Answer:
Einstein extended the rules of Newton for high speeds. For applications of mechanics at low speeds, Newtonian ideas are almost equal to reality. That is the reason we use Newtonian mechanics in practice at low speeds.
Explanation:
<em>But on a conceptual level, Einstein did prove Newtonian ideas quite wrong in some cases, e.g. the relativity of simultaneity. But again, in calculations, Newtonian ideas give pretty close to correct answer in low-speed regimes. So, the numerical validity of Newtonian laws in those regimes is something that no one can ever prove completely wrong - because they have been proven correct experimentally to a good approximation.</em>
Answer:
(A) 10052.2 m/s²
(B) 0.00678 seconds
Explanation:
From the question,
(A) Applying
V² = U²+2as..................... Equation 1
Where V = Final velocity, U = Initial velocity, a = acceleration due to gravity, s = distance.
make a the subject of the equation
a = (V²-U²)/2s........................ Equation 2
Given: U = 0 m/s( from rest), V = 68 m/s, s = 0.230 m
Substitute these values into equation 2
a = (68²-0²)/(2×0.230)
a = 10052.2 m/s²
(B) Using,
a = (V-U)/t......................... Equation 3
Where t= time.
make t the subject of the equation
t = (V-U)/a......................... Equation 4
Given: V = 68 m/s, U = 0 m/s, a = 10052.2
Substitute into equation 4
t = (68-0)/10052.2
t = 0.00678 seconds
The speed of the space craft relative to the earth is given as: 0.024c. This is solved using the the equation for time dilation.
<h3>
What is time dilation?</h3>
Time dilation is the "slowing down" of a clock as determined by an observer in relative motion with regard to that clock under the theory of special relativity.
The formula is given as :
Δt = [Δr]/ √ 1 - (v²/c²)
Thus,
v = c√1 - (Δr/Δt)²
= c √(1 - (3600/3601)²
v = 0.024c
