The speed of light is the speed all waves travel ?
No, only the speed of all electromagnetic waves.
It's different for ocean waves, rope waves, sound waves,
guitar-string waves, slinky waves, etc.

The speed of light is the speed electromagnetic waves travel ?
Yes.  Light is one of the electromagnetic waves.

The speed of light is 3.0 x 108 m/s in space ?
Yes.  That's a good approximation, and a nice easy number
to remember. 
It's only about 0.07% faster than the real number:  2.99792458 x 10⁸ m/s .

The speed of light is the same in all matter ?
No.  It's different in every substance, and the speed in any
substance is less than the speed in space (vacuum).

The speed of higher frequency light slows down
more than
lower frequency light in matter ?
Yes, slightly.  That's why the colors spread out on the way
through a prism to make a spectrum, or on the way through
raindrops to make a rainbow.

A basketball rolls without slipping (starting from rest) down a ramp. If the ramp is sloped by an angle of 4 degrees above the h
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

11.7 m/s

Explanation:

To find its speed, we first find the acceleration of the center of mass of a rolling object is given by

a = gsinθ/(1 + I/MR²) where θ = angle of slope = 4, I = moment of inertia of basketball = 2/3MR²

a = 9.8 m/s²sin4(1 + 2/3MR²/MR²)

  = 9.8 m/s²sin4(1 + 2/3)

  = 9.8 m/s²sin4 × (5/3)

  = 1.14 m/s²

To find its speed v after rolling for 60 m, we use

v² = u² + 2as where u = initial speed = 0 (since it starts from rest), s = 60 m

v = √(u² + 2as) = √(0² + 2 × 1.14 m/s × 60 m) = √136.8 = 11.7 m/s

What kind of radiation is emitted in the following nuclear reaction
miv72 [106K]

Beta emission is occurring in the given nuclear reaction.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

In this equation, the reactant is the Thorium atom, which is reduced to palladium. As the atomic number get decreased by one, so an electron will be emitted. This process of emission of electrons by radiation or decaying the reactant nuclei to form a new product nuclei is termed as beta emission.

So, the electrons are generally termed as beta particles while the positrons are termed as positive beta particles. So this is a kind of radioactive reactions where the reactant changes to new element by releasing an electron and thus there is a change in the atomic number of the product by one.

A power cycle operates between a lake’s surface water at a temperature of 300 K and water at a depth whose temperature is 285 K.
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: a) 0.04kW = 40W

b) 0.05

Explanation:

A)

Thermal efficiency of the power cycle = Input / output

Input = 10 kW + 14,400 kJ/min = 10 kW + 14,400 kJ/(60s) = 10 kW + 14,400/60 kW.

Output = 10 kW

Thermal Efficiency = Output / Input = 10kW / 250kW = 0.04KW = 40W

B)

Maximum Thermal Efficiency of the power cycle = 1 - T1/T2

Where T1 = 285kelvin

And T2 = 300kelvin

Maximum Thermal Efficiency = 1 - T1/T2 = 1 - 285/300 = 0.05
