In your cellar there are three light switches in the OFF position. Each switch controls 1 of 3 light bulbs on the floor above. Y

ou may move any of the switches, but you may only go upstairs to inspect the bulbs one time. How can you determine the switch for each bulb with one inspection?

Answer:

Number the switches 1, 2 and 3.

Switch on number 1 for 1 minute, then switch it off. Switch on number 2. Go upstairs...

The light that is on is connected to switch 2. The light that is off and warm is connected to switch 1. The light that is off and cold is connected to switch 3!!

Answer:

Explanation:

We have three switches 1, 2 and 3.

Firstly, switch on the first switch for like 2mins, then switch of the first switch and switch on the second switch, then rush immediately up stars, if the bulb is on,

Then it is between switch 1 and 2, so feel the bulb immediately, if the bulb is hot, it show that it was switch 1 due to the heat the but has emitted over the long period of time, but if it is still cold and just about to be getting warm, then it is the second switch.

Second case, if the bulb was off when you get upstairs, this shows that it, it is between switch 1 and 3.

Now, feel the bulb, it is hot then, it is switch 1 due to the heat . but if it is cold then it is switch 3 because none of the switch was able to power on the bulb

-BARSIC- [3]

Sunday, July 20, marked 45 years since the United States put the first two astronauts safely on the moon. The cost for the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs was more than $25 billion at the time more like $110 billion in today’s world. The ensuing U.S. space efforts have cost an additional $196 billion for the shuttle and $50 billion for the space station. NASA’s total inflation-adjusted costs have been more than $900 billion since its creation in 1958 through 2014 (more than $16 billion per year). Looking back, have we gotten our money’s worth from the investment?

What are the differences and relationships between speed, velocity, and acceleration
melamori03 [73]

Velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to time, whereas acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Both are vector quantities (and so also have a specified direction), but the units of velocity are meters per second while the units of acceleration are meters per second squared.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

 r^2 = \frac{ 2 k  \ Ze^2}{ 2m}

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the principle of conservation of energy

starting point. The proton very far from the nucleus

          Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

final point. The point where the proton is stopped (v = 0)

          Em_f = U = q V

where the potential is

          V = k Ze / r²

Let us consider that all the charge of the nucleus is in the center, therefore r is the distance from this point to the proton that is approaching

Energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

           ½ m v² = e (k \frac{Ze}{r^2})

          r^2 = \frac{ 2 k  \ Ze^2}{ 2m}

with this expression we can find the closest approach distance (r)
