Presently, the speed of light in a vacuum is defined to be exactly 299,792,458 m/s (approximately 186,282 miles per second). . An early experiment to measure the speed of light was conducted by Ole Romer, a Danish physicist, in 1676. Using a telescope, Ole observed the motions of Jupiter and one of its moons, Io

<u>Answer:</u>

Speed of light = 3 * 10 ^8 m / s. Speed is related to the distance and time and so its unit is in meters and seconds. The speed of light value mentioned above is the value calculated in vacuum or air with the help of lasers.

But when it comes to water, refractive index has to be taken into account.The speed of light is faster in vacuum than other mediums.

What electrical force dies a Uranium nucleus exert on one of its inner electrons, located at a distance of 175 picometers (= 1.7
AlekseyPX

Answer:

correct option is d) 7.0 x 10^-7 N

Explanation:

given data

distance = 175 picometers = 1.75 × 10^{-10}  m

to find out

electrical force

solution

we know atomic no of uranium is 92

and charge on electron is = 1.6 × 10^{-19} C

and electrical force is express as

electrical force = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon _o} \frac{q1q2}{r^2}    .............1

put here value we get

electrical force = 9*10^9 \frac{92*(1.6*10^{-19})^2}{(1.75*10^{-10})^2}

electrical force =  6.921 × 10^{-7} N

so correct option is d) 7.0 x 10^-7 N

What is the magnitude of your displacement when you follow directions that tell you to walk 225 m in one direction, make a 90° t
Gekata [30.6K]

Start by facing East. Your first displacement is the vector

<em>d</em>₁ = (225 m) <em>i</em>

Turning 90º to the left makes you face North, and walking 350 m in this direction gives the second displacement,

<em>d</em>₂ = (350 m) <em>j</em>

Turning 30º to the right would have you making an angle of 60º North of East, so that walking 125 m gives the third displacement,

<em>d</em>₃ = (125 m) (cos(60º) <em>i</em> + sin(60º) <em>j</em> )

<em>d</em>₃ ≈ (62.5 m) <em>i</em> + (108.25 m) <em>j</em>

The net displacement is

<em>d</em> = <em>d</em>₁ + <em>d</em>₂ + <em>d</em>₃

<em>d</em> ≈ (287.5 m) <em>i</em> + (458.25 m) <em>j</em>

and its magnitude is

|| <em>d</em> || = √[ (287.5 m)² + (458.25 m)² ] ≈ 540.973 m ≈ 541 m
