The speed of light is determined by the medium (material) through which the light is travelling. Light travels faster in a vacuum than it does in any other medium. Light changes speed as it passes from one medium to another. This is called refraction.

A certain wire, 3 m long, stretches by 1.2 mm when under tension of 200 N. By how much does an equally thick wire 6 m long, made
shusha [124]

Answer:

2.4 mm

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial Original length of the wire L = 3 mm

The stretch  of the first wire  ΔL= 1. 2 mm

The length of the second wire L'' = 6 mm

The stretch of the second wire ΔL'' = ???

Considering the Tension of the system; the Young modulus and the cross sectional remains constant ; as such:

\frac{Y}{Y''} = \frac{FL}{A \Delta L} *\frac{A \Delta L''}{FL''}

1= \frac{L   \Delta L''}{L'' \Delta L}

\Delta L''= \frac{L'' \Delta L  }{L}

\Delta L''= \frac{6 \ m * 1.2 \ mm  }{3 \ m}

\Delta L''=2.4  \ mm

Thus, the same material under the same tension stretches 2.4 mm

A 1200-kg car initially at rest undergoes constant acceleration for 9.4 s, reaching a speed of 11 m/s. It then collides with a s
Natalka [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the principle of conservation of energy and the definition of kinematic energy as half the product between mass and squared velocity. So,

KE_i = KE_f

KE_f = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Here,

m = Mass

V = Velocity

Replacing,

KE_f = \frac{1}{2} (12000)(11)^2

KE_f = 72600J

Therefore the  final kinetic energy of the two car system is 72.6kJ
