A ship is flying away from Earth at 0.9c (where c is the speed of light). A missile is fired that moves toward the Earth at a speed of 0.5c relative to the ship. How fast does the missile move relative to the Earth

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the required speed with which the missile move relative to the Earth is -0.727c

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

relative velocity relation;

u' = u-v / 1 - [tex]\frac{uv}{c^2}[/tex]

so let V[tex]_B[/tex] represent the velocity as seen by an external reference frame; u=V[tex]_B[/tex]

and let V[tex]_A[/tex] represent the speed of the secondary reference frame; v=V[tex]_A[/tex]

hence, u' is the speed of B as seen by A

so

u' = V[tex]_B[/tex]-V[tex]_A[/tex] / 1 - [tex]\frac{V_BV_A}{c^2}[/tex]

now, given that; V[tex]_A[/tex] = 0.9c  and V[tex]_B[/tex]  = 0.5c

we substitute

u' = ( 0.5c - 0.9c ) / 1 - [tex]\frac{(0.5c)(0.9c)}{c^2}[/tex]

u' = ( 0.5c - 0.9c ) / 1 - [tex]\frac{c^2(0.5)(0.9)}{c^2}[/tex]

u' = ( 0.5c - 0.9c ) / 1 - (0.5 × 0.9)

u' = ( -0.4c ) / 1 - 0.45

u' = -0.4c / 0.55

u' = -0.727c

Therefore, the required speed with which the missile move relative to the Earth is -0.727c

Kulsum’s TV uses 45 W. How much does it cost her to watch TV for one month (30 days). She watches TV for 4 hours/day during mid-peak time (10.4 cents/kWh).

Answers

Answer:

Total cost = 56.16 cents

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Power = 45 Watts

Time = 4 hours

Number of days = 30 days

Cost = 10.4 cents

To find how much does it cost her to watch TV for one month;

First of all, we would determine the energy consumption of the TV;

Energy = power * time

Energy = 45 * 4

Energy = 180 Watt-hour = 180/1000 = 0.18 Kwh (1 Kilowatts is equal to 1000 watts).

Energy consumption = 0.18 Kwh

Next, we find the total cost;

Total cost = energy * number of days * cost

Total cost = 0.18 * 30 * 10.4

Total cost = 56.16 cents

Your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. A tow truck weighing 4000 lbs. comes along and agrees to tow your car, which weighs 2000 lbs., to the nearest town. The driver of the truck attaches his cable to your car at an angle of 20 degrees to horizontal. He tells you that his cable has a strength of 500 lbs. He plans to take 10 secs to tow your car at a constant acceleration from rest in a straight line along a flat road until he reaches the maximum speed of 45 m.p.h. Can the driver carry out the plan

Answers

Answer:

F = 1010 Lb

the tension on the cable is greater than its resistance, which is why the plan is not viable

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use the kinematic relations to find the acceleration and with Newton's second law find the force to which the cable is subjected.

          v = v₀ + a t

how the car comes out of rest v₀ = 0

          a = v / t

let's reduce to the english system

          v = 45 mph (5280 ft / 1 mile) (1h / 3600) = 66 ft / s

let's calculate

          a = 66/10

          a = 6.6 ft / s²

now let's write Newton's second law

X axis

         Fₓ = ma

with trigonometry

         cos 20 = Fₓ / F

         Fₓ = F cos 20

we substitute

          F cos 20 = m a

          F = m a / cos20

          W = mg

          F = [tex]\frac{W}{g} \ \frac{a}{cos 20}[/tex]

let's calculate

          F = [tex]\frac{2000}{32} \ \frac{6.6 }{cos20}[/tex](2000/32) 6.6 / cos 20

          F = 1010 Lb

Under these conditions, the tension on the cable is greater than its resistance, which is why the plan is not viable.

A strong trough in a Rossby wave occurs when the jet stream A. bends towards the Equator. B. bends toward the poles. C. does not bend but maintains an east to west flow. D. does not bend but maintains a west to east flow.

Answers

Answer:

A. bends towards the Equator.

Explanation:

Rossby waves are inertial waves that are naturally occurring in a rotating fluids. These waves are also called as the planetary waves.

The Rossby waves are undulated that occur in the polar front jet stream when there is a significant differences in the temperatures between the polar and the tropical air masses.

It occurs when the polar air masses moves towards the equator and when the tropical air masses moves towards the pole.  It is formed when the air bends away from the poles and bends towards the equator.

Hence the correct option is (A).

Answers

Answer:

72  is the premimum of the insurance.

Explanation:

Below is the given values:

The loading = 0.4

Coinsurance rate = 0.2

Number of units = 100

Total number of units = 100 * 0.4 = 40

Remaining units = 60 * 0.2 = 12

Add the 60 and 12 values = 60 + 12 = 72

Thus, 72  is the premimum of the insurance.

A 5.0-kg mass is placed at (3.0, 4.0) m, and a 6.0-kg mass is placed at (3.0, -4.0) m. What is the moment of inertia of this system of masses about the y-axis?

