Light travels at a speed of about 3 103 m/s. (a) How many miles down a pulse of light travel in a time interval of 0.1 s, which is about the blink of an eye? (b) Compare this distance to the diameter of Earth.
The great astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that all distant galaxies are receding from our Milky Way Galaxy with velocities proportional to their distances. It appears to an observer on the Earth that we are at the center of an expanding universe. Figure 3.64 illustrates this for five galaxies lying along a straight line, with the Milky Way Galaxy at the center. Using the data from the figure, calculate the velocities: (a) relative to galaxy 2 and (b) relative to galaxy 5. The results mean that observers on all galaxies will see themselves at the center of the expanding universe, and they would likely be aware of relative velocities, concluding that it is not possible to locate the center of expansion with the given information. Figure 3.64 Five galaxies on a straight line, showing their distances and velocities relative to the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy. The distances are in millions of light years (Mly), where a light year is the distance light travels in one year. The velocities are nearly proportional to the distances. The sizes of the galaxies are greatly exaggerated; an average galaxy is about 0.1 MlY across.
A space probe on the surface of Mars sends a radio signal back to the Earth, a distance of 7.86 107 km. Radio waves travel at the speed of light (3.00 108 m/s). How many seconds does it take the signal to reach the Earth?
The Tunguska event. On June 30, 1908, a meteor burned up and exploded in the atmosphere above the Tunguska River valley in Siberia. It knocked down trees over thousands of square kilometers and started a forest fire, but produced no crater and apparently caused no human casualties. A witness sitting on his doorstep outside the zone of falling trees recalled events in the following sequence. He saw a moving light in the sky, brighter than the Sun and descending at a low angle to the horizon. He felt his face become warm. He felt the ground shake. An invisible agent picked him up and immediately dropped him about a meter from where he had been seated. He heard a very loud protracted rumbling. Suggest an explanation for these observations and for the order in which they happened.
Consider an omnidirectional mobile robot with a ring of nine ultrasonic sensors (each with an opening angle of 40o) that are fired sequentially. Calculate the maximum length of time required for a complete 360o scan if the furthest object of interest is 6m away at any given time. Give your answer in seconds, to 3 decimal places. Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.
Can you explain it to me please
It’s takes 2.75s for sound to travel 908m how fast is the sound
3. You see a flash of lighting. By counting the seconds, you determine that it’s about1.6 km away. How long did the light take to reach you?
hello im having trouble understanding this, could someone help. i put what think would be correct but i don't know
Can you explain it ?
