Speed of Light

i believe this depends on the type of game you are hunting. for fast moving birds i would use faster loads for slower moving game such as turkeys heavy loads are the key due to better knock down power. this is just my opinion though That depends entirely on what the game is. If it is a heavy animal like a deer or larger then you need the penetration that only a heavy bullet will provide. A light, fast bullet will disintegrate near the surface and not penetrate to the vitals. If you are shooting a small varmit like a prarie dog, a fast, light bullet is adequate since you usually need to shoot from a considerable distance and need a flat shooting bullet, but you don't need any signifant penetraation to kill the animal.

It is not possible to accelerate electrons--or anything else--to the speed of light, much less to 1.5 times the speed of light.

Nominal operating voltages for a CRT range from a couple of thousand volts to a few tens of thousands of volts, depending on the application.

So it’s kind of a complicated process, but here’s the two-sentence version: Lightning is an electric current that takes the path of least resistance from the base of a cloud to the ground. Since the air it travels through is not uniform—variations in things like temperature, humidity, and pollutants determine how resistant air is to the charge—the lightning has to zig and zag to stay on that path.

Simply put, light travels in straight lines. If you want to prove this, look at a beam of light coming from a small torch, or find a tube or hose. You can see through the tube when it's straight, but if it's bent, you can't see anything.

A kaleidoscope uses reflection of light to create its colorful patterns. The light reflects off the mirrors inside the kaleidoscope, creating multiple reflections that form intricate and symmetrical designs.

The uncertainty in the measurement of the speed of light is typically around ±0.3 meters per second. This uncertainty arises from various factors such as experimental errors, instrumental limitations, and environmental conditions. Multiple measurements and techniques are used to reduce this uncertainty and obtain a more accurate value for the speed of light.

"It's not only a good idea...It's the LAW!" LOL.

The constancy of the speed of light in vacuum is the keystone of relativity. Because of this, the frequency/wavelenth of the light changes relative to the observer when the source is approaching or receding from the observer. That's why there is red shift.

Usually, this is explained by analogy to the Doppler effect with sound waves, where the speed of sound is constant and the frequency has to changes as the relative motion changes.

The speed of a galleon would typically range from 5 to 8 knots (5.75 to 9.2 mph or 9.26 to 14.82 km/h).

I don't have the paper in front of me, so this is just off the top of my head, but it seems to me that I've read
that the highest wind speed ever officially recorded was 234 miles per hour, at the weather observatory on
Mt. Washington in New Hampshire.

I read it in the hotel's local information booklet the night before I was scheduled to go up and work on
one of the microwave radio sites on Mt. Washington. I was really looking forward to it, but something
came up and I didn't go. Maybe some day.

Darkness doesn't have a speed. What you are seeing is the light leaving.

You could say it's the same as the speed of light but it's really just your perception that darkness is moving but it's really the absence of light.

A Xenon lighting system is a lot more effected by dirt and grime than a comparable Halogen headlight. For this reason headlight washers are mandatory on cars equipped with HID (Xenon) light systems in almost every country except the US.

Notice that new Acuras, which are mostly only sold in the US, do not have headlight washers on their cars even though most are equipped with HID headlights. That is, as stated, because the US DOT does not have such a requirement.

Also, most countries like the UK, Germany, Denmark, and other EU countries which often experience high levels of precipitation, and are cold and dark, have headlight washers on almost ALL cars sold their.

