How fast does a rocket ship have to go for its length to be contracted to 99% of its rest length?

Physics

DaniilM [7]3 years ago

Answer:

4.2×10⁷ m/s

Explanation:

L = length observed by an observer

L₀ = Proper length

v = Velocity of the rocket ship

Length contraction formula

L=L_{0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}\\\Rightarrow 0.99=1{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{0.99}{1}={\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}\\\Rightarrow 0.99^2=1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}\\\Rightarrow 0.99^2-1=-\frac{v^2}{c^2}\\\Rightarrow 0.0199\times c^2=v^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{0.0199}c=v\\\Rightarrow v =\sqrt{0.0199}\times 3\times 10^8\\\Rightarrow v=4.2\times 10^7\ m/s

The speed of the ship would be 4.2×10⁷ m/s

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Commutator is a ring which reverse the direction of current in AC circuit so that the coil connected to it will continuous to move in the same direction.

Explanation:

In motors there exist a coil which is rotated due to torque of magnetic field when current flow through it. Since AC current is used to run the motor so we know that AC current changes its direction after half cycle.

So here commutator plays an important role to reverse the direction of current after every half cycle so that the current goes in same direction always into the coil.

This will produce a constant direction torque on the coil so that it will rotate in same sense always.

So commutator role is to provide same direction current to the coil by reversing its direction after every half cycle

In the diagram below, what is the potential difference across the 3.0-ohm resistor?
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

3V

Explanation:

From the question given above, we can see clearly that the resistors are arranged in parallel connection. Hence, the same voltage will pass through the resistors i.e

Total voltage = voltage of 3 Ω = voltage of 6 Ω

From the question given above,

The total voltage = 3 V

Therefore,

Voltage of 3 Ω = total voltage

Voltage of 3 Ω = 3V

Thus, option 3 gives the correct answer to the question.
