7 0

Answer:

speed of light: 299,792,458

what does light travel fasted through?: Light will have the fastest velocity when it travels through the air. Light will have the slowest velocity when it travels through gelatin. Why? Light slows down when passing through different transparent materials. The more it slows down, the more it bends when it hits a medium made of that material

Discuss why the article says the fact that we’re in our universe complicates our understanding of the expansion of the universe.

MArishka [77]

<span>Because of our perception of the universe from inside the universe, we are unable to see how and towards what the universe is expanding. Also, our understanding of it is further complicated because we are moving as part of the expansion, thus distorting our perception of it.</span>

Heptane and water do not mix, and heptane has a lower density (0.684 g/mL) than water (1.00 g/mL). A graduated cylinder contains

lakkis [162]

Given that the density of heptane is

$d_h=\frac{0.684g}{mL}$

The mass of heptane is

$m_h=31\text{ g}$

The density of water is

$d_w=\frac{1g}{mL}$

The mass of water is

$m_w=37\text{ g}$

The volume of heptane will be

$\begin{gathered} V_h=\frac{m_h}{d_h} \\ =\frac{31}{0.684} \\ =45.32\text{ mL} \end{gathered}$

The volume of water will be

$\begin{gathered} V_w=\frac{m_w}{d_w} \\ =\frac{37}{1} \\ =37\text{ mL} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the volume of heptane is 45.32 mL and the volume of water is 37 mL.

The total volume of liquid in the cylinder will be

$\begin{gathered} V=V_h+V_w \\ =45.32+37 \\ =82.32\text{ mL} \end{gathered}$

The total volume of liquid in the cylinder will be 82.32 mL.

Two pipes move the same amount of ideal fluid in the same amount of time. One pipe has a 2 in. diameter; the other has a 3 in. d

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

a) 3-in. pipe

Explanation:

Given that

Fluid flow is in same amount in the same time it means that volume flow rate is same for the pipes

Volume flow rate

Q = A V

A=Area ,V=Velocity

$A=\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2$

If diameter d is more then the velocity will be less for same volume flow rate .We also Know that if pressure is more then the velocity will be less.

The second pipe 3 in diameter having more diameter then the velocity will be less but the pressure will be more.

That is why the 3 in diameter is having more pressure than 2 in diameter pipe.

Therefore the answer will be a.

a) 3-in diameter pipe

If two micro coulomb of charge is flowing in a circuit for 5 minutes. What is the amount of current in the circuit?

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

6.67×10¯⁹ A

Explanation:

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

Quantity of electricity (Q) = 2 μC

Time (t) = 5 mins

Current (I) =?

Next, we shall convert 2 μC to C. This can be obtained as follow:

1 μC = 1×10¯⁶ C

Therefore,

2 μC = 2 μC × 1×10¯⁶ C / 1 μC

2 μC = 2×10¯⁶ C

Next, we shall convert 5 mins to seconds. This can be obtained as follow:

1 min = 60 secs

Therefore,

5 min = 5 min × 60 sec / 1 min

5 mins = 300 s

Finally, we shall determine the current in the circuit. This can be obtained as follow:

Quantity of electricity (Q) = 2×10¯⁶ C

Time (t) = 300 s

Current (I) =?

Q = It

2×10¯⁶ = I × 300

Divide both side by 300

I = 2×10¯⁶ / 300

I = 6.67×10¯⁹ A

Thus, the current in the circuit is 6.67×10¯⁹ A