There isn't a completely simple answer to this question, but I'll try and give you some 'rules of thumb'. As I'm sure you are well aware, the distance a golf ball carries depends on quite a few factors, e.g.: a) atmospheric conditions b) clubhead speed at impact c) how close to the so-called 'sweet spot', on the clubface, the initial contact with the ball is, at impact d) the nature and characteristics of the golf ball and driver in use, which in turn depend on the manufacturer and model. Some balls, and some drivers, produce a more 'lively' impact than others, so that the ball leaves the clubface at a higher speed, even at constant clubhead speed. Also the ball spin characteristics are a variable and again this affects distance. However, having said all of that, here are some ROUGH guideline figures: With a typical, 'middle of the range' modern driver, with a loft of about 10 or 11 degrees, and a 'middle of the range' ball: 90 mph clubhead speed will typically produce about 200 yards of CARRY (not total distance) 100 mph -----------------------------"-----------------------225 110 mph -----------------------------"------------------------250 Now, there are some important things to remember about those numbers: 1) The figures assume a clubface SQUARE TO THE TARGET at impact and 2) The direction of the clubhead is STRAIGHT THROUGH TO THE TARGET at the instant of impact. and 3) The clubface contacts the ball AT THE 'SWEET SPOT' on the clubface. An important thing about point number 3 above is that, as another rule of thumb, for every quarter inch (6.3mm) away from the sweet spot the contact is, you will lose about 5% of distance. Many ordinary golfers, for much of the time, are half an inch or more off the sweet spot. So that's 10%, which equates to 20 yards on a 200 yard drive - quite a lot!! All this underlines the need for golfers to learn to hit the ball BETTER, rather than just trying to hit it harder. Now the above figures are CARRY, not total distance. The extra bit of distance is of course the 'bounce and roll' and this varies enormously when using a driver. On very soft ground you'll get virtually nil bounce and roll, but on hard, dry ground you might get 50 yards or maybe more. Under 'average' ground conditions, you can reckon on bounce and roll being about 10% of the carry distance. What I've said above is by no means an exhaustive explanation of the factors affecting distance, but it's a start. In conclusion, using the figures I've provided, you can deduce that you might expect a 250 yard drive with average modern equipment from a clubhead speed of just over 100 mph, assuming that bounce and roll is 10% of the carry distance, and assuming good, precise, square impact.

'Seeing things' depends on light rays from an object falling on one focal point a certain distance behind your corneas, the focal length. The inability for the naked eye to see things from a distance is due to the corneas' inability to converge all the light rays at the focal point, hence the fuzzy image. Glass from being able to form a convex or concave shape, can easily focus an image to your focal point

As much as we've tried, no one's yet found a loophole in the equations. Regardless of its rest mass, pushing a chunk of matter to the speed of light would result in its acquiring infinite mass, and thus requiring an infinite amount of energy to put it "over the top."

Einstein may not have said it in so many words, but the short answer is, "You can't get there from here" -- if you took all the energy in the observable universe, rounded it up into the biggest laser ever and pointed it at a single electron, you couldn't push that electron to the speed of light. Ever.

This product is called Deck-O-Seal and comes in qts. and gals. Some hardware stores carry it but you should find it at most pool supply stores in two or three colors. Remember that your seal job will not turn out well if you do not correctly prep the site. This product, in order to turn out a well finished job, needs uniform depth an width measurements so that means removing the old stuff and filling the void with the right materials as a sub-grade.

Assuming that it is indeed possible for a sole entity apart from light to travel at the speed of light, it would require an acceleration no greater then the maximum g-force a human can withstand. That being said, the average human can withstand safely a g-force of about 3G. A trained human can withstand a g-force of about 6G per se. So assuming this particular human is to travel at light speed, they would still need to maintain regular cycles such as eating, drinking and so on. That being said no more then 3G is realistic. After doing calculations, using t = (V2 - V1)/a, plugging cin for v2, 0 in for v1, and 3G in for a, we find the time required to reach light speed is approximately 31 years. So to now answer the question, a human could travel at light speed by spending 31 years at an acceleration of 3G. Take into account however, that time will slow down for the person approaching the speed of light. If he was able to reach the speed of light it is theorized that time would stop all together.

No, according to the theory of relativity in physics, information cannot travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. This is because as an object with mass accelerates towards the speed of light, its energy increases towards infinity, making it impossible to exceed the speed of light.

Light's speed is a constant, but it appears to slow down in any media. Everything through which light might have to travel will cause it to appear to slow down. And it isn't necessarly associated with the density of a medium, but its refractive index. Let's set that aside and tackle the question. Why does light appear to slow down in a medium? Let's look at the medium and how light interacts with it. Air, glass, water, plastic or anything else is composed of atoms or molecules. These structures, though they are so small we almost cannot directly observe them (except perhaps with a quantum mechanical tunneling microscope), present a huge obstacle to the light photons. Recall that light, though it is electromagnetic energy, has what is called particle-wave duality, and it can appear to be a particle (with zero mass) as well as a wave. The photon is even more tiny than the atom. Remember atomic structure? Let's look. An atom is a nucleus of some kind with an electron or electrons whizzing around it. It is the electrons that define the "skin" or the "outer boundary" of the atom. The outside perimeter of the electron cloud is the "fence" around the space the atom occupies. And the electrons mean business. The prevent other atoms from "moving into" their space. And the electrons are in motion all the time, sorta like they are on patrol in their orbitals. What happens when a photon shows up? A photon, which is electromagnetic energy, interacts with the electrons in the atoms of the medium through which it is trying to make its way. Each medium treats light differently (and a given medium treats different wavelengths of light differently, too!), and this results in the photons kind of "bouncing there way" through the medium. The speed of the photons, the speed of the light, is constant, but the "delay" introduced by interference caused by the electrons of the atoms and/or molecules of the medium through which it is traveling makes it appear to slow down. The photons have interacted with the electrons of the atoms in the medium and slowed the passage of light through the medium without actually slowing up the light itself. There is a bit more to this, but it isn't practical to conduct a course in quantum electrodynamics here. The long and short of it is that the light interacts with the electrons of the atoms in the medium through which it's moving, being absorbed and re-emitted as it goes.

