Imagine that a relativistic train travels past your lecture room at a speed of 0.894 c. The passengers of the train claim that w

hen they measure the length of the train using standard meter bars found on the train, the length comes out to be 90.6 m. What would be the length of the train in the frame of the lecture room, if you measured it?

Answer:

The length of the train in the frame of the lecture room is 40.59 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 0.894 c

Original length = 90.6 m

We need to calculate the length of the train in the frame of the lecture room

Using formula of length contraction

L=L_{0}\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{v}{c})^2}

Where, L_{0}=original length

v = speed of train

Put the value into the formula

L=90.6\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{0.894c}{c})^2}

L=90.6\sqrt{1-0.894^2}

L=40.59\ m

Hence, The length of the train in the frame of the lecture room is 40.59 m.

Near the surface of Earth an electric field points radially downward and has a magnitude of approximately 100 N/C. What charge (
pentagon [3]

Answer:

q=2.997\times 10^{-4}C

Sign-Negative

Explanation:

We are given that

Electric field =E=100NC^{-1} (Radially downward)

Acceleration=0.19 ms^{-2}(Upward)

Mass of charge=3 g=3\times 10^{-3}kg

1kg=1000g

We have to find the magnitude and sign of  charge would have to be placed on a penny .

By newton's second law

\sum F_y=ma

\sum F_y=qE-mg

Substitute the values then we get

qE-mg=ma

Substitute the values then we get

q(100)-3\times 10^{-3}(9.8)=3\times 10^{-3}(0.19)

100q-29.4\times 10^{-3}=0.57\times 10^{-3}

100q=0.57\times 10^{-3}+29.4\times 10^{-3}=29.97\times 10^{-3}

q=\frac{29.97\times 10^{-3}}{100}

q=2.997\times 10^{-4}C

Sign of charge =Negative

Because electric force acting  in opposite direction of electric field therefore,charge on penny will be negative.

If there is no oxygen in outer space, and, at the same time, oxygen must be present for fire, where does the sun come from?​
victus00 [196]

The sun is a huge ball of gas held together by gravity.

It does not burn the way wood does, due to oxygen, but it gets energy by a process called nuclear fusion, where Hydrogen is converted to Helium.

The sun will cease to "burn" when it runs out of Hydrogen, but that has a long way to go.
