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.

loris [4]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of options. However, one material that is good candidate for conducting electricity without reacting with other materials is metallic vanadium dioxide. This is because of the inability of this electrical conductor to conduct heat (an unusual property for all other electrical conductors) and thus makes it difficult for it to react with other materials (since an increase in temperature increases possibility of a reaction).

Steam enters a one-inlet, two-exit control volume at location (1) at 360°C, 100 bar, with a mass flow rate of 2 kg/s. The inlet
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The inlet velocity is 21.9 m/s.

The mass flow rate at reach exit is 1.7 kg/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass flow rate = 2 kg/s

Diameter of inlet pipe = 5.2 cm

Fifteen percent of the flow leaves through location (2)  and the remainder leaves at (3)

The mass flow rate is

m_{2}=0.15\times2

We need to calculate the mass flow rate at reach exit

Using formula of mass

m_{3}=m_{1}-m_{2}

m_{3}=2-0.15\times2

m_{3}=1.7\ kg/s

We need to calculate the inlet velocity

Using formula of velocity

v=\dfrac{m}{\rho A}

Put the value into the formula

v=\dfrac{2}{42.868\times\dfrac{\pi}{4}\times(5.2\times10^{-2})^2}

v=21.9\ m/s

Hence, The inlet velocity is 21.9 m/s.

The mass flow rate at reach exit is 1.7 kg/s.

Why are bathroom tiles usually rough
Aleks04 [339]
-- Bathroom tiles are usually cool, so water condenses on them
when you take a hot bath or shower in the room. 

-- The natural result is that a smooth tile would become slippery,
exactly when you're walking around with wet feet and nothing on them ...
a dangerous situation.

-- In order to circumvent this safety hazard, the tiles in the bathroom
should be rough, especially on the floor.

A coyote can locate a sound source with good accuracy by comparing the arrival times of a sound wave at its two ears. Suppose a
il63 [147K]

Answer:

0.0000109261200583 s

0.0109261200583

Explanation:

d_2 = Distance from right ear = 3 m

s = Distance between ears = 15 cm

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

Distance between the left ear and the bird

d_1=\sqrt{s^2+d_2^2}\\\Rightarrow d_1=\sqrt{0.15^2+3^2}\\\Rightarrow d_1=3.00374765918\ m=3.004\ m

Time

t=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}

Time difference would be

\Delta T=\dfrac{d_1}{v}-\dfrac{d_2}{v}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\dfrac{3.00374765918}{343}-\dfrac{3}{343}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=0.0000109261200583\ s

The time difference is 0.0000109261200583 s

Time period is given by

T=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{1}{1000}\\\Rightarrow T=10^{-3}\ s

The ratio is

\dfrac{\Delta T}{T}=\dfrac{0.0000109261200583}{10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\Delta T}{T}=0.0109261200583

The ratio is 0.0109261200583
