A person on another planet shines a flashlight at you. The planet and the earth are both in the same reference frame and are not

moving relative to each other. At the same instant that the person shined the flashlight at you, a person on a spaceship passing that planet and moving toward you at 0.5 c also shined a flashlight at you. Which light pulse will reach you first?
A. the light from the person on the planet
B. the light from the flashlight on the spaceship

A man of mass 50kg ascends a flight of stairs 5m high in 5 seconds. If acceleration due to gravity is 10ms-2, the power expended
Setler79 [48]

The power expended is 500 W

Explanation:

First of all, we start by calculating the work done by the man in order to ascend: this is equal to the gravitational potential energy gained by the man, which is

W=mg\Delta h

where

m = 50 kg is the mass of the man

g=10 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\Delta h = 5 m is the change in height

Substituting,

W=(50)(10)(5)=2500 J

Now we can calculate the power expended, which is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W = 2500 J is the work done

t = 5 s is the time elapsed

Substituting, we find

P=\frac{2500}{5}=500 W

An organ pipe is open at both ends. It is producing sound
ozzi

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the wavelength of its third harmonic.

It describes that the wavelength is equivalent to

\lambda = \frac{2}{3}L

Here,

\lambda = Wavelength

The wavelength is in turn described as a function that depends on the change of the speed as a function of the frequency, that is to say

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

In this case the speed is equivalent to the speed of sound and the frequency was previously given, therefore

\lambda = \frac{343}{262}

\lambda = 1.3091m

Finally the length of the pipe would be

L= \frac{3}{2}(1.3091)

L = 1.963m

If silicic rock is found in a core sample. What evidence does this provide about the rocks location ?
frez [133]

Answer:

The rocks location is underneath an ocean or mountain

Explanation:

Silicic rock are igneous rock rich in silica. The amount of silica that constitutes a silicic rock is usually defined as at least sixty three percent. Granite and rhyolite are the most common silicic rocks found. These are found in the magma of the Earth.

Silicic is the group of silicate magmas which crystallise a relatively small proportion of ferromagnesian silicates. The main constituents of a silicic rock will be minerals rich in silica-minerals mainly.
