In your own words, explain the effects of time dilation.

So we want to explain the effects of time dilation. In theory of relativity time dilation is the difference of elapsed time between two events when measured by two observers who are moving relatively to each other. A clock of an observer that is standing still in an inertial frame of reference is going to measure a different time of an event than the clock of an observer that is moving with some velocity with respect to the inertial reference frame that is not moving. In a nutshell, the moving clock is ticking slower than the clock that is standing still.

Explanation:

Time dilation: It is defined as the difference in the elapsed time which is measured by the two observer. It is due to the difference in the velocity relative to each other. It is the theory of special relativity.

Time dilation is an apparent loss of time of a moving clock as observed by the observer who is at rest.

Suppose, a clock is moving relative to an observer. It measures the time slower than the clock at rest in the observer frame of reference.

A round pipe of varying diameter carries petroleum from a wellhead to a refinery. At the wellhead, the pipe's diameter is 57.3 c

Mashcka [7]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter of pipe, $d_1=0.573 m$

$v_1=13.5 m/s$

$v_2=5.83 m/s$

Volume flow rate of the petroleum along the pipe= $Q_{refinery}=A_1v_1=v_(\frac{\pi d^2_1}{4})$

$Q_{refinery}=13.5\times (\pi\times \frac{0.573)^2}{4})=3.48 m^3/s$

By equation of continuity

$A_1v_1=A_2v_2$

$\frac{\pi d^2_1}{4}v_1=\frac{\pi d^2_2}{4}v_2$

$d^2_2=\frac{v_1}{v_2}d^2_1$

$d_2=\sqrt{\frac{v_1}{v_2}}d_1$

$d_2=0.573\sqrt{\frac{13.5}{5.83}}$

$d_2=0.87 m$

$d_2=0.87\time 100=87 cm$

1 m=100 cm

How do the forces on a skydiver affect the velocity of the skydiver as they fall?<br><br><br> Hellp

solmaris [256]

Answer:

Explanation:

As a skydiver falls, he accelerates downwards, gaining speed with each second. The increase in speed is accompanied by an increase in air resistance. This force of air resistance counters the force of gravity.

A ball traveling at a speed ν0 rolls off a desk and lands at a horizontal distance x0 away from the desk, as shown in the figure

klasskru [66]

Answer:

$3x_0$

Explanation:

The horizontal distance covered by the ball in the falling is only determined by its horizontal motion - in fact, it is given by

$d=v_x t$

where

$v_x$ is the horizontal velocity

t is the time of flight

The time of flight, instead, is only determined by the vertical motion of the ball: however, in this problem the vertical velocity is not changed (it is zero in both cases), so the time of flight remains the same.

In the first situation, the horizontal distance covered is

$d=v_0 t = x_0$

in the second case, the horizontal velocity is increased to

$v_x' = 3v_0$

And so the new distance travelled will be

$d' = v_x' t = 3 v_0 t = 3 x_0$

So, the distance increases linearly with the horizontal velocity.

The current in an electric hair dryer is 10

Vikki [24]

First let's convert the time in seconds:
$\Delta t= 5 min= 5 min \cdot (60 s/min)= 300 s$

The current is defined as the quantity of charge flowing through a certain section of a circuit per unit of time:
$I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}$
Using I=10 A, and $\Delta t=300 s$ , we can find the amount of charge flown through the hair dryer in this time:
$Q=I \Delta t=(10 A)(300 s)=3000 C$

The charge of a single electron is $q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C$ , so the number of electrons flown through the hair dryer is the total charge divided by the charge of a single electron:
$N= \frac{Q}{q}= \frac{3000 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C} =1.88 \cdot 10^{22}$
