Answer:

The correct answer is;

b. the light will reach the front of the rocket at the same instant that it reaches the back of the rocket.

Explanation:

The speed of light is an invariant. The speed of light is independent of the source or the observer, that is the speed of light does not depend on the speed of the source, or the speed of the observer, or the speed of the medium. The speed of light is constant, and as such the light will arrive at the back and front of the rocket at the same time.

Answer:

B. the light will reach the front of the rocket at the same instant that it reaches the back of the rocket.

Explanation:

To an observer at rest in the rocket who can't see either sides of the rocket, the speed of the light is constant which means the distance to the front or the back is same and would appear to reach the rocket at the same time.

Although from the point of view of the person on the earth, the front of the rocket is travelling in opposite direction of the light while the back of the rocket is moving closer to the light. This means that the distance travelled by the light going forward will be longer going backwards. And since the speed of light is constant in both directions, the light will reach the back of the rocket before it reaches the front  for the observer on the earth.

The sunlight that reaches Earth is generated by a transformation of _____.
Georgia [21]

nuclear energy

Explanation:

The sunlight that reaches earth is generated by a transformation of nuclear energy. Radiant energy is a from of energy that reaches the earth from nuclear reactions in the core of the sun.

  • In this process, light nuclei combines to form larger ones through the process of nuclear fusion.
  • This process does not conserve energy and mass is converted to energy.
  • The nuclear reaction produces huge energy that goes into the solar system space and lights it up.
  • Therefore, it is a transformation of nuclear energy into radiant energy.
  • The radiant energy is made up of electromagnetic radiations.

A small ferryboat is 4.70 m wide and 6.10 m long. When a loaded truck pulls onto it, the boat sinks an additional 5.00 cm into t
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

   M = 1433.5 kg

Explanation:

This exercise is solved using the Archimedean principle, which states that the hydrostatic thrust is equal to the weight of the desalinated liquid,

              B = ρ g V

with the weight of the truck it is in equilibrium with the push, we use Newton's equilibrium condition

           Σ F = 0

           B-W = 0

           B = W

       body weight

           W = M g

the volume is

           V = l to h

           rho_liquid g (l to h) = M g

           M = rho_liquid l a h

           

we calculate

            M = 1000 4.7 6.10 0.05

           M = 1433.5 kg

A ball is tossed in the air and released. It moves up, reverses direction, falls back down again, and is caught at the same heig
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The potential energy has a  maximum when the ball is a time that is half of the time for total travel

Explanation:

Generally potential energy is a the varies directly with the height according to this formula

            PE =mgh

and the ball attains a maximum height when the time is equal to half of the total time taken to travel

A ball falling through the air has what?
AysviL [449]
A ball falling through the air has a mass, a density, a volume...it is facing air resistance and is being acted on by gravity...it is accelerating and gaining velocity...and it is increasing in kinetic energy.
I suppose out of all those the biggest thing the ball has in this case is ENERGY. There are two main types to focus on...

Kinetic Energy - The further the ball fall the more KE it has...until terminal velocity is reach, then KE would become constant. 
Potential Energy - Conversely to that of KE, the further the ball falls the less PE it will have. 

<em>Heat/Thermal Energy is technically also present due to the friction from the air resistance, but the transfer of energy between the air and ball is quite complex and not necessary important for basic physics.  
</em>
The question itself seem kind of vague and open ended, but I could just be viewing it the wrong way.

What is the frequency of a wave whose wavelength is 0.7m and whose velocity is 120m/s?
ANEK [815]

Answer:

f=171.43Hz

Explanation:

Wave frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time.

The frequency formula is: f=v÷λ, where <em>v</em> is the velocity and <em>λ</em> is the wavelength.

Then replacing with the data of the problem,

f=\frac{120\frac{m}{s} }{0.7m}

f=171.43\frac{1}{s}

f=171.43 Hz (because \frac{1}{s} = Hz, 1 hertz equals 1 wave passing a fixed point in 1 second).
