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 stone is catapulted at time t = 0, with an initial velocity of magnitude 19.9 m/s and at an angle of 39.9° above the horizonta
larisa [96]

Answer:

Part a)

x = 15.76 m

Part b)

y = 7.94 m

Part c)

x = 26.16 m

Part d)

y = 7.49 m

Part e)

x = 83.23 m

Part f)

y = -75.6 m

Explanation:

As we know that catapult is projected with speed 19.9 m/s

so here we have

v_x = 19.9 cos39.9

v_x = 15.3 m/s

similarly we have

v_y = 19.9 sin39.9

v_y = 12.76 m/s

Part a)

Horizontal displacement in 1.03 s

x = v_x t

x = (15.3)(1.03)

x = 15.76 m

Part b)

Vertical direction we have

y = v_y t - \frac{1]{2}gt^2

y = (12.76)(1.03) - 4.9(1.03)^2

y = 7.94 m

Part c)

Horizontal displacement in 1.71 s

x = v_x t

x = (15.3)(1.71)

x = 26.16 m

Part d)

Vertical direction we have

y = v_y t - \frac{1]{2}gt^2

y = (12.76)(1.71) - 4.9(1.71)^2

y = 7.49 m

Part e)

Horizontal displacement in 5.44 s

x = v_x t

x = (15.3)(5.44)

x = 83.23 m

Part f)

Vertical direction we have

y = v_y t - \frac{1]{2}gt^2

y = (12.76)(5.44) - 4.9(5.44)^2

y = -75.6 m

Which description best matches the image below of a hand that is using the right-hand palm rule?
otez555 [7]

Answer:

When reviewing the results, the correct one is C

Explanation:

The right hand rule is widely useful in knowing the direction of force in a maganto field,

The ruler sets the thumb in the direction of the positive particle, the fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field, and the palm in the direction of the force.

Let's apply this to our exercise.

The thumb that is the speed goes in the negative direction of the axis,

The two extended that the magnetic field look negative x,

The span points entered the dear sheet the negative the Z axis

When reviewing the results, the correct one is C

The equation of a transverse wave traveling along a string is 1 1 y (2.00 mm)sin[(20 m )x (600 s )t] − − = − Find the (a) amplit
Lelu [443]

Answer:

a)Amplitude ,A = 2 mm

b)f=95.49 Hz

c)V=  30 m/s  ( + x direction )

d)  λ = 0.31 m

e)Umax= 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

y=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]

As we know that standard form of wave equation given as

y=A sin(\phi -\omega t)

A= Amplitude

ω=Frequency (rad /s)

t=Time

Φ = Phase difference

y=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]

So from above equation we can say that

Amplitude ,A = 2 mm

Frequency ,ω= 600 rad/s                     (2πf=ω)

ω= 2πf

f= ω /2π

f= 300/π = 95.49 Hz

K= 20 rad/m

So velocity,V

V= ω /K

V= 600 /20 = 30 m/s  ( + x direction )

V = f λ

30 = 95.49 x  λ

 λ = 0.31 m

We know that speed is the rate of displacement

U=\dfrac{dy}{dt}

U=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]

U=1200\ cos[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]\ mm/s

The maximum velocity

Umax = 1200 mm/s

Umax= 1.2 m/s

Determine how many times per second it would move back and forth across a 6.0-m-long room on the average, assuming it made very
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The right solution is "24.39 per sec".

Explanation:

According to the question,

⇒ v=\frac{502.1}{\sqrt{3} }

      =289.9 \ m/s

The time will be:

⇒ t=\frac{d}{v}

      =\frac{2\times 6}{289.9}

      =\frac{12}{289.9}

      =0.041 \ sec

hence,

⇒ N=\frac{1}{t}

        =\frac{1}{0.041}

        =24.39 \ per \ sec
