Answer:
This equation is based on twin paradox - a phenomena where one of the twin travels to space at a speed close to speed of light and the other remains on earth. the twin from the space on return discovers that the one on earth age faster.
Solution:
= 10 years
v = 0.8c
c = speed of light in vacuum
The problem can be solved by time dilation equation:
(1)
where,
t = time observed from a different inertial frame
Now, using eqn (1), we get:
t = 16.67 years
The age of the twin on spaceship according to the one on earth = 25+16.67 =41.66 years
Answer:
The false statement is in option 'd': The center of mass of an object must lie within the object.
Explanation:
Center of mass is a theoretical point in a system of particles where the whole mass of the system is assumed to be concentrated.
Mathematically the position vector of center of mass is defined as
where,
is the position vector of the mass dm.
As we can see for homogenous symmetrical objects such as a sphere,cube,disc the center of mass is located at the centroid of the shapes itself but in many shapes it is located outside the body also.
Examples of shapes in which center of mass is located outside the body:
1) Horseshoe shaped body.
2) A thin ring.
In many cases we can make shapes of bodies whose center of mass lies outside the body.
Answer:
<em>The average speed of the train is 45 km/h</em>
Explanation:
<u>Speed</u>
It's defined as the distance (d) per unit of time (t) traveled by an object. The formula is:
Let's call x the total distance covered by the train. It covered d1=1/3x with a speed of v1=25 km/h. The time taken is calculated solving for t:
Now the rest of the distance:
d2 = x - 1/3x = 2/3x
Was covered at v2=75 km/h. Thus the time taken is:
The total time is:
Simplifying:
The average speed is the total distance divided by the total time:
Simplifying:
The average speed of the train is 45 km/h
