What is meant by absolute time? Why was it not noticed before the development of the special theory of relativity?

In kinematics, motion equations are derived using the time interval, Δt, between events. Before the concept of special theory of relativity came to be, everyone thought that the time interval, Δt, is the same for every observer, whether the observer is at rest or in motion. This is called absolute time.

However, according to Einstein, time is not absolute; that is, the time interval, Δt, depends upon the velocity of the observer

<span>Absolute time is placing a number on an object or event. It would be like saying this fossil is 500,000,000 millions years old or a volcanic eruption took place 200,000 years ago. Absolute time is expressed in numbers.

<span>Newton's assumptions were perfectly rational, considering the prevailing knowledge at the time he lived. His conclusions were absolutely revolutionary, and his work is still used on a daily basis by engineers designing everything from skateboards to spacecraft. </span>

A lacrosse ball leaves the sick horizontally at 12.0m/s. the catcher is 14.0 away. How much does the ball fall vertically travel
boyakko [2]

Answer:

1.65 m

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is a projectile motion, so it is a parabolic motion with two independent motions:

- on the x-axis, a uniform motion with constant speed v_x=12.0 m/s

- on the y-axis, a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration a=9.8 m/s^2 downward.

First of all, we need to find the time t at which the ball has travelled halfway to the chatcher, i.e. at a distance of x=14.0/2=7.0 m. This can be found by using the relationship between distance, time and velocity along the horizontal direction:

t=\frac{x}{v_x}=\frac{7.0 m}{12.0 m/s}=0.58 s

So now we can move to the vertical motion, and we can calculate the distance covered vertically by the ball while falling for t=0.58 s, by using:

S=\frac{1}{2}at^2=\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2)(0.58 s)^2=1.65 m

A mass on the end of a spring undergoes simple harmonic motion. At the instant when the mass is at its maximum displacement from
kaheart [24]

Answer:

zero

Explanation:

In this system, only conservative forces act. Therefore, the mechanical energy, that is, the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy, remains constant. When the mass is at its maximum displacement from equilibrium, its potential energy is maximum, therefore, its kinetic energy is minimal, that is to say, that its instantaneous velocity at that point is zero.
