Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei come very close and then collide at a very high speed and join to form a new nucleus. This process is important to stars because they get their energy from the nuclear fusion process
Explanation:
4a)the displacement is the distance moved in a direction but since no direction is given, the displacement is equal to the distance
b) the distance moved is 400m because that's the length of the track
Answer:
the time interval that an earth observer measures is 4 seconds
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
speed of the spacecraft as it moves past the is 0.6 times the speed of light
we know that speed of light c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s
so speed of spacecraft v = 0.6 × c = 0.6c
time interval between ticks of the spacecraft clock Δt₀ = 3.2 seconds
Now, from time dilation;
t = Δt₀ / √( 1 - ( v² / c² ) )
t = Δt₀ / √( 1 - ( v/c )² )
we substitute
t = 3.2 / √( 1 - ( 0.6c / c )² )
t = 3.2 / √( 1 - ( 0.6 )² )
t = 3.2 / √( 1 - 0.36 )
t = 3.2 / √0.64
t = 3.2 / 0.8
t = 4 seconds
Therefore, the time interval that an earth observer measures is 4 seconds
Explanation:
Take north to be positive and south to be negative.
a = (v − v₀) / t
a = (-4.5 m/s − 4.5 m/s) / 8 s
a = -1.125 m/s²
The acceleration is 1.125 m/s² south.
