What is the speed of light

Physics
1 answer:
Inessa05 [86]4 years ago
5 0

In vacuum and empty space, it's 299,792,458 meters per second
(186,282.4 miles per second).

In any material stuff, it's somewhat less.  How much less depends on
what stuff it is ... it's different in each material "medium".

What is the electric force (with direction) on an electron in a uniform electric field of strength 3400 N/C that points due east
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

  • So, the force its \ 5.4468 \ 10 ^{-16} N to the west.

Explanation:

The force \vec{F} on a charge q made by an electric field \vec{E} its

\vec{F} = q \vec{E}

The electric charge of the electron its

q \ = \ - \ 1.602 \ 10 ^{-19} \ C.

Taking the unit vector \hat{i} pointing towards the east, the electric field will be:

\vec{E}= 3400 \ \frac{N}{C} \ \hat{i}.

So, the force will be:

\vec{F} =  \ - \ 1.602 \ 10 ^{-19} \ C \ * \ 3400 \ \frac{N}{C} \ \hat{i}

\vec{F} =  \ - \ 5446.8 \ 10 ^{-19} \ N \ \hat{i}

\vec{F} =  \ - \ 5.4468 \ 10 ^{-16} \ N \ \hat{i}

\vec{F} =  \ - \ 5.4468 \ 10 ^{-16} \ N \ \hat{i}

\vec{F} =  \ - \ 5.4468 \ 10 ^{-16} \ N \ \hat{i}

So, the force its \ 5.4468 \ 10 ^{-16} N to the west.

during a 3.00 s time interval,the runners position changes from x1=50.0m to x2=30.5m what was the runners average velocity
UNO [17]
Average velocity is given by the ratio of total displacement /total time taken in order to do that
thus it will be
30.5-50.0/3 = 6.5 m/s

Using the following equation, find in seconds 145m = 9 m/s x t-35m
Zina [86]

Answer:

t = 20 s

Explanation:

145 m = 9 m/s × t – 35m

We can obtain the value of t in seconds by doing the following:

145 m = 9 m/s × t – 35m

Add 35 m to both side as shown below:

145 m + 35 m = 9 m/s × t – 35m + 35 m

180 m = 9 m/s × t

Divide both side by 9 m/s

t = 180 m / 9 m/s

t = 20 s

Therefore, the value of t is 20 seconds.

After watching a show about submarines, Jamil wants to learn more about the oceans. Which question could be answered through sci
Georgia [21]
The best question that could prompt a scientific investigation is: <u>What substances dissolve in ocean water?</u> 

This way the person experimenting can use several variables and make observations. Upon making observations, the person can be able to gather as much data as he can in order to answer the original question that he asked.
