The correct value for the rocket speed measured by an observer on earth would be = 14c

<h3>Calculation and of the rocket speed</h3>

To calculate the speed of the rocket we should observe that the rocket and the missile are in a relative motion which are moving on the same direction.

The speed of the rocket = 12c

The speed of the missile = 12c

The individual speed of earth =0c

But, the relative speed of the missile and the Earth is the sum of individual speeds.

Thus, the speed of rocket as measured by an observer on the Earth would be 0 + 14c = 14c.

Therefore, the correct value for the rocket speed measured by an observer on earth would be =14c

A periodic wave has a wavelength of 0,50 m and a speed of 20 m/s, What is the wave frequency?
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

u=speed, w=wavelenght, f=frequency

It's known that u=w*f =>  f=u/w

                                       u=20m/s     ==>  f=20/0,5  => f=40 Hz

                                       w=0,50m

A materials density is the same , no matter how large or small the sample is or what it’s shape is as long as it is solid unifor
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

Density is defined as the relationship between mass and volume, i.e. the following equation can be used:

density = m/v

where:

density [kg/m^3]

m = mass [kg]

v = volume [m^3]

If we change the volume of a body by reducing its size, its mass will also decrease proportionally with a density as seen in the equation.

m = density*v

To understand this concept more clearly, let's use the following example:

We know that the density of water is equal to 1000 [kg/m^3], that is, 1 cubic meter of water contains 1000 kilograms of water, using the equation.

1000 = m /1

m = 1000*1 = 1000 [kg]

Now if we have 500 kilograms of water, that would pass with the volume so that the density remains constant.

1000 = 500/v

v = 500/1000

v = 0.5 [m^3]

We can see that the volume of water has halved. Since the mass of water was reduced by half. That is, the relationship between mass and volume is proportional to the density of the material or substance.
