I'm guessing they rounded because it is technically 2.998 X 108 miles/hour

so I would go with true!

That is false.

The speed of light in a vacuum is 3 x 10^8 m/sec.

hope this helps and have a great day :)

Here it is an application of Newton's III law

as we know by Newton's III law that every action has equal and opposite reaction

So here as we know that two boys jumps off the boat with different forces

from front side of the boat the boy jumps off with force 45 N which means as per Newton's III law if boy has a force of 45 N in forward direction then he must apply a reaction force on the boat in reverse direction of same magnitude

So boat must have an opposite force on front end with magnitude 45 N

Now similar way we can say

from back side of the boat the boy jumps off with force 60 N which means as per Newton's III law if boy has a force of 60 N in backward direction then he must apply a reaction force on the boat in reverse direction of same magnitude

So boat must have an opposite force on front end with magnitude 60 N

So here net force due to both jump on the boat is given by

F_{net} = F_1 - F_2

F_{net} = 60 - 45

F_{net} = 15 N

so boat will have net force F = 15 N in forward direction due to both jumps

which of the glass lenses above, when placed in air, will cause rays of light (parallel to the central axis) to converge?
777dan777 [17]

Convex lenses when placed in the air, will cause rays of light (parallel to the central axis) to converge.

Converging lenses, commonly referred to as convex lenses, have thicker centers and narrower upper and lower margins. The edges are outwardly curled. This lens has the ability to concentrate a beam of parallel light rays coming from the outside onto a spot on the opposite side of the lens.

The image created is referred to be a genuine image when it is inverted relative to the object. On a screen, this kind of image can be recorded. When the object is positioned at a point farther than one focal length from the lens, a converging lens creates a true image.

A virtual image is one that cannot be produced on a screen and is formed when the image is upright in relation to the object. When an item is positioned within one focal length of a converging lens, a virtual image is created. It creates an enlarged image of the object on the same side of the lens as the image. It serves as a magnifier.

a ball is shot from the ground straight up into the air with initial velocity of 50 50 ft/sec. assuming that the air resistance
Anna [14]

The height attained by the ball is 11.86m

a ball is shot from the ground straight up into the air its initial and final velocity is

initial velocity, u = 50 ft/s = 50×0.305  = 15.25m/s

final velocity ,v = 0 m/s

gravity =-9.8 m/s²

( negative sign shows acceleration in opposite direction)

height =?

using the newton motion of equation

v² = u² + 2as

where

a= acceleration due to gravity(g)

s = height

v² = u² + 2gs

(0)² = (15.25)² + 2×(-9.8)×s

0  = (15.25)² -  19.6 × s

s= - (15.25)²/ 19.6

s = 11.86m

after ignoring the air resistance the maximum height of the ball is 11.86m
