The speed of light Never goes to 0. A is wrong.

The speed of light in refraction does not remain constant. B is incorrect

Light does not repel. That term is reserved for something like magnetism. C is not using the correct vocabulary.

D is the right answer.

Celina has a water sample that’s contaminated with salt and microorganisms. Which method should she use to purify the water?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Celina should perform the following method to get pure water:

Boil the water in a pan, as the water boils it changes into gas (water vapours) these vapours should be cooled down through the process of condensation which changes gas into liquid form, Through this process germs would be killed due to high temperature and the salt will remain in the pan as salt has higher boiling point than water,

A small rubber ball is launched by a compressed-air cannon from ground level with an initial speed of 11.8 m/s directly upward.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

7.09683 m

1.20285 s

2.4057 s

11.8 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² (negative up, positive down)

From equation of motion we have

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-11.8^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=7.09683\ m$

The maximum height above the ground that the ball reaches is 7.09683 m

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-11.8}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=1.20285\ s$

Time taken to go up is 1.20285 s it will take the same time to come down so total time taken to reach the ground after it is shot is 1.20285+1.20285 = 2.4057 s

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 1.20285\\\Rightarrow v=11.8\ m/s$

The velocity just before it hits the ground is 11.8 m/s

Suzie Spacewalker hovers in space beside a rotating space station in outer space. Both she and the center of mass of the space s

Inga [223]

Answer:

is in the earths orbit

Explanation:

for Suzie to hover in space beside the rotating space station, she and the center of mass of the space station are at relative rest which happens when space station is in Earth orbit, hence she is in the earths orbit.

An airplane accelerates from a speed of 88m/s to a speed of 132 m/s during a 15 second time interval. How far did the airplane t

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

$1650\:\mathrm{m}$

Explanation:

We can use the following kinematics equations to solve this problem:

$v_f=v_i+at,\\{v_f}^2={v_i}^2+2a\Delta x$ .

Using the first one to solve for acceleration:

$132=88+a(15),\\15a=44,\\a=\frac{44}{15}=2.9\bar{3}\:\mathrm{m/s^2}$ .

Now we can use the second equation to solve for the distance travelled by the airplane:

$132^2=88^2+2\cdot2.9\bar{3}\cdot \Delta x,\\\Delta x= \frac{9680}{2\cdot2.9\bar{3}},\\\Delta x =\fbox{$ 1650\:\mathrm{m}$}$ (three significant figures).
