A star is moving towards the earth with a speed at 90% the speed of light. It emits light, which moves away from the star at the

Answer:

The speed of light measured in any frame is c = 3.00E8 m/s.

This is one  of Einstein's  postulates of special relativity.

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Let the natural length of the spring = L

so

100 = k(40 - L)       (1)

200 = k(60 - L)       (2)

(2)/(1):   2 = (60 - L)/(40 - L)

60 - L = 2(40 - L)

60 - L = 80 - 2L

2L - L = 80 - 60

L = 20

Sub it into (1):

100 = k(40 - 20) = 20k

k = 100/20 = 5 N/in

Now

X = k(30 - L) = 5(30 - 20) = 50 N

Okay i'm totally stuck and nobody I know really gets it either, so i've turned to Yahoo for help :)

Here is the rule for see-saws here on Earth, and there is no reason
to expect that it doesn't work exactly the same anywhere else:

                     (weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on one side</u>
is equal to
                     (weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on the other side</u>.

That's why, when Dad and Tiny Tommy get on the see-saw, Dad sits
closer to the pivot and Tiny Tommy sits farther away from it.

       (Dad's weight) x (short length) = (Tiny Tommy's weight) x (longer length).


So now we come to the strange beings on the alien planet.
There are three choices right away that both work:

<u>#1).</u>
(400 N) in the middle-seat, facing (200 N) in the end-seat.

       (400) x (1)  =    (200) x (2)

<u>#2).</u>
(200 N) in the middle-seat, facing (100 N) in the end-seat.

       (200) x (1)  =    (100) x (2)

<u>#3).</u>

On one side:  (300 N) in the end-seat       (300) x (2) = <u>600</u>

On the other side:
                      (400 N) in the middle-seat  (400) x (1) = 400
           and     (100 N) in the end-seat      (100) x (2) = 200
                                                    Total . . . . . . . . . . . . <u>600</u> 


These are the only ones to be identified at Harvard . . . . . . .
There may be many others but they haven't been discarvard.

olga55 [171]

Answer:

A). A few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back off of the thin metallic foil.

Explanation:

Scientists decided to change the model of the atom when they discovered new evidence that showed 'few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back off of the thin metallic foil.' On this ground, <u>Rutherford concluded that atom is mostly made up of empty space and thus, he proposed a nucleus model of atom in which the atom comprises of the tiny and positively charged nucleus is surrounded by electrons with a negative charge</u>. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
