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?

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.

A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. What is the canoe’s kinetic energy? A. 40 J B. 80 J C. 18 J
rusak2 [61]

A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. 40 J is the canoe’s kinetic energy.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given canoe has the mass and is being given to move at a speed. Therefore the kinetic energy of the canoe can be calculated using the following method,

Given that mass of the canoe = 20 kg and its speed =1 m/s

As we know that the Kinetic energy has the formula,

\text {Kinetic energy}=\frac{1}{2} \boldsymbol{m} \boldsymbol{v}^{2}

Therefore, substituting the value into the equation, we get,  

K . E .=\frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 2^{2} = 40 J
