If a clock aboard a space ship traveling at 0.900 c of the speed of light relative to earth chimes once at the beginning of the hour and again when it reads one hour later, how much time would an observer on earth say elapsed between the two chimes?

Acoil formed by wrapping 80 turns of wire in the shape of a square is positioned in a magnetic field so that the normal to the plane of the coil makes an angle of 28.0° with the direction of the field. when the magnetic field is increased uniformly from 200 µt to 600 µt in 0.400 as, an emf of magnitude 80.0 mv is induced in the coil. what is the total length of the wire?

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.
