One observer stands on a train moving at a constant speed, and one observer stands at rest on the ground. The person on the trai

n stands at the back of the car and turns on a flashlight; the light travels to the front of the car, bounces off a mirror, and returns to the back of the car. The observer on the train measures the time it takes for the light to take this path and knowing the length of the car, he calculates the speed of light. What value does he obtain?a) Greater than cb) Equal to cc) Less than cd) The speed of the light canot be determined without knowing the speed of the train

7 0

Answer:

Equal to c ( b )

Explanation:

The speed of the light will be Equal to C because the speed of light regardless of the speed of the Train, length of the car and the medium in which the light travels the speed of light remains the same ,

The speed of light ( c ) is equal to : 299792458 m / s and no object can travel faster than light therefore the speed of light from the flashlight will remain the same over the whole time it travels through the medium or distance that it is found.

How are electromagnetic waves different from sound or water waves?
Annette [7]

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are different from sound or water waves in such a way that water and sound waves are called mechanical waves that requires a material medium for their propagation.

Electromagnetic waves do no require a material medium for propagation.

  • Electromagnetic waves are carried or transported by radiation and this can be passed through vacuums and different other materials.
  • But mechanical waves such as water and sound waves requires a material medium for their propagation.
  • They cannot pass through a vacuum.

In comparing sunspots to other areas of the sun's surface one can say that sunspots are...?
taurus [48]

Answer:

D. Cooler

Explanation:

The Sun's surface has a temperature ranging from 6 000 Kelvin, thus it is very hot. The radioactive reaction in the core of the Sun is a nuclear fusion reaction. This reaction ensures continuous release of high energy from the surface of the Sun.

But during the reaction, some parts becomes cooler than other parts on its surface. Which is due to the release of high amount of energy into space. The Sun's spot can be found in the cooler part of the Sun.

A body is thrown vertically upwards.Its velocity keeps on decreasing. What happens to its kinetic energy when it reaches the max
Nikolay [14]
The kinetic energy will rise once the body comes back down. As it goes up, the potential energy increases while the kinetic energy decreases. Once the body is at its maximum height, the potential energy is at it’s highest. When it starts falling, it will gain kinetic energy and lose potential energy.

What types of energy are produced during firework displays?
-Dominant- [34]

Answer: The chemical energy is converted to heat, light ,sound and kinematic movements.

Explanation:

An exploding firework is essentially a number of chemical reactions happening simultaneously or in rapid sequence. When you add some heat, you provide enough activation energy (the energy that kick-starts a chemical reaction) to make solid chemical compounds packed inside the firework combust (burn) with oxygen in the air and convert themselves into other chemicals, releasing smoke and exhaust gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen in the process. For example, this is an example of one of the chemical reactions that might happen when the main gunpowder charge burn.

some of the chemical energylocked inside them is converted into four other kinds of energy (heat, light, sound, and the kinetic energy of movement). According to a basic law of physics called the conservation of energy.

The filament of a 240 V, 100 W electric lamp heats up from room temperature to its operating temperature. As it heats up, its re
Xelga [282]
We need to use the formula P = IV, where P is the power, I is the current and V is the voltage. 
When we substitute our values in, we get:
100 = 240I, and so I = 0.42 Amps
Now, we have to work out the Resistance in the circuit at the operating temperature.

We do this using the formula V = IR
240 = (100/240) x R, and we get R = 576 Ohms

Since the resistance has gone up by a factor of 16, all we have to do now is to divide this answer by 16 to get the resistance at room temperature.

576/16 = 36 Ohms

Hope I helped!! xx
