The speed of the light for the observers on the Earth appears to be \boxed{c} moving towards the Earth.

Further Explanation:

The speed of the laser beam coming from the spaceship moving away from the Earth at the speed comparable to the speed of light is given by the Einstein’s theory of relativity.

According to the Einstein’s theory, the relative speed observed from the Earth is given as:

u=\dfrac{{{v_{{\text{rel}}}}}}{{1 + \dfrac{{{v_{ship}}\cdot {v_{beam}}}}{{{c^2}}}}}                  ......(1)

Here, u is the speed of light for the observer on the Earth, {v_{{\text{rel}}}} is the relative speed of the light observed from the spaceship,  {v_{ship}}  is the speed of the spaceship, {v_{beam}} is the speed of the laser beam and c is the speed of the light.

The relative speed of the light as observed from the spaceship moving away from Earth is:

{v_{{\text{rel}}}} = {v_{ship}} + {v_{beam}}

Substitute the values of {v_{ship}} and {v_{beam}} in above expression.

\begin{aligned}{v_{{\text{rel}}}} &= 0.7c + \left({ - c}\right)\\&= - 0.3c\\\end{aligned}

Now, substitute the value of {v_{{\text{rel}}}} in equation (1).

\begin{aligned}u&=\dfrac{{ - 0.3c}}{{1 + \dfrac{{0.7c \times\left({ - c}\right)}}{{{c^2}}}}}\\&=\dfrac{{ - 0.3c}}{{1 - 0.7}}\\&=  - c\\\end{aligned}

The negative sign shows that the beam is moving opposite to the direction of motion of the spaceship.

Thus, the speed of the light for the observers on the Earth appears to be \boxed{c} moving towards the Earth.

If an electric current of 8.50 A flows for 3.75 hours through an electrolytic cell containing copper-sulfate (CuSO4) solution, t
muminat

Answer:

75.5g

Explanation:

From the ionic equation, we can write

CU^{2+}+SO^{2-}_{4}\\

next we find the number of charge

Note Q=it

for i=8.5A, t=3.75 to secs 3.75*60*60=13500secs

hence

Q=8.5*13500\\Q=114750C

Since one faraday represent one mole of electron which equal 96500C

Hence the number of mole produced by 114750C is

114750/96500=1.2mol

The mass of copper produced is

mol=\frac{mass}{molar mass} \\mass=mole*molar mass\\mass=1.2*63.5\\mass=75.5g

Hence the amount of copper produced is 75.5g

Atmospheric pressure varies from day to day. The level of a floating ship on a high-pressure day is (a) higher (b) lower, or (c)
frez [133]

Answer:

(c) no different than on a low-pressure day.

Explanation:

The force acting on the ship when it floats in water is the buoyant force. According to the Archimedes' principle: The magnitude of buoyant force acting on the body of the object is equal to the volume displaced by the object.

Thus, Buoyant forces are a volume phenomenon and is determined by the volume of the fluid displaced.  

<u>Whether it is a high pressure day or a low pressure day, the level of the floating ship is unaffected because the increased or decreased pressure at the all the points of the water and the ship and there will be no change in the volume of the water displaced by the ship.</u>

What is the relationship between air pressure and air temperature?
LenKa [72]
The relationship between the two is that air temperature changes the air pressure. For example, as the air warms up the molecules in the air become more active and they use up more individual space even though there is the same<span> number of molecules. This causes an </span>increase<span> in the air pressure.</span>
