To solve this problem , we will use the length contraction equation as follows:
L = L0((1 - v^2/c^2))^0.5
where:
L is the desired length
L0 is the length measured at initial frame = 1 m
v is the velocity
c is the speed of light

Substituting by these givens in the above equation, we can calculate L as follows:
L = 1((1 - (0.8 c)^2/c2))^0.5 = 0.6 meters

1. Two vehicles are pulling against each other as follows:
maria [59]

Answer:

Third and fourth diagrams correctly represent the forces as vectors.

Explanation:

The vehicles are pulling against each other, this means their force vectors must point in the opposite directions, so our diagram must have this property.

Looking a the first diagram we see than both force vectors point in the same direction, so this cannot be the right answer.

In the second diagram the force vectors have the same direction, but in direction opposite the previous diagram. This is also not a correct diagram for our situation.

In the third diagram the forces vectors point in the opposite directions and they have the right magnitudes ( 750N is smaller than 1000N vector). So this diagram correctly represents our situation.

For the fourth diagram the vectors point in the opposite directions and they have the right magnitudes; therefore, it is also a correct representation of the situation.

So we have got two correct diagrams: the third and fourth. <em>And we cannot choose between them because we do not know whether it's the truck or the car that is on the left or right. For example if the car was on the left the third diagram would have been chosen. </em>

The energy transferred to the water in 100 seconds was 155 000 J. specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg °C
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

0.37 kg

Explanation:

I'm not a professor myself, but this is how I worked it out:

using the graph, after 100 seconds, the temperature is 100 degrees Celsius.

If we now substitute everything into the specific heat capacity equation, making the mass "m", we would come up with:

4200 = 155000/(m x 100)

If we rearrange and solve for m, we get 0.37 kg.

I'm not sure if I have done this correctly, feel free to correct me.

Hope this helps!
