An experiment to measure the speed of light uses an apparatus similar to Fizeau's. The distance between the light source and the

mirror is 10 m, and the wheel has 800 notches. If the wheel rotates at 9000 rev/s when the light from the source is extinguished, what is the experimental value for c (in m/s)?

Answer:

2.88*10^{8} m/s

Explanation:

The speed of light is given by

c=\frac {2d}{t} and t=\frac {\theta}{\omega} hence

c=\omega\frac {2d}{\theta}

Speed of light is given by

c=900\times 2\pi(\frac {2\times 10}{\frac {2\pi}{2*800}}})=2.88*10^{8} m/s

--->Two aircraft P and Q are flying at the same speed. 300 m/s, The direction along which P is flying is at right angles to t
REY [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the velocity of the aircraft P relative to aircraft Q is zero

Explanation:

The velocity of the two aircraft, P & Q, v = 300 m/s

The angle of the direction between them, Ф = 90°

The magnitude of the velocity of aircraft P relative to aircraft Q is given by the formula

                                  <em> V = v cos Ф </em>

Substituting the values in the above equation

                                   v = 300 x cos 90°

                                      = 300 x 0

                                      = 0

Since the aircraft are at right angles, the velocity of one aircraft relative to the other is zero.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

If they are metallic spheres  they are connected to earth and a charged body approaches

non- metallic (insulating) spheres in this case are charged by rubbing

Explanation:

For fillers, there are two fundamental methods, depending on the type of material.

If they are metallic spheres, they are connected to earth and a charged body approaches, this induces a charge of opposite sign and of equal magnitude, then it removes the contact to earth and the sphere is charged.

If the non- metallic (insulating) spheres in this case are charged by rubbing with some material or touching with another charged material, in this case the sphere takes half the charge and when separated each sphere has half the charge and with equal sign.

Imagine you derive the following expression by analyzing the physics of a particular system: v2=v20+2ax. The problem requires so
lisabon 2012 [21]

As per kinematics equation we are given that

v^2 = v_o^2 + 2ax

now we are given that

a = 2.55 m/s^2

v_0 = 21.8 m/s

v = 0

now we need to find x

from above equation we have

0^2 = 21.8^2 + 2(2.55)x

0 = 475.24 + 5.1 x

x = 93.2 m

so it will cover a distance of 93.2 m

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

A. Increase in temperature is 0.0176 degree Celsius. b. the remaining energy will be lost.

Explanation:

The mass of copper block = 7kg

Initial speed = 4.0 m/s

Specific heat of copper = 0.385 j/g degree Celcius.

a. The increase in temperature is calculated below:

\text{Change in kinetic energy} = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} \\=  \frac{1}{2} \times 2.7 \times 4^{2} = 21.6 J \\

85% of energy is converted into internal energy.

mc\DeltaT = 21.6 \times 0.85 \\2.7 \times 385 \times \Delta T = 21.6 \times 0.85 \\\Delta T = 0.0176 degree \ celsius

b. The remaining  15 per cent of kinetic energy will be lost and it will be changed into other forms.
