Please answer:
Galileo, in order to measure the speed of light, performed this simple
experiment: He and his assistant each took a lantern that had a shutter in front of it,
and stood on hilltops one mile apart in the night.
Galileo was to flash his lantern, and the assistant was to open the shutter of his own
lantern as soon as he saw the light from Galileo's lantern. Galileo had planned to
measure the time taken for light to travel from one hill to the other and back, and
calculate the speed of light using the formula, Speed = distance traveled / time
taken But he could not measure the speed of light using this method. What could
have been the reason for this?
A. The distance between the two hills was too much for them to see the light from
the other person's lantern.
B. Light does not travel in straight lines and so the distance traveled by it cannot
be measured.
C. The time taken for the light to travel would have been too little to have been
measured by them.
D. Light does not travel because it is present everywhere, so its 'speed' cannot be
calculated
I asked this question before also please answer

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: C. The time taken for the light to travel would have been too little to have been  measured by them.

Explanation:

Light travels at a speed of 300,000 km per second which is much too fast for the naked eye to even comprehend. This is why light shinning in a distance is picked up instantaneously by out eyes.

This experiment done by Galileo would therefore be unable to measure the speed of light because the light from either lantern would have traveled too fast for Galileo to be able to measure the time taken.

A feather is falling towards the ground at a constant speed. Of the forces listed, identify which act upon the feather.

Answers

Answer:

Gravitational force

Explanation:

Gravitational force is what is making the feather go down. It's pushing the feather down, without the Gravitational force, the feather would have been going up, and not down. Just like us. Gravitational force is what keeps us humans from floating ( unless ur an alien jklol), So yeah Gravitational force is the force that acts upon the feather to fall towards the ground at a constant speed.

Btw, u never listed the forces here just ....

A feather is falling towards the ground at a constant speed. Forces act upon the feather is gravitational force.

What is force?

A force is an effect that can alter an object's motion according to physics. An object with mass can change its velocity, or accelerate, as a result of a force. An obvious way to describe force is as a push or a pull. A force is a vector quantity since it has both magnitude and direction.

When body is falling the net acceleration that objects get as a result of the combined action of gravity and centrifugal force is known as the Earth's gravity, or g. It is a vector quantity

Mr Chichester is driving his dark blue camaro to a REO Speedwagon concert. He is driving 15 m/s when he realizes he is going to be late to his favorite band so he slams on the gas for 10s and reaches a final velocity of 45 m/s. How far did Mr. Chichesters travel during this 10s?

Answers

Answer:

300m

Explanation:

step one

given data

initial speed u= 15m/s

final speed v= 45m/s

time taken to attain final speed= 10seconds

Step two:

Let us first solve for the acceleration

a= Δv/t

a= 45-15/10

a=30/10

a= 3m/s

applying the equation of motion

[tex]v^2=u^2+2as[/tex]

substituting our given data

[tex]45^2+15^2+2*3*s\\\\2025=225+6s\\\\[/tex]

collect like terms

2025-225=6s

1800=6s

divide both sides by 6

s=1800/6

s=300m

Which has greater kinetic energy: a bowling ball that has a mass of 5 kg travelling at 6 m/s, or a ship that has a mass of 120000 kg and is moving at 0.02 m/s?

Answers

Answer:

The bowling ball has greater kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is given by:

[tex] K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} [/tex]

Where:

m: is the mass

v: is the speed

For the bowling ball we have:

[tex]K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = \frac{1}{2}5 kg*(6 m/s)^{2} = 90 J[/tex]

And for the ship:

[tex]K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = \frac{1}{2}120000 kg*(0.02 m/s)^{2} = 24 J[/tex]

Therefore, the bowling ball has greater kinetic energy.
