Problem 2
Answer: Choice D only
Explanation:
Let's go through the list of possible answers
- A) She only would feel a force pulling her toward the chair, hence making her feel heavier, only when the space ship is accelerating faster. In this case, she is moving a constant speed of 0.5c (aka half the speed of light). Despite going this fast, she is moving at a constant speed and therefore not accelerating at this current time. The speed isn't changing. Therefore, she would not feel a force pushing her into the chair. Choice A is off the list.
- B) This is also off the list as well. The lack of accelerating force means her lungs aren't compressed and breathing should be normal. This is assuming she doesn't have any medical conditions hindering her breathing. We can cross choice B off the list.
- C) This is similar to choice B. We can cross it off the list.
- D) The faster you go, the more time dilation will occur. This effectively compresses time and makes it slow down. The more detailed explanation involves relativity which is very complicated. Therefore, choice D is the answer.
- E) This is false because choice D was mentioned to be true.
Answer: 1) It keeps us on the earth so that we can live on the earth and not flying someone else in the atmosphere and space. 2) It maintains the motion of motion of all the planets around the sun and moon around the earth. 3) It pulls all the object towards the earth. 4) The flowing of water in the rivers and seas.
Explanation:
In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate. Meaning that the 100 kg ball will fall at the same speed as the 10 kg ball. Assuming that both objects share the same starting acceleration, they will keep that acceleration until the fall is stopped.
In other words, your answer is the first one, Both objects will accelerate at 9.8 m/s
