Answer:

895522 times faster.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Speed of sound in air (v) = 335 m/s

Speed of light in air (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s

How many times faster =.?

To obtain how many times faster light travels in air than sound, do the following

c : v => 3×10⁸ : 335

c/v = 3×10⁸ / 335

c/v = 895522

Cross multiply

c = 895522 × v

From the illustrations made above, we can see that the speed of the light in air (c) is 895522 times the speed of sound in air.

Thus, light travels 895522 times faster than sound in air.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

2.63 x 10^18

Explanation:

A = 1 cm^2 = 1 x 10^-4 m^2

λ = 10,000 nm = 10,000 x 10^-9 m = 10^-5 m

T = 37 degree C = 37 + 273 = 310 k

Energy of each photon = h c / λ

where, h is the Plank's constant and c be the velocity of light

Energy of each photon = (6.63 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / 10^-5 = 1.989 x 10^-20 J

Energy radiated per unit time = σ A T^4

Where, σ is Stefan's constant

Energy radiated per unit time = 5.67 x 10^-8 x 10^-4 x 310^4 = 0.05236 J

Number of photons per second = Energy radiated per unit time / Energy of  

                                                                                               each photon

Number of photons per second = 0.05236 / (1.989 x 10^-20) = 2.63 x 10^18

What happens to energy and matter when a wave moves through space?
vivado [14]

Answer:

energy can move from one location to another, the particles of matter in the medium return to their fixed position. A wave transports its energy without transporting matter.

A car accelerates uniformly in a straight line
julia-pushkina [17]

The car travels a distance <em>d</em> from rest with acceleration <em>a</em> after time <em>t</em> of

<em>d</em> = 1/2 <em>a</em> <em>t</em>²

It covers 69 m with 2.8 m/s² acceleration, so that

69 m = 1/2 (2.8 m/s²) <em>t</em>²

<em>t</em>² = 2 (69 m) / (2.8 m/s²)

<em>t</em> ≈ 7.02 s

where we take the positive square root because we're talking about time *after* the car begins accelerating.

If the mass of a planet is 0.231 mE and its radius is 0.528 rE, estimate the gravitational field g at the surface of the planet.
crimeas [40]

Answer:

8.1 m/s^2

Explanation:

The strength of the gravitational field at the surface of a planet is given by

g=\frac{GM}{R^2} (1)

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

For the Earth:

g_E = \frac{GM_E}{R_E^2}=9.8 m/s^2

For the unknown planet,

M_X = 0.231 M_E\\R_X = 0.528 R_E

Substituting into the eq.(1), we find the gravitational acceleration of planet X relative to that of the Earth:

g_X = \frac{GM_X}{R_X^2}=\frac{G(0.231M_E)}{(0.528R_E)^2}=\frac{0.231}{0.528^2}(\frac{GM_E}{R_E^2})=0.829 g_E

And substituting g = 9.8 m/s^2,

g_X = 0.829(9.8)=8.1 m/s^2
