<span>The velocity of light is by far the greatest in air. There is nothing in air to stop or impede the movement of light in air. When light travels in air it will not stop unless running into clouds, smoke, smoke, droplets, or impurities. Any other substance is harder for light to travel through.</span>

In a 400-m relay race the anchorman (the person who runs the last 100 m) for team A can run 100 m in 9.8 s. His rival, the ancho
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

largest lead = 3 m

Explanation:

Basically, this problem is about what is the largest possible distance anchorman for team B can have over the anchorman for team A when the final leg started that anchorman for team A won the race. This show that anchorman for team A must have higher velocity than anchorman for team B to won the race as at the starting of final leg team B runner leads the team A runner.

So, first we need to calculate the velocities of both the anchorman  

given data:

Distance = d = 100 m

Time arrival for A = 9.8 s

Time arrival for B = 10.1 s

Velocity of anchorman A = D / Time arrival for A

=100/ 9.8 = 10.2 m/s

Velocity of anchorman B = D / Time arrival for B

=100/10.1 = 9.9 m/s

As speed of anchorman A is greater than anchorman B. So, anchorman A complete the race first than anchorman B. So, anchorman B covered lower distance than anchorman A. So to calculate the covered distance during time 9.8 s for B runner, we use

d = vt

= 9.9 x 9.8 = 97 m  

So, during the same time interval, anchorman A covered 100 m distance which is greater than anchorman B distance which is 97 m.

largest lead = 100 - 97 = 3 m

So if his lead no more than 3 m anchorman A win the race.

Which part of an atom makes up most of its volume ?
alexandr1967 [171]
Remember that like charges repel each other. That is, positive repels positive and negative repels negative. Similar to how the north poles of magnets repel each other and south poles repel. However, at the atomic scale, protons, which have positive charge, are more influenced by the "Strong Force," which binds them close together. If they were to be separated ever so slightly, then the electromagnetic force would take over and they would repel each other like you'd expect. 

Neutrons are also held together via the Strong Force, but don't have a charge so when separated, don't have an electromagnetic force pushing them away from each other.

However, electrons act differently. There is no "Strong Force" just the electromagnetic force. So, they keep a great distance from each other. 

So in an atom, protons and neutrons stay close to each other, taking up little volume, while electrons take up a lot of volume.

BTW, the reason why electrons and protons act differently when they are close together is because protons are made up of smaller particles the carry this Strong Force. For electrons, there is no smaller constituent. And therefore, all you have is the electromagnetic force to influence it. That's it.

Hope that helps.
