A laser beam takes 15 ms to travel from a rocket to the reflective surface of a planet and back to the rocket. How far is the rocket from this planet's surface

Answers

Answer 1

Explanation:

It took 7.5 ms or [tex]7.5×10^{-3}\:\text{s}[/tex] for the laser beam to reach the planet's surface. Since the speed of light is [tex]3×10^8\:\text{m/s}[/tex], the distance is

[tex]d = vt = (3×10^8\:\text{m/s})(7.5×10^{-3}\:\text{s})[/tex]

[tex]\:\:\:\:=2.25×10^{6}\:\text{m}[/tex]

As the speed of a particle approaches the speed of light, the momentum of the particle Group of answer choices approaches zero. decreases. approaches infinity. remains the same. increases.

Answers

Answer:

approaches infinity

Explanation:

There are two momentums, the classical momentum which is equal to the product of mass and velocity, and the relativistic momentum, the one we should look at when we work with high speeds, and this happens because massive objects have a speed limit, in this case, we are approaching the speed of light, so we need to work with the relativistic momentum instead of the classical momentum.

The relativistic momentum can be written as:

[tex]p = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{u^2}{c^2} } } *m*u[/tex]

where

u = speed of the object relative to the observer, in this case we have that u tends to c, the speed of light.

m = mass of the object

c = speed of light.

So, as u tends to c, we will have:

[tex]\lim_{u \to c} p = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{u^2}{c^2} } } *m*u[/tex]

Notice that when u tends to c, the denominator on the first term tends to zero, thus, the relativistic momentum of the object will tend to infinity.

Then the correct option is infinity, as the particle speed approaches the speed of light, the relativistic momentum of the particle tends to infinity.

11. From this lab we can conclude that a) the heat transferred when objects are rubbed together creates an energy that can cause objects to move towards or away from each other. b) objects such as balloons and sweaters have a natural affinity towards each other. They will attract each other whether they are rubbed together or not. c) charges exert forces on other charges. do) charges do not exert forces on other charges.

Answers

Answer:

c) charges exert forces on other charges.

Explanation:

When two different materials are rubbed together, there is a transfer of electrons from one material to the other material so this causes one object to become positively charged and the other object is negatively charged so they will attract each other not repel each other. Charges exert forces on other charges i.e. opposite charges attract each other whereas similar charges repel each other so in both cases force are exerted on one another.

A regulation soccer field for international play is a rectangle with a length between 100 m and a width between 64 m and 75 m. What are the smallest and largest areas that the field could be?

Answers

Answer:

The smallest and largest areas could be 6400 m and 7500 m, respectively.

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by:

[tex] A = l*w [/tex]

Where:

l: is the length = 100 m

w: is the width

We can calculate the smallest area with the lower value of the width.

[tex] A_{s} = 100 m*64 m = 6400 m^{2} [/tex]                            

And the largest area is:

[tex] A_{l} = 100 m*75 m = 7500 m^{2} [/tex]  

Therefore, the smallest and largest areas could be 6400 m and 7500 m, respectively.            

I hope it helps you!                        

Answer:

the largest areas that the field could be is [tex]A_l[/tex]=7587.75 m

the smallest areas that the field could be is [tex]A_s[/tex]=6318.25 m

Explanation:

to the find the largest and the smallest area of the field measurement error is to be considered.

we have to find the greatest possible error, since the measurement was made nearest whole mile, the greatest possible error is half of 1 mile and that is 0.5m.

therefore to find the largest possible area we add the error in the mix of the formular for finding the perimeter with the largest width as shown below:

[tex]A_l[/tex]= (L+0.5)(W+0.5)

(100+0.5)(75+0.5) = (100.5)(75.5) = 7587.75 m

To find the smallest length we will have to subtract instead of adding the error factor value of 0.5 as shown below:

[tex]A_s[/tex]= (L-0.5)(W-0.5)

(100-0.5)(64-0.5) = (99.5)(63.5) = 6318.25 m

An object is made of glass and has the shape of a cube 0.13 m on a side, according to an observer at rest relative to it. However, an observer moving at high speed parallel to one of the object's edges and knowing that the object's mass is 3.3 kg determines its density to be 8100 kg/m3, which is much greater than the density of glass. What is the moving observer's speed (in units of c) relative to the cube

Answers

Answer:

[tex]v=0.9833\ c[/tex]

Explanation:

The density changes means that the length in the direction of the motion is changed.

Therefore,

[tex]$\text{Density} = \frac{m}{lwh}$[/tex]

Given :

Side,  b = h = 0.13 m

Mass, m = 3.3 kg

Density = 8100 [tex]kg/m^3[/tex]

So,

[tex]$8100=\frac{3.3}{l \times 0.13 \times 0.13}$[/tex]

[tex]$l=\frac{3.3}{8100 \times 0.13 \times 0.13}$[/tex]

l = 0.024 m

Then for relativistic length contraction,

[tex]$l= l' \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$[/tex]

[tex]$0.024= 0.13 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$[/tex]

[tex]$0.184= \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$[/tex]

[tex]$0.033= 1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$[/tex]

[tex]$\frac{v^2}{c^2}= 0.967$[/tex]

[tex]$\frac{v}{c}=0.9833$[/tex]

[tex]v=0.9833\ c[/tex]

Therefore, the speed of the observer relative to the cube is 0.9833 c (in the units of c).

