The speed of the space craft relative to the earth is given as: 0.024c. This is solved using the the equation for time dilation.

<h3>What is time dilation?</h3>

Time dilation is the "slowing down" of a clock as determined by an observer in relative motion with regard to that clock under the theory of special relativity.

The formula is given as :

Δt = [Δr]/ √ 1 - (v²/c²)

Thus,

v = c√1 - (Δr/Δt)²

= c √(1 - (3600/3601)²

v = 0.024c

Which statement describes the relationship between energy and entropy in the universe?
rusak2 [61]

In fact, entropy of an isolated system never decreases (2nd law of thermodynamics), unless some external energy is provided in order to "restore" order in the system and decrease its entropy.

(note that when external energy is added to the system, it is no longer "isolated").


*This is only true if the question is referring to a certain system within the universe. If we are considering the universe itself as the system, then this option is no longer correct, because no external energy can be provided to the universe, and since the universe is an isolated system, its entropy can never decrease. If we are considering the universe itself as the system, none of the options is true.

An advanced computer sends information to its various parts via infrared light pulses traveling through silicon fibers (n = 3.50
sasho [114]

Answer:

d = 6.43 cm

Explanation:

Given:

- Speed resistance coefficient in silicon n = 3.50

- Memory takes processing time t_p = 0.50 ns

- Information is to be obtained within T = 2.0 ns

Find:

- What is the maximum distance the memory unit can be from the central processing unit?

Solution:

- The amount of time taken for information pulse to travel to memory unit:

                            t_m = T - t_p

                            t_m = 2.0 - 0.5 = 1.5 ns

- We will use a basic relationship for distance traveled with respect to speed of light and time:

                           d = V*t_m

- Where speed of light in silicon medium is given by:

                           V = c / n

- Hence,              d = c*t_m / n

-Evaluate:           d = 3*10^8*1.5*10^-9 / 3.50

                           d = 0.129 m 12.9 cm

- The above is the distance for pulse going to and fro the memory and central unit. So the distance between the two is actually d / 2 = 6.43 cm

Rebecca heated 50mL of water from 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius. How much energy did she use to heat the water? Rememb
kramer

Answer:

12552 J or 3000 calories

Explanation:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = amount of heat energy (J)

m = mass of water (g)

c = specific heat capacity (4.184 J/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature

For 50mL of water, there are 50g, hence, m = 50g, c = 4.184 J/g°C, initial temperature = 0°C, final temperature = 60°C.

Q = m × c × ∆T

Q = 50 × 4.184 × (60 - 0)

Q = 209.2 × 60

Q = 12552 J

Hence, the amount of heat energy used to heat the water is 12552 J or 3000 calories
