MrMuchimi

Answer: $37^{\circ}$ North of west

Explanation:

Given

40,000-ton luxury line traveling 20 knots towards west and

60,000 ton freighter traveling towards North with 10 knots

suppose v is the common velocity after collision

conserving momentum in west direction

$20\times 40,000=(20,000+60,000)v\cos \theta$

suppose the final velocity makes \theta angle with x axis

$v\cos \theta =10----1$

Conserving Momentum in North direction

$10\times 60,000=80,000\times v\sin\theta$

$v\sin \theta =\frac{15}{2}----2$

divide 1 and 2

$\tan \theta =\frac{3}{4}$

$\theta =37^{\circ}$

so search in the area $37^{\circ}$ North of west to find the ship

A yet-to-be-built spacecraft starts from Earth moving at constant speed to the yet-tobe-discovered planet Retah, which is 20 lig

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The time elapsed at the spacecraft’s frame is less that the time elapsed at earth's frame

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance between earth and Retah is $d = 20 \ light \ hours = 20 * 3600 * c = 72000c \ m$

Here c is the peed of light with value $c = 3.0*10^8 m/s$

The time taken to reach Retah from earth is $t = 25 \ hours = 25 * 3600 =90000 \ sec$

The velocity of the spacecraft is mathematically evaluated as

$v_s = \frac{d }{t}$

substituting values

$v_s = \frac{72000 * 3.0*10^{8} }{90000}$

$v_s = 2.40*10^{8} \ m/s$

The time elapsed in the spacecraft’s frame is mathematically evaluated as

$T = t * \sqrt{ 1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

substituting value

$T = 90000 * \sqrt{ 1 - \frac{[2.4*10^{8}]^2}{[3.0*10^{8}]^2} }$

$T = 54000 \ s$

=> $T = 15 \ hours$

So The time elapsed at the spacecraft’s frame is less that the time elapsed at earth's frame
