<span>Answer: No, because Einstein demonstrated that nothing can exceed the speed of light in a vacuum and for something to happen instantly over that distance would require that speed to be exceeded. If somehow the sun were to vanish, without explosive effects, an enormous gravity wave would begin travelling outward affecting the planets at the speed of light - thus taking about 8 minutes to reach earth. But that is irrelevant because the only way to remove all that matter would be total conversion of the mass to energy and that energy would totally destroy everything - after the same 8 minutes.

An object is moving at 2.50 m/s [E]. At a time 3.00 seconds later the object is traveling at 1.50 m/s
babunello [35]

Given parameters:

First velocity  = 2.50m/s

Time of travel = 3s

Second velocity  = 1.50m/s

Unknown:

The displacement during the first interval = ?

Velocity is the displacement of a body with time. Displacement is a distance move in a specific direction by a body.

    Velocity  = \frac{Displacement}{Time taken}

So;

      Displacement  = Velocity x Time taken

Now input the parameter for the first velocity and time of travel;

      Displacement  = 2.5 x 3  = 7.5m

The displacement id 7.5m

Which of the following will help you stay motivated to achieve your goals?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

C. Post your goals in an obvious place

Explanation:

Being able to look at your goals and check in on the progress of those goals in a place you know where they are so there's no worrying if you might have forgotten one or two and or havent done them is a good way to stay active and keep motivated with your goals. Making notes or specifications on those goals and trying to think over goals is also something you should do. Ignoring or forgetting your goals because you didnt write them down or put them in a secure place can ruin motivation and make you tired cause keeping track of those goals become a chore.
