When can the equations of kinematics not be used?
Equations of kinematics may not be accurate when dealing with very high speeds close to the speed of light due to relativistic effects. Similarly, they may not be applicable in quantum mechanical systems that involve particles on very small scales. Additionally, for systems with significant air resistance or non-constant forces, kinematic equations may not provide accurate results.
What is the scientific name for the speed of light?
The scientific name for the speed of light is "speed of light" or "c." In equations, it is often represented by the letter "c," which stands for "celeritas," the Latin word for speed.
What letter is used to represent the speed of light in a vacuum?
The letter "c" is used to represent the speed of light in a vacuum in physics equations.
Who discovered that the electric current flows at the speed of light?
The discovery that electric current flows at the speed of light is attributed to a Scottish physicist named James Clerk Maxwell. In his equations known as Maxwell's equations, he determined that the speed of electromagnetic waves, which includes light and electricity, is constant and equal to the speed of light.
Is speed of light a universal constant?
As best we can tell, yes. If Maxwell's Equations apply in all parts of our Universe, then the vacuum propagation speed of EM radiation (ie, light) will be the same in all parts of our Universe. We have no reason to think that our small portion of our Universe has different physical laws than other parts.
What speed does light go at?
Light travels at a speed of approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (or about 186,282 miles per second) in a vacuum. This speed is commonly referred to as the speed of light, denoted as "c" in scientific equations.
Does the speed of light apply to all lights and bulbs?
Yes
Who first proposed the speed of light is 186000 miles per second?
The expected speed of light fell out of James Clerk-Maxwell's equations, before it was measured and confirmed.
In a 3D game a 4 kg object slides down a frictionless curved track from a height of 3.5 m what is the object's speed at the bottom of the track?
First of all..... I HATE APEX... they are the worst. I am using the kinematic equations... it is all i could come up with
Why is the speed of light 186000 miles per second?
Consult Maxwell's Equations. It is derived from electrical and magnetic constants.
Which System of mathematical equations is used to describe behavior of small particles traveling at velocities near speed of light?
Schrödinger's equations, I believe
Who contributed to the evidence of electromagnetic waves and their link to light?
James Clerk Maxwell derived the existence of electromagnetic waves. Due to its speed (as calculated from his equations), which is the speed of light, he concluded that light is probably also an electromagnetic wave. This was confirmed later.
