Which of the following is used to determine if a star is moving closer to Earth?

Spacetime interval: What is the interval between two events if in some given inertial reference frame the events are separated b

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

a. $\Delta s ^2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2$

b. $\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2$

c. $\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2$

Explanation:

The spacetime interval $\Delta s^2$ is given by

$\Delta s ^2 = \Delta (c t) ^ 2 - \Delta \vec{x}^2$

please, be aware this is the definition for the signature ( + - - - ), for the signature (- + + + ) the spacetime interval is given by:

$\Delta s ^2 = - \Delta (c t) ^ 2 + \Delta \vec{x}^2$ .

Lets work with the signature ( + - - - ), and, if needed in the other signature, we can multiply our interval by -1.

$\Delta \vec{x}^2 = (7.5 \ 10 \ m)^2$

$\Delta \vec{x}^2 = 5,625 m^2$

$\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (299,792,458 \frac{m}{s} \ 3 \ s)^2$

$\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (899,377,374 \ m)^2$

$\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2$

so

$\Delta s ^2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2 - 5,625 m^2$

$\Delta s ^2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2$

$\Delta \vec{x}^2 = (5 \ 10 \ m)^2$

$\Delta \vec{x}^2 = 2,500 m^2$

$\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (299,792,458 \frac{m}{s} \ 0.58 \ s)^2$

$\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (173,879,625.6 \ m)^2$

$\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2$

so

$\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2 - 2,500 m^2$

$\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2$

$\Delta \vec{x}^2 = (5 \ 10 \ m)^2$

$\Delta \vec{x}^2 = 2,500 m^2$

$\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (299,792,458 \frac{m}{s} \ 58 \ s)^2$

$\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (1.73879 \ 10^{10} \ m)^2$

$\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2$

so

$\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2 - 2,500 m^2$

$\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2$

Why would a landslide be more likely on a steep mountain than on a gently sloping hill?

asambeis [7]

Recall the equation for magnetic force:

F = qv x B *x is cross product, not separate variable!

If the magnetic field points towards N and you throw E, then the magnetic force would point up, or out of the page. Use the right-hand rule. You point your finger towards the direction of the object, and curl your finger to the magnetic field. Your thumb is the direction of the magnetic force.

Hope this helps!