I don't know what a t.t.l is but I do know that the propagation of the speed of light compared to velocity is explained in Einstien's Special Theory of Relativity. It basically states that as an object approaches the speed of light, distance becomes greater, and time slows down (compared to an object at rest). Unfortunately, there is no way to truly tell if you are at rest. Sure you can say that you are at rest if you are standing still but realize that the Earth is moving through the galaxy at some 30,000 mph at this very moment. The reason for the change in time and space is that the speed of light is constant, no matter how emitted or recorded. This means that light will travel at the speed C even if you are moving at C/2 to begin with. someone approaching you at the same speed will witness the light pass them at the speed C. Someone else standin still (compared to the other two) will also witness the light pass by at the speed C. Get the point? If you need more information just read Einstiens relativity book on the special and general theory; it's tough reading, but it explains everything.

The idle speed decreases to a set point as the engine warms up naturally. The engine when cold needs more fuel than air to stay idling. As the engine temp rises it tells the computer to cut back on the fuel and when it does it lowers the idle rpms. It is a natural thing. If your oil light is out when the engine is cold and idling, and then comes on when the engine becomes warm, you may have an engine oil problem. First check the level of engine oil aftre the engine has been sitting for more than 15 mins. If it needs oil, then add it. You check it using the dipstick, pulling it out, wiping it off and reinserting it and checking the level. If you have enough oil, then you have an oiling problem as far as pressure. The warmer the engine gets, the thinner the oil gets. Thinner oil gives you lower oil pressure at idle. Your oil pump may also be going out, or you may need an overhaul on the engine at the crank. The tolerances where the oil flows inside the engine get larger as the engine ages with miles and uses. This is why it is important to use quality oil but most of all change it as recommended with the filter. You may want to try a thicker oil as a band aid to help the oil pressure but this is only a temporary fix. Eventually the engine will need an overhaul if the bearing surfaces wear out. If you are using an oil with a weight of 5-20, try a 10-30. If you are using a 10-30 try a 10-40. I wouldn't suggest a 20-50 oil since this is a very heavy oil viscosity that is not primary used in todays engines. It is mostly a racing oil. So check the engine oil level, try a little heavier oil weight, start saving for an overhaul. Low oil pressure is a sign an engine needs help beit a new oil pump, a new oil pressure sending unit (the sending unit could be at fault sending you a false oil pressure warning) and alas.....an overhaul. If the engone idle is falling to lower than normal rpms causing the oil light to ome on, then your tps, throttle position sensor may be going bad. It may be telling the computer the car is idling at 800 when in reality it is idling at 500 and throwing the engine oil light to come on. Determine if it is an oil pressure problem, a gauge problem, a tps sensor problem While the engine is cold the idle speed is increased to keep it from stalling. If the oil light comes on once the engine warms up, you probably have worn main/rod bearings. Switch to a heavier grade oil. If you're using 5W15, switch to 10W30 or even 15W50. Use the lowest number oil possible to get the light to stay out. Typically, low oil pressure is caused by worn bearings, but of course there can be other causes for what you're seeing, such as a faulty sensor or worn oil pump, but the problem is ALMOST ALWAYS worn bearings. On the 2.7L DCX engines (esp. 1998-2004 models), when at normal operating temperature the oil light flickers because of excess PSI on the oil pressure sensor. The oil pressure sending unit is right below the exhaust manifold, and at normal op. temp. the heat causes excess pressure behind the switch giving a false reading. The TSB for this issue is to install the vent wire accessory onto the pressure sending unit's spare plug hole to relieve the pressure. You should have your oil pressure checked before hand though to rule out a blocked oil pump pick up tube or worse problems. Chrysler recommends 5w30 synthetic for regular changes at 2500mi.

The brake light coming on when the car leans to the right may indicate a problem with the brake fluid level. When the car leans, the fluid may temporarily move away from the sensor, causing the light to come on. It's recommended to check the brake fluid level and also inspect for any leaks in the braking system.
