A light flashes at position x=0m. One microsecond later, a light flashes at position x=1000m. In a second reference frame, movin

g along the x-axis at speed v, the two flashes are simultaneous. Is this second frame moving to the right or to the left relative to the original frame?

Answer:

To the right relative to the original frame.

Explanation:

In first reference frame <em>S</em>,

Spatial interval of the event, \rm \Delta x=1000\ m-0\ m=1000\ m.

Temporal interval of the event, \rm \Delta t = 1\ \mu s=10^{-6}\ s.

In the second reference frame <em>S'</em>, the two flashes are simultaneous, which means that the temporal interval of the event in this frame is \rm \Delta t'=0\ s.

The speed of the frame <em>S' </em>with respect to frame <em>S</em> = v.

According to the Lorentz transformation,

\rm \Delta t'=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}\left( \Delta t-\dfrac{v\Delta x}{c^2}\right ).\\\\Since,\ \Delta t'=0,\\\therefore \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}\left( \Delta t-\dfrac{v\Delta x}{c^2}\right )=0\\\Rightarrow \Delta t-\dfrac{v\Delta x}{c^2}=0\\\dfrac{v\Delta x}{c^2}=\Delta t\\v=\dfrac{c^2\Delta t}{\Delta x }.\\\\Also, \ \Delta t,\ \Delta x>0\ \Rightarrow v>0.

And positive v means the velocity of the second frame<em> </em><em>S'</em> is along the positive x-axis direction, i.e., to the right direction relative to the original frame <em>S</em>.

2×3.14√(1.0m/(9.8〖ms〗^(-1) )=)
il63 [147K]

This is the period in a simple harmonic motion which is 2 seconds in this question.

<h3>What is Period ?</h3>

The period of an oscillatory object can be defined as the total time taken  by a vibrating body to make one complete revolution about a reference point.

We are given the below question

2×3.14√(1.0m/(9.8〖ms〗^(2) )= T

This question can as well be expressed as

2π√(L/g) which is equal to period T.

In a nut shell, Period T = 2×3.14√(1.0m/9.8)

T = 6.28√0.102

T = 6.28 × 0.32

T = 2.006 s

Therefore, the period T of the oscillation is 2 seconds approximately.

A certain 100W light bulb has an efficiency of 95%. How much thermal energy will this light bulb add to the inside of a room in
Usimov [2.4K]
Since the bulb consumes 100 watts of power and its efficiency is 95%,
it generates 95 watts of light energy and 5 watts of heat energy whenever
it's turned on.

5 watts means  5 joules of energy per second.

(2.5 hours) x (3,600 seconds/hour) =  9,000 seconds

(9,000 seconds) x (5 joules/second)  =  45,000 joules of heat in 2.5 hours

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Absolute advantage is the capability of a commercial entity to produce goods using fewer resources compared to rivals. Using the same inputs, an entity with an absolute advantage produces a larger output compared to competitors. It means the firm has a lower marginal cost of production. Therefore, its products will have the lowest prices in the market.

-Boston tea party-
lisov135 [29]

Answer: The Boston Tea Party was a political protest that occurred on December 16, 1773, at Griffin’s Wharf in Boston, Massachusetts. American colonists, frustrated and angry at Britain for imposing “taxation without representation,” dumped 342 chests of tea, imported by the British East India Company into the harbor. The event was the first major act of defiance to British rule over the colonists. It showed Great Britain that Americans wouldn’t take taxation and tyranny sitting down, and rallied American patriots across the 13 colonies to fight for independence.
