I see the light moving exactly at speed equal to c.

In fact, the second postulate of special relativity states that:
"The speed of light in free space has the same value c<span> in all inertial frames of reference."

The problem says that I am moving at speed 2/3 c, so my motion is a uniform motion (constant speed). This means I am in an inertial frame of reference, so the speed of light in this frame must be equal to c.

Gas A has molecules with small mass. Gas B has molecules with larger mass. They are at the same temperature.
Julli [10]

Answer:

c)The gases have the same average kinetic energy.

Explanation:

As we know that the kinetic energy of gas is given as

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

here we know that

v = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}

so we have

K = \frac{1}{2}m (\frac{3RT}{M})

now we have

K = \frac{3}{2}n RT

now mean kinetic energy per molecule is given as

K_{avg} = \frac{3}{2}KT

so this is independent of the mass of the gas

so average kinetic energy will remain same for both the gas molecules

A car travelling at 20 m/s due north along the highway makes a right turn on to a side road that heads due east. It takes 50 s f
Marrrta [24]

Answer:  initial velocity: 20 m/s

                time taken to complete the turn: 50s

               final velocity: 15 m/s

average acceleration= final velocity-initial velocity/time taken - 0s( 0 is taken here as there was no initial time)

           = 15-20/50-0

           = -5/50= -0.1 ms^2

A plane leaves the airport in Galisteo and flies 170 km at 68.0° east of north; then it changes direction to fly 230 km at 36.0°
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The direction will be 84.86^\circ and the distance 250.75km.

Explanation:

Let's say A is the displacement vector which represents the first 170km and B the one for the next 230km. Then the components of these vector will be:

A_x=170cos(68^{\circ})\\ A_y=170sin(68^\circ)\\\\B_x=230cos(-36^\circ)\\B_y=230sin(-36^\circ)

The vector which point from the origin to the final position of the plane will be R=A+B. We sum components on <em>x </em>and <em>y </em>independetly (vector property):

R_x=A_x+B_x=170cos(68^{\circ})+230cos(-36^\circ)=63.68km+186.07km=249.75km

R_y=A_y+B_y=170sin(68^\circ)+230sin(-36^\circ)=157.62km-135.19km=22.43km

If \theta is the direction of R then:

tan(\theta )=\frac{R_x}{R_y} ⇒ \theta = arctan(\frac{R_x}{R_y}) ⇒ \theta = 84.86^\circ.

The distance will be given by the magnitud of the vector R:

R=\sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2} ⇒ R=\sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2} = 250.75.
