}}{5}

d_{2} = 33.33 cm

Distance travelled is 33.33 cm when mass is 5 kg.

According to string theory, six space-time dimensions cannot be measured except as quantum numbers of internal particle properti
aliina [53]

Answer:

Order of 10^(-35) m.

Explanation:

The string theory is a theoretical concept whereby the very small particles of particle physics are replaced by one dimensional objects which are called strings. This theory is also applicable to black hole physics, nuclear physics, cosmology, etc.

Now, according to string theory, six space-time dimensions cannot be measured except as quantum numbers of internal particle properties because they are curled up in size of the order of 10^(-35) m.

This is because the length of the scale is assumed to be on the order of the Planck length, or 10^(−35) meters which is the scale at which the effects of quantum gravity are usually believed to become very significant.
