The graph above represents the data from Activity 3 in this week's lab describing the position of a moving cart as a function of time. The equation for the best-fit line for this position vs. time graph is y = 3.9609x + 0.1739. What is the speed of the cart? [All the quantities are measured in standard units. Do not include units in your answer.]

The speed of the Earth in its orbit is 29.8 km/s. If that is the magnitude of the velocity v of the ether wind in Figure P39.3, find the angle between the velocity of light c in vacuum and the resultant velocity of light if there were an ether.
The speed of light to five significant figures is 2.9979 * 108m>s.What is the speed of light to three significant figures?
true or false. I- The speed of light in vacuum is a universal constant, whose value (without uncertainty, as it is defined as a standard) is c=299792458 m.s -1..The value of c in scientific notation is 2.99792458 x108 m.s-1. II- The value of c (velocity of light in vacuum) written to 3 significant figures is 3.00 x 108 .m.s-1. III- The value of the density of an object obtained was ρ±uρ=(7.768581114 ± 0.012540242) g.cm -3. The value obtained for the density and its respective uncertainty is incorrect, as it makes no sense to report the uncertainty with so many decimal places. IV- To convert g/cm 3 to kg/m 3 just multiply by 10 3.
