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.

Answer:

007. 4. 124.091

008. 9. 0.232679738562091

009. 1. 66.8457608738846

010. 3. 14.2 N

Explanation:

007. Speed of a wave is the product of its wavelength and it frequency.

v = λ f

For a given velocity, the minimum frequency occurs at the maximum wavelength.

For a standing wave, the distance between the nodes (fixed points that don't oscillate) is a multiple of half the wavelength.

L = k/2 λ

The wavelength is a maximum at k=1 (also known as the first harmonic).

L = 1/2 λ

λ = 2L

Substituting and solving for f:

v = 2L f

f = v / (2L)

f = 546 m/s / (2 × 2.2 m)

f = 124.091 Hz

008. The sound travels from the dolphin to the ocean floor, then back to the dolphin.  So it travels a total distance of 2 × 178 m = 356 m.  At a speed of 1530 m/s, the time it takes for the sound to travel this distance is:

t = d / v

t = 356 m / 1530 m/s

t = 0.232679738562091 s

009. Sound intensity in decibels is:

I(db) = 10 log(I / I₀)

where I is the sound intensity (W/m²) and I₀ is the threshold of hearing.

We know that the sound intensity I is proportional to the number of cars per minute.  If we say n is the number of cars per minute, and k is the constant of proportionality, then:

I(db) = 10 log(kn / I₀)

When n = 132, I = 73.

73 = 10 log(132k / I₀)

7.3 = log(132k / I₀)

10^7.3 = 132k / I₀

k / I₀ = (10^7.3) / 132

k / I₀ = 151156.236

So the equation for intensity in decibels is:

I(db) = 10 log(151156.236 n)

When n = 32:

I(db) = 10 log(151156.236 × 32)

I(db) = 66.8457608738846

010. For a vibrating string, the tension is:

T = v² m/L

where v is the speed and m/L is the mass per length of the string.

When v = 18.6, T = 6.43.

6.43 = (18.6)² m/L

m/L = 0.01859

So the equation is:

T = 0.01859 v²

When v = 27.6:

T = 0.01859 (27.6)²

T = 14.2 N

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

recall that heat absorbed released is given by

Q = mc*(T2 - T1)

where

m = mass (in g)

c = specific heat capacity (in J/g-k)

T = temperature (in C or K)

*note: Q is (+) when heat is absorbed and (-) when heat is released.

substituting,

Q = (480)*(0.97)*(234 - 22)

Q = 98707 J = 98.7 kJ
