Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. As such, perceptions of objects and time change as they approach light speed, but the laws of physics remain consistent regardless of speed. Objects will appear shortened and time will appear to slow down around an observer approaching near light speeds, but all quantities still exist as they did before and all causality is preserved, even if observers in different points or traveling at different speeds will report different things.

Answer:

Inertial frames of reference are at rest or move at constant speed unlike non-inertial frames of reference which are accelerating frames of reference.

According to first postulate of the special theory of relativity, all the laws of physics hold true in all the inertial frames of reference. According to the second postulate, the speed of light (<em>c</em>) is constant everywhere and is independent of the relative motion of the source of light.

Trevor places a mass on a spring. When he releases it, the mass and spring move in simple harmonic motion.

The correct answer is D He could pull the mass down farther.

Amplitude, is the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. So to increase the amplitude the spring should be pulled down further which can increase the amplitude.

A rocket initially at rest accelerates at a rate of 99. 0 meters/second2. Calculate the distance covered by the rocket if it att

creativ13 [48]

The rocket will cover $1 \times 10^3\rm \ m$ distance in 4. 5 s. Acceleration can be defined as the change in velocity.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration can be defined as the change in speed or the direction of the object.

From kinamatic equation:

$D = v_{t} +\dfrac 12at^2$

Where,

$D$ - final velocity = 445 m/s

$v_0$ - initial valocity = 0 m/s

$a$ - acceleration = 99. 0 m/s²

$t$ - time = 4. 50 s

Put the values in the formula,

$D = 0\times ( 4.5) + \dfrac12\times (99)(4.5)^2\\\\D = 1002 {\rm \ m}\\\\D = 1 \times 10^3\rm \ m$

Therefore, the rocket will cover $1 \times 10^3\rm \ m$ distance in 4. 5 s.

If 0.035pC of charge is transferred via the movement of Al3+ ions, how's many of these must be transferred in total? Please add

mr Goodwill [35]

Each $Al^+^3$ ion contains three extra protons. Hence, the extra charge on each $Al^+^3$ = $3 \times 1.6 \times 10^-^1^9$ C

Total charge = 0.035 pC

Total charge (Q) = $0.035 \times 10^-^1^2$ C

Let the number of $Al^+^3$ ions be n.

According to question:

$n \times 3 \times 1.6 \times 10^-^1^9 =0.035 \times 10^-^1^2$

$n = \frac{0.035 \times 10^-^1^2}{3 \times 1.6 \times 10^-^1^9}$

$n = 7.29167 \times 10^4$

n = 72917

Hence, the total number of ions needed to be transferred is 72917
