The common value for the speed of light in a vacuum is:

Physics
1 answer:
OLEGan [10]4 years ago
5 0

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.

If spring has a spring constant of 500 N/m and is stretched .50 meters,how much energy is stored in the spring ((show work for f
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

The energy stored is: 62.5 Joules

Explanation:

Given

k = 500N/m --- spring constant

x = 0.5m --- stretch

Required

The amount of energy

This is calculated as:

U = \frac{1}{2} kx^2

U = \frac{1}{2} * 500N/m * (0.5m)^2

U = 250N/m * (0.5m)^2

U = 62.5\ J

Help please! based on the following table, which object has the lowest density? A. object A B. object B C. object C D. object D
seraphim [82]
The answer to this question lies in the definition of density. One material will just float over another if its density is smaller. If one material is denser than the other, it will sink. Density can be defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance at a given pressure and temperature. Thus, for a material to float in water, it does not depend on the weight, or rather on the mass, but on the distribution of the mass by the volume occupied, that is, of the density. The more distributed the mass, that is, the larger its volume, the less dense the object and it will float.


Object C has the lowest density<span>
65 N or 6.5 Kg ------------ 6 N or 6 Kg

This effective mass under water will be its actual mass minus the mass of the fluid displaced. 

The buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
Weight of object - buoyant force on object (the mass of the fluid displaced)

6Kg - 6.5Kg= - 0.5Kg

</span>Answer: C. object C

A symbol on a compass or map that is circular with graded points for the direction is commonly known as a _________. question 13
son4ous [18]

Answer;

-Compass Rose

A symbol on a compass or map that is circular with graded points for the direction is commonly known as a compass rose.

Explanation;

The Earth is a magnet that can interact with other magnets such that, the north end of a compass magnet is drawn to align with the Earth's magnetic field.

A compass rose is a figure on a compass, map, nautical chart, or monument used to display the orientation of the cardinal directions (north, east, south, and west) and their intermediate points. It is a feature on a map that also tells people what direction to go to find certain places on the map

Many physiological conditions are related to particular proteins in cell membranes. The number of insulin receptors in membranes
Afina-wow [57]

Answer: This is an example of downregulation and upregulation.

Explanation:

Downregulation is a process in which cells decrease the production of one of their components, responding to an external stimulus. Upregulation, on the other hand, is when cells increase the production of one of their components in response to an external stimulus.

In this case, the decrease in insulin receptors would make the cell less sensitive to the hormone.

If there's a lot of insulin around those cells, the cell would have to decrease its sensitivity, otherwise, it would metabolise more glucose than the body needs. The contrary would happen if there was too little insulin around those cells, they would have to become more sensitive to it by increasing the number of receptors.
