Answer:

42.11 years old

Explanation:

Given that:

In 2000, a 20-year-old astronaut left Earth to explore the galaxy; her spaceship travels at 2.5 x 10^8 m/s. She returns in 2040

To find her age we use:

\Delta t_m=\frac{\Delta t_s}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }\\

Δtm is  time interval for the observer stationary relative to the sequence of

events = 2040 - 2000 = 40 years

Δts is is the time interval for an observer moving with a speed v relative to the  sequence of event

v = velocity = 2.5 x 10^8 m/s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

\Delta t_s=\Delta t_m}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }\\\Delta t_s=40\sqrt{1-\frac{(2.5*10^8)^2}{(3*10^8)^2}}\\\Delta t_s=22.11\ yr

Here age in 2000 is 20 year, therefore when she appear she would be 20 year + 22.11 year = 42.11 years old

What is the reaction force of the table with a weight of 558N
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: reaction force = -558N

Explanation:

w = f = 558N

since action force and reaction force are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction,

reaction force = -(f)

reaction force = -558N

if that helps.

A block is thrown with an initial velocity of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 25.0o above the horizontal. What is the highest elevation
Serga [27]

The highest elevation reached by the ball in its trajectory is 16.4 m.

To find the answer, we need to know about the maximum height reached in a projectile.

What's the mathematical expression of the maximum height reached in a projectile motion?

  • The maximum height= U²× sin²(θ)/g
  • U= initial velocity, θ= angle of projectile with horizontal and g= acceleration due to gravity

What's the maximum height reached by a block that is thrown with an initial velocity of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 25° above the horizontal?

  • Here, U = 30.0 m/s and θ= 25°
  • Maximum height= 30²× sin²(25)/9.8

= 16.4m

Thus, we can conclude that the highest elevation reached by the ball in its trajectory is 16.4 m.

Orlov [11]

The number converted is 0.0467 \frac{(kg)(s)}{m^3}

Explanation:

In order to convert from the original units to the final units, we have to keep in mind the following conversion factors:

1 kg = 1000 g = 10^6 mg

1 min = 60 s

1 m^3 = 1000 L

The original unit that we have is

\frac{mg\cdot min}{L}

Therefore, it can be rewritten as:

=\frac{mg \frac{1}{10^6 mg/kg}\cdot min\cdot  60 s/min}{L\frac{1}{1000L/m^3}}=0.06 \frac{(kg)(s)}{m^3}

Therefore, since the initial number was 0.779, the final value is

0.779\cdot 0.06 \frac{(kg)(s)}{m^3}=0.0467 \frac{(kg)(s)}{m^3}

An astronaut on the moon places a package on a scale and finds its weight to be 10. N. () What would the weight of the package
jeka94

Answer:

(a) 61.25 N

(b) 6.25 kg

(c) 6.25 Kg

Explanation:

Weight on moon = 10 N

Acceleration due to gravity on moon = 1.6 m/s^2

Acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s^2

Let m be the mass of the package.

(a) Weight on earth = mass x acceleration due to gravity on earth

Weight on earth = 6.25 x 9.8 = 61.25 N

(b) Weight on moon = mass x acceleration due to gravity on moon

10 = m x 1.6

m = 6.25 kg

(c) Mass of the package remains same as mass does not change, so the mass of package on earth is 6.25 kg.
