When you turn on a lightbulb in a room, the entire room appears to flood with light at the same time. Your eyes cannot perceive

light originating at the bulb and then moving outward from it. This either means that light has infinite speed (appears everywhere instantaneously), or it moves so fast that it is difficult to tell the difference. How might you improve your chances of detecting the motion of light if it moves at finite speed?

Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Assuming we can turn on the lightbulb from any distance with a device. We can gradually increase the distance that separates us from lightbulb, in this way, if the speed of light is finite  we can see a temporary delay between the moment we turn on the lightbulb and the moment in which we observe its light.

In Newtons first law of motion how is an object at rest affected
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.

Explanation:

Meaning that if an object is just sitting somewhere unless something else causes it to move it's not going anywhere.

Answer:

Passed into the power grid for others to use the electricity

Explanation:

If a home uses a large supply of solar panels to generate electricity, but has no battery system, surplus electricity that is produced is usually passed into the power grid for others to use the electricity, generating a income to the homeowner

1. What food were you craving the most upon return home after eating space food? - I would ask because they don’t get the regular everyday food we have on earth, I know I’d be craving food and it’s very interesting to hear their answers.

2. How did you feel physically after returning to earth? And has it been hard readjusting? - After a long period of time in space, I feel like it’d be very hard to adjust back into the way we live and I’m intrigued to hear about how it felt and what they did in order to adjust.

3. What do you think while on the launchpad about to launch? - I feel like it’d be very scary for me but everyone has a different way of feeling. I’d love to hear about their thoughts during this process.

When a high‑energy photon passes near a heavy nucleus, a process known as pair production can occur. As a result, an electron an
shtirl [24]

Answer:

1.47*10^{-8}s

Explanation:

You first calculate the distance traveled by the electron:

x=vt\\\\x=(0.941(3*10^8m/s))(15.7*10^{-9}s)=4.43m

Next, you calculate the relative speed as measure by an observer in the positron, of the electron:

u'=\frac{u+v}{1+\frac{uv}{c^2}}\\\\u'=\frac{0.941c+0.941c}{1+\frac{(0.941)^2c^2}{c^2}}\\\\u'=0.99c

with this relative velocity you calculate the time:

t=\frac{x}{u'}\\\\t=\frac{4.43m}{0.99c}=1.47*10^{-8}s

What is the frequency of oscillation for a mass on the end of spring with a period of motion of 2.6 seconds? Calculate answer to
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Frequency, f = 0.38 Hz

Explanation:

Time period of the spring, T = 2.6 seconds

We need to find the frequency of oscillation for a mass on the end of spring. The relation between the time period and the frequency is given by :

Let f is the frequency of oscillation. So,

f=\dfrac{1}{T}

f=\dfrac{1}{2.6\ s}

f = 0.38 Hz

or

f = 0.4 Hz

So, the frequency of oscillation for a mass on the end of a spring is 0.38 hertz. Hence, this is the required solution.
