A spacecraft is moving past the earth at a constant speed of 0.60 times the speed of light. The astronaut measures the time inte

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

the time interval that an earth observer measures is 4 seconds

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

speed of the spacecraft as it moves past the is 0.6 times the speed of light

we know that speed of light c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

so speed of spacecraft v = 0.6 × c = 0.6c

time interval between ticks of the spacecraft clock Δt₀ = 3.2 seconds

Now, from time dilation;

t = Δt₀ / √( 1 - ( v² / c² ) )

t = Δt₀ / √( 1 - ( v/c )² )

we substitute

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - ( 0.6c / c )² )

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - ( 0.6 )² )

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - 0.36 )

t = 3.2 / √0.64

t = 3.2 / 0.8

t = 4 seconds

Therefore, the time interval that an earth observer measures is 4 seconds

A meter stick moves parallel to its axis with speed of 0.96 c relative to you. What would you measure for the length of the stic

Fed [463]

Answer:

The length of the stick is 0.28 m.

The time the stick take to move is 0.97 ns.

Explanation:

Given that,

Relative speed of stick v= 0.96 c

Speed of light $c= 2.99793\times10^{8}\ m/s$

Proper length of stick = 1 m

We need to calculate the length of the stick

Using formula of length

$\Delta l=\Delta l_{0}\sqrt{(1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2})}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta l=1\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.96)^2c^2}{c^2}}$

$\Delta l=1\sqrt{1-(0.96)^2}$

$\Delta l=0.28\ m$

We need to calculate the time the stick take to move

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{\Delta l}{v}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{0.28}{0.96\times(2.99793\times10^{8})}$

$t=9.72\times10^{-10}\ sec$

$t=0.97\ ns$

Hence, The length of the stick is 0.28 m.

The time the stick take to move is 0.97 ns.

5. From the definition of work, explain why only the vertical height of the stairs is measured. Hint: Think of the data table co

natulia [17]

The motivation behind why the vertical stature of the stairs is the main thing measured is that it uncovers to us how much gravity is up against the individual and their weight, so we require this data to decide how much vitality and power we have to get up the stairs.

local AM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 685.9 kHz. Calculate the wavelength at which they are broadcasting. Waveleng

natta225 [31]

Answer:

λ = 437 m.

Explanation:

Since a radio wave is a electromagnetic type of wave, it propagates approximately at the same speed of light in vacuum, 3*10⁸ m/s.
As in any wave, there exist a fixed relationship between the propagation speed, the wavelength and the frequency of the radio wave, as follows:

$c = \lambda* f (1)$

Replacing by the values of the speed and the frequency, and solving for the wavelength λ, we get:

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f} =\frac{3e8 m/s}{685.9e31/s} =437 m (2)$

Light from a fluorescent lamp is observed through a cloud of cool nitrogen gas. Again, two students are having a discussion abou

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

From the previous explanation Student No. 1 has the correct explanation

Explanation:

When the fluorescent lamp emits a light it has the shape of its emission spectrum, this light collides with the atoms of Nitrogen and excites it, so these wavelengths disappear, lacking in the spectrum seen by the observed, for which we would see an absorption spectrum

The nitrogen that was exited after a short time is given away in its emission lines, in general there are many lines, so the excitation energy is divided between the different emission lines, which must be weak
