Slav-nsk [51]

(B) 1.00 m

Explanation:

Since the meter stick is traveling with Jill, it will have the same speed as she does so relative to Jill, the meter stick is stationary so its length remains 1.00 m as measured by her.

2. What is the difference between special relativity and general relativity? Briefly describe each theory and cite one piece of
Natali [406]
<span>The Special (as in Limited) Theory of Relativity, is a simplification of the General Theory of Relativity.

Essentially, if you eliminate acceleration, and any significant mass from the General Theory, you get the Special Theory.

Evidence for Special Relativity (solar moons for example), is also evidence for the General Theory. The General Theory is supported by:
- Universal expansion
- the spin down of binary pulsars
- frame dragging
- gravitational lensing
- gravitational time dilation</span><span> </span>

Why do we generally hear a thunder when there is a Bolt of lightning
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a lightning bolt travels from the cloud to the ground it actually opens up a little hole in the air, called a channel. Once then light is gone the air collapses back in and creates a sound wave that we hear as thunder. The reason we see lightning before we hear thunder is because light travels faster than sound!

The distance from earth to the center of our galaxy is about 27,000 ly (1 ly = 1 light year = 9.47 × 10^15 m), as measured by an
kompoz [17]

Answer:

The time is 1206 years.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 27000 ly

1\ ly =9.47\times10^{15}\ m

Speed = 0.9990c

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of speed

v = \dfrac{d}{t}

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

Put the value into the formula

t =\dfrac{27000\times9.47\times10^{15}}{3\times10^{8}}

t=8.523\times10^{11}\ sec

We need to calculate the time dilation the clock on the spaceship

Using formula of dilation time

t'=t\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}

t'=8.523\times10^{11}\times\sqrt{1-\dfrac{( 0.9990c)^2}{c^2}}

t'=8.523\times10^{11}\times\sqrt{1-(0.9990)^2}

t'=3.8106\times10^{10}\ sec

The time convert in years

We know that,

1\ yr= 3.16\times10^{7}\ sec

So, the time is

t'=\dfrac{3.8106\times10^{10}}{3.16\times10^{7}}

t'=1206\ years

Hence, The time is 1206 years.

If the speed of light is 3.0 × 108 m/s2, then how much energy would be released if a 23.7 gram object is converted to pure energ
elena55 [62]

7.11x 10⁶J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of light  = 3 x 10⁸m/s

Mass of object = 23.7g = 0.0237kg

Unknown:

Energy = ?

Solution:

From Einstein's equation, we see that mass and energy are equivalent using the expression below:

                                  E = mc²

Substituting the parameters:

                 E = 3 x 10⁸ x 0.0237 = 7.11x 10⁶J
