“Galileo performed an experiment to measure the speed of light by timing how long it took light to travel from a lamp he was holding to an assistant about 1.5 km away and back again. Why was Galileo unable to conclude that light had a finite speed?”

An alligator swims to the left with a constant velocity of 5 \,\dfrac{\text{m}}{\text s}5 s m ? 5, space, start fraction, m, divided by, s, end fraction. when the alligator sees a bird straight ahead, the alligator speeds up with a constant acceleration of 3 \,\dfrac{\text {m}}{\text s^2}3 s 2 m ? 3, space, start fraction, m, divided by, s, start superscript, 2, end superscript, end fraction leftward until it reaches a final velocity of 35 \,\dfrac{\text {m}}{\text s}35 s m ? 35, space, start fraction, m, divided by, s, end fraction leftward. how many seconds does it take the alligator to speed up from 5 \,\dfrac{\text {m}}{\text s}5 s m ? 5, space, start fraction, m, divided by, s, end fraction to 35 \,\dfrac{\text {m}}{\text s}35 s m ? 35, space, start fraction, m, divided by, s, end fraction?

Two steel balls, each of mass m, are welded to a light rod of length l and negligible mass and are initially at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. a horizontal force of magnitude f is suddenly applied to the rod as shown. determine (a) the instantaneous acceleration a of the mass center g and (b) the corresponding rate at which the angular velocity of the assembly about g is changing with time.

Atoaster oven has a resistive heating element. the average rate at which it dissipates energy as thermal energy is 1.00 \(\rm kw\). in the united states, emf amplitude in household circuits is \(\mathcal e_{\max}\) = 170 \({\rm \; v}\) and the \(\rm ac\) oscillation rate is 60 \(\rm hz\). part a what is the root-mean-square current through the heating element?
