Answer: Light waves slow down as they travel from gas to solid.

Explanation: Light waves move fastest through gases but when going through solids, it moves much slower.

a system that uses reflected radio waves to detect objects and to measure their distance and speed is called
viktelen [127]
Such system is called RADAR (<span>RAdio </span>Detection<span> And Ranging).

The Radar emits radio waves, that are reflected back by the object. Since the speed of the radio waves is known (their speed is equal to the speed of light), by measuring the time the waves take to come back to the source it is possible to infer the distance they covered, and so the distance of the object.</span>

A car is moving in a straight line with the same speed of 100 m/s ,the acceleration in this
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

a = 0m/s²

Explanation:

Average acceleration = (change in velocity)/(time it takes). Since the car's change in velocity is zero, its acceleration is zero.

At the end of the adiabatic expansion, the gas fills a new volume V₁, where V₁ &gt; V₀. Find W, the work done by the gas on the
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

W=\frac{p_0V_0-p_1V_1}{\gamma-1}

Explanation:

An adiabatic process refers to one where there is no exchange of heat.

The equation of state of an adiabatic process is given by,

pV^{\gamma}=k

where,

p = pressure

V = volume

\gamma=\frac{C_p}{C_V}

k = constant

Therefore, work done by the gas during expansion is,

W=\int\limits^{V_1}_{V_0} {p} \, dV

=k\int\limits^{V_1}_{V_0} {V^{-\gamma}} \, dV

=\frac{k}{\gamma -1} (V_0^{1-\gamma}-V_1^{1-\gamma})\\

(using pV^{\gamma}=k )

=\frac{p_0V_0-p_1V_1}{\gamma-1}

A car is travelling at a speed of 30 m/s. It decelerates at a rate of 12 m/s^2. Calculate the time taken for the car to come to
user100 [1]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: t = 2.5 s

Explanation:

Data

vo = 30 m/s

a = -12 m/s2

t = ?

vf = 0 m/s

Formula

vf = vo + at

Substitution

                              0 m/s = 30 + (-12)t

Solve it for t           -30 = -12t

                              t = -30 / -12

                              t =  30/12  = 15/6 = 5/2

                              t = 2.5 s
