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!

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

b) True Only if the finger is isolated from ground

c) True. The total charge does not change since the system is isolated

Explanation:

When the electroscope is touched with an acrylic rod, some charges are transferred from the electroscope to the rod, until the charge in both is equal.

In the case it know when the electroscope is touched with a finger, two things can happen.

- The body is isolated from the ground, the efective charge is redistributed between the two bodies. Case similar to insulating rod

- The body is connected to ground, the charge is transferred to the finger and from here to the ground until the total charge is transferred and the Earth and the final charge of the electroscope is zero.

Let's review the final statements

a) False, when part of the load is touched, it passes to the rod, so when it separates it does not return to the initial load

b) True Only if the finger is isolated from ground

c) True. The total load does not change since the system is isolated

d) False. The value of the load changes =, but its sign does not

malfutka [58]

Energy needs, in total kilocalories per day, are greater during adolescence than any other time of life. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "b". Only during the time of pregnancy will a girl require more kilocalories per day than during the time of adolescence.

You can use any coordinate system you like in order to solve a projectile motion problem. To demonstrate the truth of this state

posledela

Answer:

a) y₂ = 49.1 m , t = 1.02 s , b) y = 49.1 m , t= 1.02 s

Explanation:

a) We will solve this problem with the missile launch kinematic equations, to find the maximum height, at this point the vertical speed is zero

$v_{y}$ ² = $v_{oy}$ ² - 2 g (y –yo)

The origin of the coordinate system is on the floor and the ball is thrown from a height

y-yo = $v_{oy}² /2 g
 y- 0 = 10.0²/2 9.8
 y - 0 = 5.10 m
 
The height from the ground is the height that rises from the reference system plus the depth of the ground from the reference system
 y₂ = 5.1 + 44
 y₂ = 49.1 m
Let's use the other equation to find the time
 [tex]v_{y}$ = $v_{oy}$ - g t

t = $v_{oy}$ / g

t = 10 / 9.8

t = 1.02 s

b) the maximum height

y- 44.0 = $v_{y}$ ² / 2 g

y - 44.0 = 5.1

y = 5.1 +44.0

y = 49.1 m

The time is the same because it does not depend on the initial height

t = 1.02 s

True or false Scientific endeavor is driven by both simple curiosity as well as societal demands

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

its true that Scientific endeavor is driven by both simple curiosity as well as societal demands.

Explanation:

When a scientist has a curiosity about something he carried out a research. and when their is a demand of something in society that time scientific research is carried out. Therefore its true that a scientific endeavor is driven by simple curiosity or societal demand.

For example

in society, there is demand of a medicine which can completely kill the cancer and a scientist has curiosity to know how to kill cancer cell. In this way a scientific endeavor for cancer medicine can be carried out by both simple curiosity as well as societal demands.
