The speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.

A light-year measures distance rather than time (as the name might imply). A light-year is a distance a light beam travels in one year on Earth, which is roughly 6 trillion miles (9.7 trillion kilometers). One light-year equals 5,878,625,370,000 miles. Light moves at a speed of 670,616,629 mph (1,079,252,849 km/h) in a vacuum.We multiply this speed by the number of hours in a year to calculate the distance of a light-year (8,766).

The Milky way galaxy is 100,000 light years in diameter.

The galaxy's diameter is a mere 1. 0 ly.

We know that ;

L = L_0 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

L = 1 light year

L₀ = 100,000 light year

1 = 100,000 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

1 = 100,000 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{(3*10^8)^2} }

\frac{1}{100,000}  = \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

v = 0.999999995 c

Therefore, the speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.

Chapter 16, Problem 63. A person is standing in a room at 18 ◦C. The exposed surface area and skin temperature of the person are
Juliette [100K]

Answer:Q=248.011 W

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of Room T_{\infty }=18^{\circ}\approx 291 K

Area of Person A=1.7 m^2

Temperature of skin T=32^{\circ}\approx 305 K

Heat transfer coefficient h=5 W/m^2.k

Emissivity of the skin and clothes \epsilon =0.9

\Delta T=32-18=14^{\circ}

Total rate of heat transfer=heat Transfer due to Radiation +heat transfer through convection

Heat transfer due radiation Q_1=\epsilon \sigma A(T^4-T_{\infty }^4 )

where \sigma =stefan-boltzman\ constant

Q_1=0.9\times 5.687\times 10^{-8}\times 1.7\times (305^4-291^4)

Q_1=129.01 W

Heat Transfer due to convection is given by

Q_2=hA(\Delta T)

Q_2=5\times 1.7\times 14=119 W

Q=Q_1+Q_2

Q=129.01+119=248.011 W

A professor, with dumbbells in his hands and holding his arms out, is spinning on a turntable with an angular velocity. What hap
Olenka [21]

Answer:

<em>His angular velocity will increase.</em>

Explanation:

According to the conservation of rotational momentum, the initial angular momentum of a system must be equal to the final angular momentum of the system.

The angular momentum of a system = I'ω'

where

I' is the initial rotational inertia

ω' is the initial angular velocity

the rotational inertia = mr'^{2}

where m is the mass of the system

and r' is the initial radius of rotation

Note that the professor does not change his position about the axis of rotation, so we are working relative to the dumbbells.

we can see that with the mass of the dumbbells remaining constant, if we reduce the radius of rotation of the dumbbells to r, the rotational inertia will reduce to I.

From

I'ω' = Iω

since I is now reduced, ω will be greater than ω'

therefore, the angular velocity increases.

A ball is falling at terminal velocity. Terminal velocity occurs when the ball is in equilibrium and the forces are balanced. Wh
Greeley [361]

Answer:

A free body diagram with 2 forces: the first pointing downward labeled F Subscript g Baseline 20 N and the second pointing upward labeled F Subscript air Baseline 20 N.

Explanation:

This is because at terminal velocity, the ball stops accelerating and the net force on the ball is zero. For the net force to be zero, equal and opposite forces must act on the ball, so that their resultant force is zero. That is F₁ + F₂ = 0 ⇒ F₁ = -F₂

Since F₁ = 20 N, then F₂ = -F₁ = -20 N

So, if F₁ points upwards since it is positive, then F₂ points downwards since it is negative.

So, a free body diagram with 2 forces: the first pointing downward labeled F Subscript g Baseline 20 N and the second pointing upward labeled F Subscript air Baseline 20 N best describes the ball falling at terminal velocity.

Answer:
They are both wrong!

Liquid oxygen really is a pale blue color.
I’ve seen it.

And they cant say that liquid and solid oxygen is blue which makes the sky blue because they’re not and it doesn’t make up for the color of the sky.

The sky is actually blue because It reflects more light than It can absorb
aka Rayleigh Scattering.

The level of mercury falls in a barometer<br>while taking it to a mountain.​
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

This is due to a relative decrease in atmospheric pressure in high places.

Explanation:

Given that atmospheric pressure decreases at the higher point or ground, this reduced atmospheric pressure, however, will be unable to contain the Mercury in the barometer tube.

Therefore, at the top of the mountain where the air pressure is low, the barometer reading ultimately goes down.

Hence, the level of mercury falls in a barometer while taking it to a mountain "due to a relative decrease in atmospheric pressure in high places."
