a spaceship, at rest in a certain reference frame s, is given a speed increment of 0.500c. it is then given a further 0.500c inc

rement in this new frame, and this process is continued until its speed with respect to its original frame s exceeds 0.999c. how many increments does it require?

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

What type of heat do we get from sun
seraphim [82]
The type of heat that the Sun emits is called UV (Ultra Violet) rays. This is a natural type of heat, but it can also be dangerous if you expose yourself to too much UV heat, causing "sunburns", or even skin cancer.

What is the melting point of substance A?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Solids are easily recognized by their ability to retain a fixed shape and definite volume. Particles making

up a solid are held together in a rigid form. They are not free to move about or slide past one another and

the solid does not have the ability to flow. (Although the particles of a solid do not move position to position, they do have motion in that they are constantly vibrating.

To change the temperature of a solid, heat energy must be added. The amount of heat energy that changes

the temperature of 1.0 g of a solid by 1.0°C is called its specific heat (c). Each substance has its own

specific heat. The specific heat of ice is 2.1 Joules/g°C. In other words we must supply 1.0 gram of ice

with 2.1 Joules of heat energy to raise its temperature by 1.0 °C.

The general equation for calculating heat energy to change the temperature of a solid is:

Heat = Mass x Specific Heat (solid) x Temperature Change

Q = m c DT

10 g 10 g 10 g 10 g 10 g 10 g

Calculate the heat necessary to change 10 g of ice(s) at -20 °C to 10 g of ice(s) at 0°C. (A-B)

Q = mc∆T = (10 g) (2.1 J/g°C) (20°C) = 420 J

If you continue to add heat energy once the temperature of the ice reaches 0°C , the heat absorbed is called

the heat of fusion (Lf). This heat is used to cause a change of phase (from a solid to a liquid). This heat is

increasing the potential energy of the molecules of the solid. No temperature change takes place. Each

substance has its own heat of fusion. The heat of fusion for ice is 340 Joules/g. Exactly the same amount

of heat is given up when 1.0 g of water is changed to ice. This heat is called the heat of crystallization.

The general equation for calculating heat energy to change a solid to a liquid is:

Heat = Mass x Heat of Fusion

Q = m Lf

Calculate the heat necessary to change 10 g of ice(s) at 0°C to 10 g of water(l) at 0°C.(B-C)

Explanation:

Q = mLf = (10 g)( 340 J/g) = 3400 J

If a current is two amps and the resistance is 3 ohms, how much voltage was needed?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

6 V

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage in the circuit

R is the resistance

I is the current

In this problem, we know the current, I=2 A, and the resistance, R=3 \Omega, therefore we can find the voltage in the circuit:

V=RI=(3 \Omega )(2 A)=6 V

A ball is dropped from rest at the top of a 6.10 m
natita [175]

Answer:

n = 5 approx

Explanation:

If v be the velocity before the contact with the ground and v₁ be the velocity of bouncing back

\frac{v_1}{v} = e ( coefficient of restitution ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{10} }

and

\frac{v_1}{v} = \sqrt{\frac{h_1}{6.1} }

h₁ is height up-to which the ball bounces back after first bounce.

From the two equations we can write that

e = \sqrt{\frac{h_1}{6.1} }

e = \sqrt{\frac{h_2}{h_1} }

So on

e^n = \sqrt{\frac{h_1}{6.1} }\times \sqrt{\frac{h_2}{h_1} }\times... \sqrt{\frac{h_n}{h_{n-1} }

(\frac{1}{\sqrt{10} })^n=\frac{2.38}{6.1}= .00396

Taking log on both sides

- n / 2 = log .00396

n / 2 = 2.4

n = 5 approx
