Answer: Option A, speed of light.

Explanation: As the object reaches the speed of light, the length of the object will contract, this is called the Lorentz contraction. Also, the object will experience the time slower than if it were at rest, so an observer and the object will experience the time in a different way, and because of this the "rate of time passage" changes, so we already discarded option B, C, and D.

Now, the speed of the light is invariant, it is the same in any system and is a "physical constant", so it would not change, then the correct option is A.

An ion in a mass spectrometer follows a semicircular path of radius 14.8. What is the distance it travels?

aleksklad [387]

The circumference of a circle is (2π · the circle's radius).

The length of a semi-circle is (1π · the circle's radius) =

(π · 14.8) = 46.5 (rounded)

(The unit is the same as whatever the unit of the 14.8 is.)

A box slides down a 31° ramp with an acceleration of 0.99 m/s2. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box an

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer: $\mu$ =0.48

Explanation:

Given

inclination $\theta =31^{\circ}$

Acceleration of object $=0.99 m/s^2$

Now using FBD

$mg\sin \theta -f_r=ma$

$mg\sin \theta -\mu mg\cos \theta =ma$

$a=g\sin \theta -\mu g\cos \theta$

$0.99=5.04-\mu 8.4$

$\mu 8.4=4.057$

$\mu =0.48$

A split highway has a number of lanes for traffic. For traffic going in one direction, the radius for the inside of the curve is

Andrew [12]

Answer:

The correct one is that the force on B is half of the force on A

Explanation:

Because radius for the inside of the curve is half the radius for the outside and Car A travels on the inside while car B, travels at equal speed on the outside of the curve. Thus force on B will be half on A

A lamp is rated for 240v,2.5A.what is the cost of using the lamp for 3hrs if 1kWh of electricity cost #12

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

≈ 22¢

Explanation:

240 / 1000 = 0.240 kV

0.240 kV(2.5 A)(3 hr) = 1.8 kW•hr

1.8 kW•hr($0.12/kW•hr) = $0.216
