For a wave, the speed is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave (such as a crest) in a given period of time. So while wave frequency refers to the number of cycles occurring per second, wave speed refers to the meters traveled per second

Name the four major forces in the universe that act over long distance as I greater than the nucleus of an atom?

GalinKa [24]

Forces in the universe that act over long distance, meaning the distance is greater than the diameter of the nucleus of the atom are:

1. Electrostatic force or Coulomb force: Fc=(k*Q₁*Q₂)/r²,

2. Gravitational force: Fg=(G*m₁*m₂)/r²,

3. Magnetic force: Fm=qvB,

4. London dispersion force, also known as one of the van der Waals forces.

Which of the following are scalar quantities?

kirill [66]

Speed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. ... Velocity is the rate at which the position changes. The average velocity is the displacement or position change (a vector quantity) per time ratio.

How many nanoseconds does it take light to travel 3.50 ft in vacuum?

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:3.56 nanosecond

In this case, you are asked the time and given the light distance(3.5ft)
To answer this question you would need to know the velocity of light. Speed of light is <span>299792458m/s. Then the calculation would be:

time= distance/speed
time= 3.5 ft / (</span>299792458m/s) x 0.3048 meter/ 1 ft= 3.56 $10^{-9}$ second or 3.56 nanosecond
