Answer:

Stanley Eddington confirmed the theory by his observations and inferences using the solar eclipse

Explanation:

Albert Einstein proposed a theory that energy and mass are interchangeable; termed the theory of special relativity. This can be observed when an object moves with the speed of light. The theory states that all laws in physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers.

Thus,

E = m $c^{2$

This theory could not be proven over many years, therefore it was not fully accepted.

In 1919, Stanley Eddington confirmed the theory by his observations and inferences using solar eclipse. The theory is now very accurate at any given speed when gravitational force tends to zero. This has lead to other observations to prove Einstein's theory.

A model rocket rises with constant acceleration to a height of 4.2 m, at which point its speed is 27.0 m/s. How much time does i

geniusboy [140]

Answers:

a) $t=0.311 s$

b) $a=86.847 m/s^{2}$

c) $y=1.736 m$

d) $V=17.369 m/s$

Explanation:

For this situation we will use the following equations:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}t+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ (1)

$V=V_{o} + at$ (2)

Where:

$y$ is the <u>height of the model rocket at a given time</u>

$y_{o}=0$ is the i<u>nitial height </u>of the model rocket

$V_{o}=0$ is the<u> initial velocity</u> of the model rocket since it started from rest

$V$ is the <u>velocity of the rocket at a given height and time</u>

$t$ is the <u>time</u> it takes to the model rocket to reach a certain height

$a$ is the <u>constant acceleration</u> due gravity and the rocket's thrust

<h2>a) Time it takes for the rocket to reach the height=4.2 m</h2>

The average velocity of a body moving at a constant acceleration is:

$V=\frac{V_{1}+V_{2}}{2}$ (3)

For this rocket is:

$V=\frac{27 m/s}{2}=13.5 m/s$ (4)

Time is determined by:

$t=\frac{y}{V}$ (5)

$t=\frac{4.2 m}{13.5 m/s}$ (6)

Hence:

$t=0.311 s$ (7)

<h2>b) Magnitude of the rocket's acceleration</h2>

Using equation (1), with initial height and velocity equal to zero:

$y=\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ (8)

We will use $y=4.2 m$ :

$4.2 m=\frac{1}{2}a(0.311)^{2}$ (9)

Finding $a$ :

$a=86.847 m/s^{2}$ (10)

<h2>c) Height of the rocket 0.20 s after launch</h2>

Using again $y=\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ but for $t=0.2 s$ :

$y=\frac{1}{2}(86.847 m/s^{2})(0.2 s)^{2}$ (11)

$y=1.736 m$ (12)

<h2>d) Speed of the rocket 0.20 s after launch</h2>

We will use equation (2) remembering the rocket startted from rest:

$V= at$ (13)

$V= (86.847 m/s^{2})(0.2 s)$ (14)

Finally:

$V=17.369 m/s$ (15)

A study assessing the effect of anxiety Sound intensity, I, from a spherical source is a function of the distance, r, from the source of the sound.

Everyone experiences anxiety occasionally, but persistent anxiety can reduce your quality of life. Though likely best known for altering behavior, worry can have negative effects on our physical spherical. Anxiety speeds up our heartbeat and breathing, concentrating blood flow to the parts of our brains that need it. You are spherical ready for a challenging situation by having this extremely bodily reaction. Test performance may be impacted by anxiety. According to studies, spherical with low levels of test anxiety perform better on multiple-choice question (MCQ) exams than pupils with high levels of anxiety. Studies have indicated that female students have greater levels of test anxiety than male students.
