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

Physics
1 answer:
OLEGan [10]3 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.

Two identical masses are connected to two different flywheels that are initially stationary. Flywheel A is larger and has more m
inysia [295]

Answer:

a) True. There is dependence on the radius and moment of inertia, no data is given to calculate the moment of inertia

c) True. Information is missing to perform the calculation

Explanation:

Let's consider solving this exercise before seeing the final statements.

We use Newton's second law Rotational

      τ = I α

     T r = I α

     T gR = I α

     Alf = T R / I (1)

     T = α I / R

Now let's use Newton's second law in the mass that descends

     W- T = m a

     a = (m g -T) / m

The two accelerations need related

     a = R α

    α = a / R

    a = (m g - α I / R) / m

    R α = g - α I /m R

    α (R + I / mR) = g

    α = g / R (1 + I / mR²)

We can see that the angular acceleration depends on the radius and the moments of inertia of the steering wheels, the mass is constant

Let's review the claims

a) True. There is dependence on the radius and moment of inertia, no data is given to calculate the moment of inertia

b) False. Missing data for calculation

c) True. Information is missing to perform the calculation

d) False. There is a dependency if the radius and moment of inertia increases angular acceleration decreases

Match each item with the clean water regulation it describes. (2 points)
Leona [35]

The correct match of each item to the clean water regulation it describes is as follows:

  • Regulates pollutants discharged into surface waters: Clean water act
  • Covers both surface and ground waters: Safe drinking water act
  • Authorizes the EPA to establish minimum standards for tap water: Safe drinking water act
  • Funds sewage treatment plants: Clean water act

<h3>What are the functions of clean water regulation?</h3>

Clean Water Act (CWA) is a regulatory body that establishes the basic structure for the regulation of pollutants discharge and maintenance of quality standards of the surface waters.

On the other hand, the Safe Drinking Water Act was founded to oversee the protection of the quality drinking water. The regulatory body is primarily concerned with potable water all waters, whether from above ground or underground sources.

Therefore, the correct match of each item to the clean water regulation it describes is as follows:

  • Regulates pollutants discharged into surface waters: Clean water act
  • Covers both surface and ground waters: Safe drinking water act
  • Authorizes the EPA to establish minimum standards for tap water: Safe drinking water act
  • Funds sewage treatment plants: Clean water act

A roller coaster starts from rest at its highest point and then descends on its (frictionless) track. its speed is 40 m/s when i
Alenkinab [10]

Given that,

Initial velocity , Vi = 0

Final velocity , Vf = 40 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity , a = 9.81 m/s²

Distance can be calculated as,

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 *s = 40² - 0²

s = 81.55 m

For half height, that is, s = 40.77m

Vf= ??

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 * 40.77 = Vf² - 0²

Vf² = 800

Vf = 28.28 m/s

Therefore, speed of roller coaster when height is half of its starting point will be 28 m/s.

Why might a balloon, that is inflated almost to its capacity, pop or explode on an extremely warm day?
REY [17]
On an extremely warm day, the balloon might pop because gases expand the hotter they get, and due to its temperature it is likely to pop if it is, indeed, nearly, if not completely, filled to its capacity.  I hope this helps, have a nice day!
