The common value for “Speed of light in vacuum” is $\bold{3 \times 10^{8}}$ metre per second.

Answer: Option b

<u>Solution: </u>

Speed of light can be defined as the speed with which light waves propagate in different medium. In vacuum, speed of light is 186,282 miles per second or 299,792 km/s which is rounded off as $3 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ .

“Speed of light in vacuum” is a universal constant and usually represented by ‘c’. Light waves travels at a speed of $3 \times 10^{8}$ metre per second in vacuum.

Answer:

the distance that the object is raised above its initial position is 5.625 m.

Explanation:

Given;

applied effort, E = 15 N

load lifted by the ideal pulley system, L = 16 N

distance moved by the effort, d₁ = 6 m

let the distance moved by the object = d₂

For an ideal machine, the mechanical advantage is equal to the velocity ratio of the machine.

M.A = V.R

$M.A = \frac{Load}{Effort} = \frac{L}{E} \\\\V.R = \frac{disatnce \ moved \ by \ the \ effort}{disatnce \ moved \ by \ the \ load} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\For \ ideal \ machine; \ M.A = V.R\\\\\frac{L}{E} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\d_2 = \frac{E \times d_1}{L} \\\\d_2 = \frac{15 \times 6}{16} \\\\d_2 = 5.625 \ m$
