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

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.

The closeness of measured values to an accepted value is the BLANK of the data ?
wlad13 [49]
When you refer to how close a measured value is to a standard, accepted or known value, you are talking about the ACCURACY of the data. This is the definition of accuracy when it comes to engineering and other fields of science. 

Accuracy is usually associated or with the term precision, as their definitions are often interchanged.

A student throws a baseball horizontally at 25 meters per second from a cliff 45 meters above the level ground. Approximately ho
Delicious77 [7]
First, calculate how long the ball is in midair. This will depend only on the vertical displacement; once the ball hits the ground, projectile motion is over. Since the ball is thrown horizontally, it originally has no vertical speed. 
t = time vi = initial vertical speed = 0m/s g = gravity = -9.8m/s^2 y = vertical displacement = -45m 
y = .5gt^2 [Basically, in this equation we see how long it takes the ball to fall 45m] -45m = .5 (-9.8m/s^2) * t^2 t = 3.03 s 
Now we know that the ball is midair for 3.03s. Since horizontal speed is constant we can simply use: 
x = horizontal displacement v = horizontal speed = 25m/s t = time = 3.03s 
x = v*t x = 25m/s * 3.03s = 75.76 m Thus, the ball goes about 75 or 76 m from the base of the cliff.

(a) A light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.35 m/s2 . How long does it take to reach its top speed of 80.0 km/h,
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

(a) Time t = 16.46 sec

(b) Time t =13.466 sec

(c) Deceleration = 2.677m/sec^2

Explanation:

(a) As the train starts from rest its initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

Acceleration a=1.35m/sec^2

Final speed v = 80 km/hr

80km/hr=\frac{80\times 1000}{3600sec}=22.22m/sec

From first equation of motion v =u+at

So t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{22.22-0}{1.35}=16.46 sec

(b) Now initial speed u = 22.22 m/sec

As finally train comes to rest so final speed v=0 m/sec

Deceleration a=1.65m/sec^2

So t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-22.22}{-1.65}=13.466 sec

(c) We have given that initial velocity = 80 km/hr = 22.22 m/sec

Final velocity v = 0 m/sec

Time t = 8.30 sec

So acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{0-22.22}{8.3}=-2.6771m/sec^2

As acceleration is negative so it is a deceleration
