We have to convert Gm/s to m/s.

As $1 \ Gm/s = 10^9 \ m/s$

Therefore the speed of light in vacuum,

$c = 0.3 \ Gm/s = 0.3 \times 10^9 \ m/s \\\\ c= 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$

Thus, the speed of light in m/s is $3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$

The potential energy of a catapult was completely converted into kinetic energy by releasing a small stone with a mass of 20 gra

DerKrebs [107]

1,000 grams = 1 kilogram
20 grams = 0.02 kilogram

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) x (speed)²

(1/2) (0.02) x (15)² =

(0.01) x (225) = 2.25 joules

A test charge of -1.4 x 10-7 coulombs experiences a force of 5.4 x 10-1 newtons. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field c

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

3.86×10⁶ Newton/coulombs

Explaination:

Applying,

E = F/q....................... Equation 1

Where E = Electric Field, F = Force, q = charge.

From the question,

Given: F = 5.4×10⁻¹ N, q = -1.4×10⁻⁷ coulombs

Substitute these values into equation 1

E = 5.4×10⁻¹/ -1.4×10⁻⁷

E = -3.86×10⁶ Newtons/coulombs

Hence the magnitude of the electric field created by the

negative test charge is 3.86×10⁶ Newton/coulombs

What minimum distance should you separate two sources emitting the same waves with wavelength 5mm in phase such that you obtain

Makovka662 [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept related to destructive interference (from the principle of superposition). This concept is understood as a superposition of two or more waves of identical or similar frequency that, when interfering, create a new wave pattern of less intensity (amplitude) at a point called a node. Mathematically it can be described as

$d = n \frac{\lambda}{2}$
