An early method of measuring the speed of light makes use of a rotating slotted wheel. A beam of light passes through one of the

slots at the outside edge of the wheel, travels to a distant mirror, and returns to the wheel just in time to pass through the next slot in the wheel. One such slotted wheel has a radius of 6.0 cm and 400 slots at its edge. Measurements taken when the mirror was L = 500 m from the wheel indicated a speed of light of 3.0 ✕ 105 km/s. (a) What was the (constant) angular speed of the wheel?

Answer:

4.7 x 10³ rad / s

Explanation:

During the time light goes and comes back , one slot is replaced by next slot while rotating  before the light source

Time taken by light to travel a distance of 2 x 500 m is

= (2 x 500) / 3 x 10⁸

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ s .

In this time period, two consecutive slots come before the source of light one after another by rotation. There are 400 slots so time taken to make one rotation

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ x 400

= 13.33 x 10⁻⁴ s

This is the time period so

T = 13.33 X 10⁻⁴

Angular speed

= 2π / T

= \frac{2\times3.14}{13.33\times10^{-4}}

4.7 x 10³ rad / s

If the distance between two charges is doubled, by what factor is the magnitude of the electric force changed? F_e final/F_e, in
motikmotik

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Coulomb's law for which the Electrostatic Force is defined as,

F_{initial} = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

Here,

k = Coulomb's constant

q_{1,2} = Charge at each object

r = Distance between them

As the distance is doubled so,

F_{final} = \frac{kq_1q_2}{( 2r )^2}

F_{final} = \frac{ kq_1q_2}{ 4r^2}

F_{final} = \frac{1}{4} \frac{ kq_1q_2}{r^2}

F_{final} = \frac{1}{4} F_{initial}

\frac{F_{final}}{ F_{initial}} = \frac{1}{4}

Therefore the factor is 1/4

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

<h2>A. Nearsightedness</h2>

Explanation:

A nearsightedness is an eye defect that occurs when someone is only able to see close ranged object but not far distance object. According to the question, if the length of my eye decreases slightly as I age, this means there is a possibility that I will find it difficult to view a far distance object as I age.

At 70, once my eyes had decreased slightly in length, this means I will only be able to see close ranged object but not far distant object, showing that I am now suffering from nearsightedness according to its definition above.

Although planets orbit the Sun in ellipses, all the planetary orbits are fairly close to circular and not very eccentric.
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The Sun rotates in this same, right-hand-rule direction. All planetary orbits lie in nearly the same plane. All planetary orbits are nearly circular (eccentricity near zero).
