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.

The current in a coil with a self-inductance of 1 mH is 2.8 A at t = 0, when the coil is shorted through a resistor. The total r
pogonyaev

Given:

L = 1 mH = 1\times 10^{-3} H

total Resistance, R = 11 \Omega

current at t = 0 s,

I_{o} = 2.8 A

Formula used:

I = I_{o}\times e^-{\frac{R}{L}t}

Solution:

Using the given formula:

current after t = 0.5 ms = 0.5\times 10^{-3} s

for the inductive circuit:

I = 2.8\times e^-{\frac{11}{1\times 10^{-3}}\times 0.5\times 10^{-3}}

I =   2.8\times e^-5.5

I =0.011 A

yarga [219]

Answer:

a. metallic bond

b. the valence electrons from the s and p orbitals of the interacting metal atoms delocalize. That is to say, instead of orbiting their respective metal atoms, they form a “cloud” of electrons that surrounds the positively charged atomic nuclei of the interacting metal ions.

c. due to the presence of free electrons in its outer energy levels

A person walking covers 5 m ikn 10 s how fast is the person moving
aniked [119]

Not what I'd call 'fast' at all.

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

Speed = (5 meters) / (10 seconds)

<em>Speed = 0.5 meter per second</em> .

That's like about 1.1 mile per hour .

Normal walking speed is considered to be around 1.4 m/s ... about 3.1 mph, or 14 meters in 10 seconds.

I've got a grandson who hasn't even turned 1 yet.  He crawls and  doesn't walk, but if you only cover 5m in 10s, he'd leave you in the dust pretty quick.
