Answer:

c. Sound travels slower than light.

Explanation:

We see any thing because of the light emitted or reflected by it. Whereas the sound is carried by the sound waves. The speed of light is more than the speed of sound. This is the reason the family saw the fireworks first and then heard the sound.

The same can be experienced during the sighting of a Jet plane or a rocket where, we see them way before we can hear the roaring sound of its engines.

What must be true about a surface in order for diffuse reflection to occur?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

carpet

Explanation:

Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light from a surface such that an incident ray is reflected at many angles rather than at just one angle as in the case of specular reflection.

The structure of carpet's surface is as shown. Thus it shows large amount of diffuse reflection.

If an object accelerates from rest, with a constant of 8 m/s2, what will its velocity be after 35s?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

<em>Its speed will be 280 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the speed of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

If a is the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, vf can be calculated as:

v_f=v_o+at

The object accelerates from rest (vo=0) at a constant acceleration of a=8\ m/s^2. The final speed at t=35 seconds is:

v_f=0+8*35

v_f=280\ m/s

Its speed will be 280 m/s

Unpolarized light is incident upon two ideal polarizing filters that do not have their transmission axes aligned. If 19% of the
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

51.94°

Explanation:

I_0 = Unpolarized light

I_2 = Light after passing though second filter = 0.19I_0

Polarized light passing through first filter

I_1=\frac{I_0}{2}

Polarized light passing through second filter

I_2=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow 0.19I_0=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow cos^2\theta=\frac{0.19I_0}{\frac{I_0}{2}}\\\Rightarrow cos\theta=\sqrt{\frac{0.19I_0}{\frac{I_0}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{0.19I_0}{\frac{I_0}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\sqrt{0.19\times 2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\sqrt{0.38}\\\Rightarrow \theta=51.94^{\circ}

The angle between the two filters is 51.94°

A large asteroid of mass 98700 kg is at rest far away from any planets or stars. A much smaller asteroid, of mass 780 kg, is in
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

1.81 x 10^-4 m/s

Explanation:

M = 98700 kg

m = 780 kg

d = 201 m

Let the speed of second asteroid is v.

The gravitational force between the two asteroids is balanced by the centripetal force on the second asteroid.

\frac{GMm}{d^{2}}=\frac{mv^2}{d}

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{d}}

Where, G be the universal gravitational constant.

G = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

v=\sqrt{\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 98700}{201}}

v = 1.81 x 10^-4 m/s
