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 baton twirler has a baton of length 0.36 m with masses of 0.48 kg at each end. Assume the rod itself is massless. The rod is f

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Part a)

When rotated about the mid point

$\tau = 0.021Nm$

Part b)

When rotated about its one end

$\tau = 0.042 Nm$

Explanation:

As we know that the angular acceleration of the rod is rate of change in angular speed

so we will have

$\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}$

$\alpha = \frac{2.4 - 0}{3.6}$

$\alpha = 0.67 rad/s^2$

Part a)

When rotated about the mid point

$I = 2mr^2$

$I = 2(0.48)(0.18)^2$

$I = 0.0311 kg m^2$

now torque is given as

$\tau = 0.0311 (0.67)$

$\tau = 0.021Nm$

Part b)

When rotated about its one end

$I = m(2r)^2$

$I = (0.48)(0.36)^2$

$I = 0.0622 kg m^2$

now torque is given as

$\tau = (0.0622)(0.67)$

$\tau = 0.042 Nm$

In what ways are directions slightly distorted on the gore map

Bezzdna [24]

Distorted maps attempt a compromise, cutting the terrestrial surface along some arbitrarily chosen lines, then projecting each lobe (or gore, in case of interruptions, repeat periodically along related lines like meridians), separately with lower overall deformation. Gore boundaries are often designed to fall on less important areas, like oceans.

What is the formula for finding your maximum heart rate

olasank [31]

According to the American Heart Association, the broad,
approximate guideline for your MAXIMUM heart rate is:

   -- take 220
   -- subtract your age
   The unit is "beats per minute".

But there are many things that have an effect on this number.
A few of them are:
-- your age
-- your weight
-- any medicines you're taking
-- HOW you measure your heart rate.

If you're planning any REGULAR activity that will play with
your heart rate, you really ought to discuss it with your doctor
before you jump in.
