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.

Test:

Performing a Litmus Test

Result:

Litmus paper gives the user a general indication of acidity or alkalinity as it correlates to the shade of red or blue that the paper turns.

  • To test the pH of a substance, dip a strip of litmus paper into the solution or use a dropper or pipette to drip a small amount of solution onto the litmus paper.
  • Blue litmus paper can indicate an acid with a pH between 4 and 5 or lower.
  • Red litmus paper can show a base with a pH greater than 8.
  • If a solution has a pH between 5 and 8, it will show little color change on the litmus paper.
  • A base tested with blue litmus paper will not show any color change, nor will an acid tested with red litmus paper register a change in color.

What change will always result in an increase in gravitational force between two objects
tekilochka [14]

The gravitational force between two object depends on their masses and on their distance.


Since the formula is


F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{d^2}


If the masses grow, the force also grows. But I'm assuming the two objects are fixed, so you can't enlarge their mass.


So, the only option remaining is to lower their distance: since it sits at the denominator, a smaller value of d results in a bigger value for F.


So, if you reduce the distance between two objects, the gravitational force between them will always result in an increase
