In order to give a spaceship at rest in a specific reference frame s a speed increment of 0.500c, seven increments are required. Then, in this new frame, it receives an additional 0.500c increment.

The speed of an object, also known as v in kinematics, is a scalar quantity that refers to the size of the change in that object's position over time or the size of the change in that object's position per unit of time. The distance travelled by an object in a certain period of time divided by the length of the period gives the object's average speed in that period.

The spacecraft moves at v1 = 0.5c after the initial increment.The equation becomes V2 = V+V1/1+V*V1/c after the second one. 2 V2 = 0.5c+0.50c/1+(0.50c)^2/c^ 2 = 0.80c

Likewise, V3 = 0.929c

V4 = 0.976c

V5 = 0.992c

V6 = 0.99c

V7 = 0.999c

According to the "Law of Increasing Opportunity Costs," what would be the opportunity cost of a student who is staying up all ni
kodGreya [7K]

C. The opportunity cost of a student who is staying up all night to study for an exam that he has to take in the early morning is sleep or rest.

<h3>What is law of opportunity cost?</h3>

The law of increasing opportunity cost is an economic principle that describes how opportunity costs increase as resources are applied.

As the student gives up his sleep or night rest in the place of his exam preparation, we say that the opportunity cost is the sleep or rest.

Thus, the opportunity cost of a student who is staying up all night to study for an exam that he has to take in the early morning is sleep or rest.

Suppose you illuminate two thin slits by monochromatic coherent light in air and find that they produce their first interference
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

1.7323

Explanation:

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to refractive indices and Snell's law.

From the data given we have to:

n_{air}=1

\theta_{liquid} = 19.38\°

\theta_{air}35.09\°

Where n means the index of refraction.

We need to calculate the index of refraction of the liquid, then applying Snell's law we have:

n_1sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2

n_{air}sin\theta_{air} = n_{liquid}sin\theta_{liquid}

n_{liquid} = \frac{n_{air}sin\theta_{air}}{sin\theta_{liquid}}

Replacing the values we have:

n_{liquid}=\frac{(1)sin(35.09)}{sin(19.38)}

n_liquid = 1.7323

Therefore the refractive index for the liquid is 1.7323

The Hoover dam is a hydroelectric power plant that converts the energy of falling water into electricity. Which of the following
vlabodo [156]

The correct answer to the question is : B) The weight of the water, and C) The height of the water.

EXPLANATION :

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand potential energy of a body.

The potential energy of a body due to its position from ground is known as gravitational potential energy.

The gravitational potential energy is calculated as -

                      Potential energy P.E = mgh

 Here, m is the mass of the body, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

h stands for the height of the body from the ground.

We know that weight of a body is equal to the product of mass with acceleration due to gravity.

Hence, weight W = mg

Hence, potential energy is written as P.E = weight × height.

Hence, potential energy depends on the weight and height of the water.

Derived eqation motion​
N76 [4]

Answer:

As we have already discussed earlier, motion is the state of change in position of an object over time. It is described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, time and speed. Jogging, driving a car, and even simply taking a walk are all everyday examples of motion. The relations between these quantities are known as the equations of motion.
