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!

Answer:

a.Attractive

$2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N$

Explanation:

When it comes to charges, the charges which are alike repel each other and the charges which are different will attract each other.

Here, there is a proton and electron which are different particles hence, they will attract each other.

$q_1=q_2$ = Charge of electron and proton = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

r = Distance between them = 997 nm

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Force is given by

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{(997\times 10^{-9})^2}\\\Rightarrow F=2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N$

The force of attraction between the particles will be $2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N$

Estimate the number of atoms in 1 cm^3 of a solid

dexar [7]

Avogadro's number: 6.02 x 10^23 atoms is present in 1mol of a solid (i.e. 22, 400 cm3)

Hence, in 1 cm3, 6.02 x 10^23 /22400 atoms is present = 2 x 10 ^ 19 atoms.
