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 269-turn solenoid is 102 cm long and has a radius of 2.3 cm. It carries a current of 3.9 A. What is the magnetic field inside
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid near its centre is 1.293 x 10⁻³ T

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns of solenoid, N = 269 turn

length of the solenoid, L = 102 cm = 1.02 m

radius of the solenoid, r = 2.3 cm = 0.023 m

current in the solenoid, I = 3.9 A

Magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid near its centre is calculated as;

B = \frac{\mu_o NI}{l} \\\\

Where;

μ₀ is permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ m/A

B = \frac{4\pi*10^{-7} *269*3.9}{1.02} \\\\B = 1.293 *10^{-3} \ T

Therefore, magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid near its centre is 1.293 x 10⁻³ T

A steel cable with Cross Sectional Area 3.00cm² has an elastic limit of 2.40 x 10^8pascals. Find the maximum upward acceleration
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Stress = F / A       force per unit area

A = 3.00 cm^2 = 3 E-4  m^2

F = 2.4E8 N/m^2 * 3E-4 m^2 = 7.2E4 N    max force applied

F/3 = 2.4E4 N  if force not to exceed limit   (= f)

f = M a

a = 2.4 E4 N / 1.2 E3 kg = 20 m / s^2      about 2 g

The distance traveled, in feet, of a ball dropped from a tall building is modeled by the equation d(t) = 16t2 where d equals the
Ainat [17]
When  t=2, the ball has fallen     d(2) = 16 (2²) = 64 feet .

When  t=5, the ball has fallen     d(5) = 16 (5²) = 400 feet .

Distance fallen from  t=2  until  t=5  is  (400 - 64) = 336 feet.

Time period between  t=2  until  t=5  is  (5 - 2) = 3 seconds.

Average speed of the ball from  t=2  until  t=5  is

                 (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

             =            336 feet        /        3 seconds       =  112 feet per second.

That's what choice-C says.

A vertical spring with spring stiffness constant 305 N/m oscillates with an amplitude of 28.0 cm when 0.235 kg hangs from it. Th
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The function that describe the motion in the time

y (t) = 0.28m * sin ( 36.025 * t)

Explanation:

The angular frequency of oscillation of the spring

w = √k/m

w = √305 N/m / 0.235 kg

w = 36.025 rad / s

To determine the function of the motion knowing as a motion oscillation in a amplitude a frequency

y(t) = A * sin (w t )

So

A = 28.0 cm * 1 m / 100 cm = 0.28 m

So replacing to determine the function of the motion in the time

y (t) = A sin (w t)

y (t) = 0.28m * sin ( 36.025 * t)