Use the pressure meter to read the pressure in Fluid A at the bottom of the tank. Do not move the pressure meter. Switch to Fluid B and read the pressure in fluid B. Based on the two readings, compare the density of fluid B to the density of fluid A. Which statement is correct?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P_b = \frac{\rho_b}{\rho_a} \ P_a[/tex]

Explanation:

The pressure at a depth of a fluid is

       P = ρ g y

where ρ is the density of the fluid, y the depth of the gauge measured from the surface of the fluid.

In this case the pressure for fluid A is

      Pa = ρₐ g y

the pressure for fluid B is

      P_b = ρ_b g y

depth y not changes as the gauge is stationary

if we look for the relationship between these pressures

       [tex]\frac{P_a}{P_b} = \frac{ \rho_a}{\rho_b}[/tex]

       

        [tex]P_b = \frac{\rho_b}{\rho_a} \ P_a[/tex]

therefore we see that the pressure measured for fluid B is different from the pressure of fluid A

if  ρₐ < ρ_b B the pressure P_b is greater than the initial reading

   ρₐ>  ρ_b the pressure in B decreases with respect to the reading in liquid A

A projectile, fired with unknown initial velocity, lands 20sec later on side of hill, 3000m away horizontally and 450m vertically above its starting point. a) what is the vertical component of its initial velocity? b) what is the horizontal component of velocity?​

Answers

Explanation:

Given:

t = 20 seconds

x = 3000 m

y = 450 m

a) To find the vertical component of the initial velocity [tex]v_{0y}[/tex], we can use the equation

[tex]y = v_{0y}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

Solving for [tex]v_{0y}[/tex],

[tex]v_{0y} = \dfrac{y + \frac{1}{2}gt^2}{t}[/tex]

[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{(450\:\text{m}) + \frac{1}{2}(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(20\:\text{s})^2}{(20\:\text{s})}[/tex]

[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=120.5\:\text{m/s}[/tex]

b) We can solve for the horizontal component of the velocity [tex]v_{0x}[/tex] as

[tex]x = v_{0x}t \Rightarrow v_{0x} = \dfrac{x}{t} = \dfrac{3000\:\text{m}}{20\:\text{s}}[/tex]

or

[tex]v_{0x} = 150\:\text{m/s}[/tex]

A car is driving towards an intersection when the light turns red. The brakes apply a constant force of 1,398 newtons to bring the car to a complete stop in 25 meters. If the weight of the car is 4,729 newtons, how fast was the car going initially

Answers

Answer:

the initial velocity of the car is 12.04 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

force applied by the break, f = 1,398 N

distance moved by the car before stopping, d = 25 m

weight of the car, W = 4,729 N

The mass of the car is calculated as;

W = mg

m = W/g

m = (4,729) / (9.81)

m = 482.06 kg

The deceleration of the car when the force was applied;

-F = ma

a = -F/m

a = -1,398 / 482.06

a = -2.9 m/s²

The initial velocity of the car is calculated as;

v² = u² + 2ad

where;

v is the final velocity of the car at the point it stops = 0

u is the initial velocity of the car before the break was applied

0 = u² + 2(-a)d

0 = u² - 2ad

u² = 2ad

u = √2ad

u = √(2 x 2.9 x 25)

u =√(145)

u = 12.04 m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity of the car is 12.04 m/s

explain what would happen if the cell was disconnected from the circuit ( please help me)​

Answers

Most of the time, "cell" means a battery, and if it gets disconnected, all voltage and current in the circuit goes away.  

I know this is a lame answer, but it kinda depends on what the cell was doing in the circuit, and what else is in the circuit besides the cell, and you haven't told us anything about these details, so that's really all we can guess.

Although your question is incomplete a general answer within the concept of your question is provided:    when the cell is disconnected from the Circuit the flow of voltage across the circuit will be halted.

A cell/battery is often used as a voltage source in electrical circuits, since the cell is a power source, when the cell is connected to a circuit the cell discharges some of its voltage to the components of the circuit ( such as capacitors ) to keep the circuit functional. so when the cell is disconnected from the circuit the flow of voltage is halted

Hence we can conclude that without a voltage source ( cell ) in a circuit there will be no flow of voltage across the components of the circuit.

find the upward force in Newton when each of these is under water(density of 1g/cm3) a lump of iron of volume 2000cm3​

Answers

Answer:

Upthrust = 19.6 N

Explanation:

When an object is immersed under water, the upward force it experience is called an upthrust. An upthrust is a force which is applied on any object in a fluid which acts in an opposite direction to the direction of the weight of the object.

Upthrust = density of liquid x gravitational force x volume of object

i.e U = ρ x g x vol

Given: ρ = 1g/[tex]cm^{3}[/tex] (1000 kg/[tex]m^{3}[/tex]), volume = 2000 c[tex]m^{3}[/tex] (0.002 [tex]m^{3}[/tex]) and g = 9.8 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]

So that;

U = 1000 x 9.8 x 0.002 (kg/[tex]m^{3}[/tex] x [tex]m^{3}[/tex] x m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex])

   = 19.6 Kg m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]

U = 19.6 Newtons

The upthrust on the iron is 19.6 N.
