The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 0.3 gm/s. What is the speed of light in meters per second?

Physics

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}

Where,

d = Path difference

\lambda= wavelength

n = Any integer which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum

In this question the distance between the two source will be minimum for the case of minimum path difference, then n= 1

d = \frac{\lambda}{2}

d = \frac{5*10^{-3}}{2}

d = 2.5mm

Therefore the minimum distance that should you separate two sources emitting the same waves is 2.5mm
