The answer to this question is:

C-"That moving clocks run slower"

Your Welcome :)

Explanation:

The fact that 412 muons were detected by the same equipment at sea level reveals that moving clocks run slower. This is due to the reason of time dilation.

The time dilation slow down time with respect to external observer. The time dilation is caused due to the force of gravity and the velocity with which the object is moving.

Hence, the correct option is (c) "moving clocks run slower".

Travels 11,000 feet along a dark desert highway if the car averages 84 mph find the amount of time to cover this distance
laila [671]

The time taken by traveler to cover the distance is,

t=\frac{d}{v}

Substitute the known values,

\begin{gathered} t=\frac{(11000\text{ ft)}}{(84\text{ mph)(}\frac{1.46667\text{ ft/s}}{1\text{ mph}})_{}} \\ \approx89.3\text{ s} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the time taken by traveler to cover the distance is 89.3 s.

What is the resultant of the vectors shown?
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Option A is the wrong answer because the horizontal vector is in the opposite direction.

Option C is the wrong answer as the horizontal vector is in the opposite direction and all the vectors are connected head to tail [of the arrows] [Triangle law of vector addition]

Option D is the wrong answer as the horizontal vector is in the opposite direction.

A 30-cm long string, with one end clamped and the other free to move transversely, is vibrating in its second harmonic. The wave
Ann [662]

Answer:

\lambda = 40 cm

Explanation:

given data

string length = 30 cm

solution

we take here equation of length that is

L = n \times \frac{1}{4} \lambda     ...............1

so

total length will be here

L = \frac{\lambda}{2} +  \frac{\lambda}{4}\\

L = \frac{3 \lambda }{4}

so \lambda  will be

\lambda = \frac{4L}{3}\\\lambda = \frac{4\times 30}{3}

\lambda = 40 cm

Ana kicks a stationary 0.2kg soccer ball. The ball leaves her foot at a speed of 20 m/s.
elena55 [62]

Answer:a. 24 kg m/s

b.  3/5s

Explanation:

a.impulse is the change in momentum so at first the momentum is zero because the ball was at rest and the final momentum is 1.2kg*20m/s=24 kg m/s

so the impulse would be (24-0) kg m/s=24 kg m/s

b. so the impulse equation is impulse is force *delts time

so 24 kg m/s=40N*t

t=24 kg m/s /40N=3/5 s
