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

speed of light. Relative to us on earth, what is the speed of the light moving toward us from the star?

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.

A heavy stone of mass m is hung from the ceiling by a thin 8.25-g wire that is 65.0 cm long. When you gently pluck the upper end
Triss [41]

Answer: m= 35.6 kg

Explanation:

For finding the mass of the stone we have the formula

v= \sqrt{\frac{Tension}{Linear. Mass. density} }

Here, Tension= m*g = m*9.81

and linear mass density= \frac{8.25 g}{65 cm}

Linear mass density= \frac{8.25*10^-3}{65*10^-2}

Linear mass density= 0.0127 kg/m

Velocity= 2*\frac{l}{t}

Velocity= 2 * \frac{65*10^-2}{7.84}

Velocity= 165.8 m/s

So putting all these values in equation we get

v= \sqrt{\frac{Tension}{Linear. Mass. density} }

165.8= \sqrt{\frac{m*9.81}{0.0127} }

Solving we get

m= 35.58 kg

or m= 35.6 kg

A student is considering doing a complete repeated measures design experiment involving motor skills. The student's advisor has
Lelu [443]

Answer:

<em>c. ABBA counterbalancing </em>

Explanation:

The student should not use the method because it is a progressive error management technique for each subject by introducing all <em>treatment circumstances twice, first in one sequence, then in the other (AB, BA) by subject counterbalancing.</em>

If participants experience conditions more than once, they experience the conditions first in one order, then the opposite order.

In some plants, the pistils don’t Form until a few days after the stamens do.How might this keep a plant from self pollinating
KATRIN_1 [288]

For a flower to be pollinated, pollen from an anther (which is located at the top of the stamen) needs to reach a stigma (at the top of the pistle.) Some plants are genetically capable of pollinating themselves if their own pollen reaches their own stigma; some plants are not capable of self pollination under any circumstances.

For plants that can genetically self pollinate, but would prefer not to, they can avoid this by having their pistil and pollen/stamens mature at different times. If the stamens mature first, the pollen will be dispersed by animals or wind or whatever dispersal mechanism it relies on. Then by the time the pistil is ready to be pollinated, there is no pollen left in that flower to land on the stigma.

A 60-kg rollerblader rolls 10 m down a 30? incline. When she reaches the level floor at the bottom, she applies the brakes. The
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

s = 20 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the roller blader = 60 Kg

length = 10 m

inclines at = 30°

coefficient of friction = 0.25

using conservation of energy

\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 = m g d sin \theta

u^2 = 2 g d sin30^0

u= \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 10 sin30^0}

u = 9.89 m/s

Using second law of motion  

ma =μ mg

a = μ g

a = 0.25 x 9.8

a = 2.45 m/s²

Using third equation of motion ,  

v² - u² = 2 a s

0² - 9.89² = 2 x 2.45 x s

s = 20 m

the distance moved before stopping is 20 m

In the parts that follow select whether the number presented in statement A is greater than, less than, or equal to the number p
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

a) Therefore 2.6km is greater than 2.57km.

Statement A is greater than statement B.

b) Therefore 5.7km is equal to 5.7km

Statement A is equal to statement B

Explanation:

a) Statement A : 2.567km to two significant figures.

2.567km 2. S.F = 2.6km

Statement B : 2.567km to three significant figures.

2.567km 3 S.F = 2.57km

Therefore 2.6km is greater than 2.57km.

Statement A is greater than statement B.

b) statement A: (2.567 km + 3.146km) to 2 S.F

(2.567km + 3.146km) = 5.713km to 2 S.F = 5.7km

Statement B : (2.567 km, to two significant figures) + (3.146 km, to two significant figures).

2.567km to 2 S.F = 2.6km

3.146km to 2 S.F = 3.1km

2.6km + 3.1km = 5.7km

Therefore 5.7km is equal to 5.7km

Statement A is equal to statement B
