Light travels best through empty space because there is nothing to block/disrupt its path.

There are no choices included with your question, so the space where the list should appear is a vacuum. Vacuum is the environment through which light travels best.

But hey ... When discussing light, what does "best" mean anyway ?

Fastest ? Least absorption ?
Least dispersion ? Least refraction ?
Most direct without bending ?
Least scattering ?

It's OK. Vacuum is the answer for any of those.

a 42.3 kg girl and a 7.93 kg sled are on the surface of a frozen lake, 15.0m apart and linked by a rope, but not moving yet. the

ycow [4]

Answer:

they meet from the girl's original position at: 2.37 (meters)

Explanation:

We need to use the Newton's law, exactly the second law that relate force, mass and acceleration as: $F=m*a$ with this we can get both accelerations; solving for acceleration $a=\frac{F}{m}$ . Now $a_{girl}=\frac{5.76}{42.3}=0.14 (m/s^{2})$ and $a_{sled}=\frac{5.76}{7.93}=0.73(m/s^{2})$ . Then knowing that they both travel at the same time and assuming that the distance among the girl and the sled is: 15.0-x, so, $x=\frac{1}{2}*a_{girl}*t^{2}$ and $15.0-x=\frac{1}{2}*a_{sled}*t^{2}$ , solving for the time we get: $t=\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a_{girl} } }$ and $t=\sqrt{\frac{2*(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} } }$ with this equations we solving for the x that is the distance between the girl and the sled after the apply the force and we get: $\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a_{girl}}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} }$ . Finally we get: $\frac{x}{a_{girl} }=\frac{(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} }$ and replacing the values we have got: $\frac{x}{0.14} =\frac{(15.0-x)}{0.73}$ so $5.33*x=15-x$ so x=2.37 (meters).

Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant

Elena L [17]

Answer:

19 m/s

Explanation:

The complete question requires the final speed to be calculated.

Velocity is the rate and direction at which an object moves. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time and can be calculated by the difference in velocity over a given time.

For this question, first the unknown acceleration must be calculated and used to determine the final velocity

Step 1: Calculate the acceleration

$a=\frac{v_{2}-v{1}}{t_{1}}$

$a=\frac{11-7}{8}$

$a=\frac{4}{8}$

$a=0.5 m/s^{2}$

Step 2: Calculate the velocity using the acceleration calculated above

$a=\frac{v_{3}-v{2}}{t_{2}}$

$0.5=\frac{v_{3}-11}{16}$

$v_{3}=19 m/s$

A circular loop of flexible iron wire has an initial circumference of 165cm , but its circumference is decreasing at a constant

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

emf induced is 0.005445 V and direction is clockwise because we can see area is decrease and so that flux also decrease so using right hand rule direction of current here clockwise

Explanation:

Given data

initial circumference = 165 cm

rate = 12.0 cm/s

magnitude = 0.500 T

tome = 9 sec

to find out

emf induced and direction

solution

we know emf in loop is - d∅/dt ........1

here ∅ = ( BAcosθ)

so we say angle is zero degree and magnetic filed is uniform here so that

emf = - d ( BAcos0) /dt

emf = - B dA /dt ..............2

so area will be

dA/dt = d(πr²) / dt

dA/dt = 2πr dr/dt

we know 2πr = c,

r = c/2π = 165 / 2π

r = 26.27 cm

c is circumference so from equation 2

emf = - B 2πr dr/dt ................3

and

here we find rate of change of radius that is

dr/dt = 12/2π = 1.91 $10^{-2}$ cm/s

so when 9.0s have passed that radius of coil = 26.27 - 191 (9)

radius = 9.08 $10^{-2}$ cm

so now from equation 3 we find emf

emf = - (0.500 ) 2π(9.08 $10^{-2}$ ) 1.91 $10^{-2}$

emf = - 0.005445

and magnitude of emf = 0.005445 V

emf induced is 0.005445 V and direction is clockwise because we can see area is decrease and so that flux also decrease so using right hand rule direction of current here clockwise
