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

Physics
1 answer:
poizon [28]3 years ago
5 0

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

What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

1. Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not.

2. The ripples made in a pool of water after a stone is thrown in the middle are an example of mechanical wave. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals.

3. Mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude and not by frequency. Electromagnetic Waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles.

4. While an electromagnetic wave is called just a disturbance, a mechanical wave is considered a periodic disturbance.

19. A mass of gas has a volume of 4 m3, a temperature of 290 K, and an absolute pressure of 475 kPa. When the gas is allowed to
Aleks [24]

Recall this gas law:

\frac{P₁V₁}{T₁} = \frac{P₂V}{T₂}

P₁ and P₂ are the initial and final pressures.

V₁ and V₂ are the initial and final volumes.

T₁ and T₂ are the initial and final temperatures.

Given values:

P₁ = 475kPa

V₁ = 4m³, V₂ = 6.5m³

T₁ = 290K, T₂ = 277K

Substitute the terms in the equation with the given values and solve for Pf:

\frac{475*4}{290} = \frac{P₂*6.5}{277}

<h3>P₂ = 279.2kPa</h3>
