Light speed is the speed at which light can travel in a "vacuum" (space for example).

The speed of light is constant and is exactly: 299,792,458 meters per second

ONLY IN A VACUUM!!

The speed of light changes when it goes through different mediums (such as from space to Earth, light travels slower in Earth).

Good luck!

The latent heat of fusion of alcohol is 50 kcal/kg and its melting point is -54oC. It has a specific heat of 0.60 in its liquid

sashaice [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

To melt the alcohol

Heat needed = M . L = 2 . 25 = 50 kcal

To warm up the alcohol

Heat needed = M . sp. ht. . ∆t = 2 . 0.6 . 100 = 120 kcal

Total heat needed = 170 kcal

Assuming that 0.6 kcal/ kg / ˚C is the specific heat and that the answer is wanted in kcal ( a rather odd unit to be in use here.)

A 0.25-m string, vibrating in its sixth harmonic, excites a 0.96-m pipe that is open at both ends into its second overtone reson

Andrews [41]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

length of the pipe, L = 0.96 m

Speed of sound,v = 345 m/s

Resonating frequency when both the end is open

$f = \dfrac{nv}{2L}$

n is the Harmonic number

2nd overtone = 3rd harmonic

so, here n = 3

now,

$f = \dfrac{3\times 345}{2\times 0.96}$

f = 540 Hz

The common resonant frequency of the string and the pipe is closest to 540 Hz.

the correct answer is option D

An electric motor rotating a workshop grinding wheel at 1.06 102 rev/min is switched off. Assume the wheel has a constant negati

kvasek [131]

Answer:

t = 106π / 30*2.1

Explanation:

$w_{i} = 1.06*10^{2}$ => 106

=> 106 x 2π/60

=> 106/30π

∝ = -2.1 rad/sec²

$w_{f}$ => 0

$w_{f}$ = $w_{i}$ + ∝t

∴ ( $w_{f}$ - $w_{i}$ ) / ∝ = t

t = 106π / 30*2.1