Answers

Answer:

the moment of inertia of this system of masses about the y-axis is 99 kgm²

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass m₁ = 5.0 kg at point ( 3.0, 4.0 )

mass m₂ = 6.0 kg at point ( 3.0, -4.0 )

Now, Moment of inertia [tex]I[/tex] of this system of masses about the y-axis will be;

Moment of inertia [tex]I[/tex]ₓ = mixi²

Moment of inertia [tex]I[/tex] = m₁x₁² + m₂x₂²

we substitute

Moment of inertia [tex]I[/tex] = [ 5.0 × ( 3 )² ]  + [ 6.0 × ( 3 )² ]

Moment of inertia [tex]I[/tex] = [ 5.0 × 9 ]  + [ 6.0 × 9 ]

Moment of inertia [tex]I[/tex] = 45 + 54

Moment of inertia [tex]I[/tex] = 99 kgm²

Therefore, the moment of inertia of this system of masses about the y-axis is 99 kgm²

A 2 kg object traveling at 5 m s on a frictionless horizontal surface collides head-on with and sticks to a 3 kg object initially at rest. Which of the following correctly identifies the change in total kinetic energy and the resulting speed of the objects after the collision? Kinetic Energy Speed
(A) Increases 2 m/s 3.2 m/s
(B) Increases Soold 2 m/s
(C) Decreases 3.2 m/s
(D) Decreases

Answers

Answer: (d)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of object [tex]m=2\ kg[/tex]

Speed of object [tex]u=5\ m/s[/tex]

Mass of object at rest [tex]M=3\ kg[/tex]

Suppose after collision, speed is v

conserving momentum

[tex]\Rightarrow mu+0=(m+M)v\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{2\times 5}{2+3}\\\\\Rightarrow v=2\ m/s[/tex]

Initial kinetic energy

[tex]k_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 5^2\\\\k_1=25\ J[/tex]

Final kinetic energy

[tex]k_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (2+3)\times 2^2\\\\k_2=10\ J[/tex]

So, it is clear there is decrease in kinetic energy . Thus, energy decreases and velocity becomes 2 m/s.

Increasing the surfactant concentration above the critical micellar concentration
will result in: Select one:
1.An increase in surface tension
2. A decrease in surface tension
3. No change in surface tension
4.None of the above​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:no change in surface tension

An increase in the surfactant concentration above the critical micellar concentration will result in no change in surface tension.

In water-gas interface, surfactant reduces the surface tension of water by adsorbing at the liquid–gas interface.

Also, in oil-water interface, surfactant reduces the interfacial tension between oil and water by adsorbing at the oil-water interface.

The concentration of the surfactant can increase to a level called critical micellar concentration, which is an important characteristic of a surfactant.

As the concentration of the surfactant increases before critical micellar concentration, the surface tension changes strongly with an increase in the concentration of the surfactant. After reaching the critical micellar concentration, any further increase in the concentration will result in no change of the surface tension, that is the surface tension will be constant.

Thus, increasing the surfactant concentration above the critical micellar concentration will result in no change in surface tension.

A scenario where reaction time is important is when driving on the highway. During the delay between seeing an obstacle and reacting to avoid it (or to slam on the brakes!) you are still moving at full highway speed. Calculate how much distance you cover in meters before you start to put your foot on the brakes if you are travelling 65 miles per hour.

Answers

Answer:

66.83 meters

Explanation:

After a quick online search, it seems that scientists calculate the average reaction time of individuals as 2.3 seconds between seeing an obstacle and putting their foot on the brakes. Now that we have this reaction time we need to turn the miles/hour into meters/second.

1 mile = 1609.34 meters  (multiply these meters by 65)

65 miles = 104,607 meters

1 hour = 3600 seconds

Therefore the car was going 104,607 meters every 3600 seconds. Let's divide these to find the meters per second.

[tex]\frac{104,607}{3600} = \frac{29.0575 meters}{1 second}[/tex]

Now we simply multiply these meters by 2.3 seconds to find out the distance covered before the driver puts his/her foot on the brakes...

29.0575m * 2.3s = 66.83 meters

help me with this question ​

Answers

Explanation:

Let's set the x-axis to be parallel to the and positive up the plane. Likewise, the y-axis will be positive upwards and perpendicular to the plane. As the problem stated, we are going to assume that m1 will move downwards so its acceleration is negative while m2 moves up so its acceleration is positive. There are two weight components pointing down the plane, [tex]m_1g \sin \theta[/tex] and [tex]m_2g \sin \theta[/tex] and two others pointing up the plane, the two tensions T along the strings. There is a normal force N pointing up from the plane and two pointing down, [tex]m_1g \sin \theta[/tex] and [tex]m_2g \sin \theta[/tex]. Now let's apply Newton's 2nd law to this problem:

x-axis:

[tex]m1:\:\:\:\displaystyle \sum_i F_i = T - m_1g \sin \theta = - m_1a\:\:\:\:(1)[/tex]

[tex]m2:\:\:\:\displaystyle \sum_i F_i = T - m_2g \sin \theta = m_2a\:\:\:\:(2)[/tex]

y-axis:

[tex]\:\:\:\displaystyle \sum_i F_i = N - m_1g \cos \theta - m_2g \cos \theta = 0[/tex]

Use Eqn 1 to solve for T,

[tex]T = m_1(g \sin \theta - a)[/tex]

Substitute this expression for T into Eqn 2,

[tex]m_1g \sin \theta - m_1a - m_2g \sin \theta = m_2a[/tex]

Collecting all similar terms, we get

[tex](m_1 + m_2)a = (m_1 - m_2)g \sin \theta[/tex]

or

[tex]a = \left(\dfrac{m_1 - m_2}{m_1 + m_2} \right)g \sin \theta[/tex]
