Answer:

10ns

Explanation:

Suppose the EM wave travels at light speed c = 3\times10^8 m/s. A change in travel distance of the order of 3 m would result of a change in travel time of

\Delta t = \frac{\Delta s}{c} = \frac{3}{3\times10^8} = 10^{-8} s = 10 ns

The moon clearly exhibits a light and dark portion during most of the month except during full moon. What causes the dark portio
mylen [45]
While rotating around Earth the Moon also rotates around it's axis. These two rotations have almost same duration (27.3 and 27 days respectively). This is the reason why we always see the same side of Moon.

The dark part of a Moon is the part where there is night on the Moon, meaning there is no sunlight visible. This dark part depends on the Moon's position relative to Earth and Sun. The change in size is due to part of Moon-day. Dark part of Moon has night, bright part has day and the boundary has either sunrise or sunset.

Why do opaque materials become warmer when light shines on them?
gavmur [86]

Opaque materials absorb all the light that shines on them.  None of it comes out the other side.  That's why they're opaque.

Opaque materials become warmer when light shines on them, because <em>they absorb the energy</em> carried by the light that shines on them.  (According to the law of Conservation of Energy, that energy has gotta go somewhere.)

A football player kicks a ball with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 53 degrees above the horizontal. The vertical c
Verdich [7]

Answer:

20 m/s

Explanation:

initial velocity, u= 25m/s

u has two components. one in horizontal and in one vertical.

so,

u sin theta = vertical component.

=> u sin theta = 25× 4/5

= 20 m/s
