rate is negligible.

Total time elapsed is =8.2y

The starting event is the astronaut leaving Earth. The finishing event is the astronaut arriving at the star system. The time between these events on Earth is:

Δt=3.9ly/0.9c

Δt=4.3y

For the astronaut, two events occur at the same position and can be measured with just one clock. Hence,

Δτ

$= \sqrt{1 - \frac{v {}^{2} }{c {}^{2} } } \times Δt$

Δτ

$= \sqrt{1 - ( \frac{0.9c}{c} ) {}^{2} } \times (4.3y)$

Δτ=1.8ly

The total elapsed time is:

T elapsed=Δt+3.9

T elapsed=4.3+3.9

T elapsed=8.2y

A child throws a ball with an initial speed of 8.00 m/s at an angle of 40.0° above the horizontal. The ball leaves her hand 1.00

vivado [14]

Answer:

7.5 m

Explanation:

$v$ = initial speed of the ball = 8 m/s

$\theta$ = angle of launch = 40° deg

Consider the motion along the vertical direction :

$v_{oy}$ = initial velocity along vertical direction = $v Sin\theta$ = 8 Sin40 = 5.14 m/s

$a_{y}$ = acceleration along vertical direction = - 9.8 m/s²

$t$ = time of travel

$y$ = vertical displacement = - 1 m

Using the kinematics equation

$y = v_{oy}t + (0.5)a_{y}t^{2}$

$- 1 = (5.14)t + (0.5)(- 9.8)t^{2$

$t$ = 1.22 sec

Consider the motion along the horizontal direction :

$v_{ox}$ = initial velocity along horizontal direction = $v Sin\theta$ = 8 Cos40 = 6.13 m/s

$a_{x}$ = acceleration along vertical direction = 0 m/s²

$t$ = time of travel = 1.22 sec

$x$ = horizontal displacement = ?

Using the kinematics equation

$x = v_{ox}t + (0.5)a_{x}t^{2}$

$x = (6.13)(1.22) + (0.5)(0)(1.22)^{2$

$x$ = 7.5 m

What does physical education mean

lilavasa [31]

Physical education is when you are taught about your body and the physical things you can do to keep it healthy. You are taught how to do exercises to keep healthy and what foods you should eat. Physical education means to be educated about your physical abilities and health.

Joey, whose mass is m = 36 kg, stands at rest at the outer edge of a frictionless merry-go-round with the mass M = 300 kg and th

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

$\omega=0.24\ rad.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of person, $m=36\ kg$

mass of merry go-round, $M=300\ kg$

radius of merry go-round, $R=2\ m$

velocity of the person running, $v=4\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>We consider merry go-round as a ring:</u>

Now the moment of inertial of the ring is given as,

$I=M.R^2$

$I=300\times 2^2$

$I=1200\ kg.m^{-2}$

<u>Moment of inertia of the person considering as a point mass:</u>

$I_p=m.R^2$

$I_p=36\times 2^2$

$I_p=144\ kg.m^2$

<u>Now according to the conservation of angular momentum:</u>

$I.\omega=I_p.\omega_p$

where:

$\omega =$ angular velocity of the merry-go-round

$\omega_p=$ angular velocity of the person running

$1200\times \omega=144\times \frac{v}{R}$

$\omega=\frac{144}{1200} \times \frac{4}{2}$

$\omega=0.24\ rad.s^{-1}$
