Please help what is the definition ligthspeed

Physics

aev [14]3 years ago

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:

Explanation:

As the contour lines have roughly the same spacing but the actual topography is much steeper, the lines on the mountainous map represent a larger vertical spacing than the lines on the gradual hills.

A person of mass 55 kg swings on a rope length 4 m from rest (when the rope makes an angle of 30 degrees with the vertical) and
vovangra [49]

Answer:

θ = 19.66°

Explanation:

To determine the angle that the rope makes with the vertical for the two people, you first take into account the potential energy of the first person before he swings on the rope:

U=mgh

h: distance to the ground

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

m: mass of the first person = 55 kg

In the image attache below you can notice that the height h is:

h=4-4cos(30\°)=0.53m

Then, the potential energy is:

U=(55kg)(9.8m/s^2)(0.53m)=285.67J

When the first person picks up the second person (when the rope is exactly vertical), all the potential energy becomes kinetic energy. Next, when both people reaches the maximum height h' the energy must be equal to the initial potential energy of the first person:

U'=(m_1+m_2)gh'=285.67\ J

From the previous equation you can get h':

h'=\frac{285.67J}{(55kg+70kg)(9.8m/s^2)}=0.2332m

Finally, you obtain the angle between the rope at the height h,' and the vertical, by calculating the following:

h'=4-4cos(\theta)\\\\\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{4-h'}{4})=cos^{-1}(\frac{4-0.2332}{4})=19.66\°

hence, the angle between the rope and the vertical, when the two people are in the rope is 19.66°

Use newton's laws to find an expression for the net external force acting on the car. ignore air resistance.
alexira [117]
Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

Newton's second law of motion can be expressed as Fnet = ma. The next external for acting on, say for example, a moving car are the following:

*weight due to gravity (force down)
*friction force between he road and the car's tires (force opposite the car's direction)
