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.

At a given time of day, the ratio of the height of an object to the length of its shadow is the same for all objects. If a 4-f

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:35.2 ft

Explanation:

Given

height of stick =4 ft

shadow length =2.8 ft

Angle of elevation of sun is

$tan\theta =\frac{4}{2.8}$

let the height of tree be h

as $\theta$ will remain same thus

$tan\theta =\frac{h}{24.64}$

$\frac{4}{2.8}=\frac{h}{24.64}$

h=35.2 ft

Describe briefly how you would check that the rule is horizontal in this experiment. You may draw a diagram.

aliina [53]

Answer:

We want to describe how to graph a linear equation.

Explanation:

The given equation is:

y = -4x - 1

a) To graph it, we need to find two points that belong to the line, then we graph the points, and then we connect them with a line.

To get the points, we just need to evaluate the function in two different values of x.

for x = 0

y = -4*0 - 1 = -1

So we have the point (0, -1)

for x = 1

y = -4*1 - 1 = -5

So we have the point (1, - 5)

Now we just need to find these two points and connect them with a line, the graph can be seen below.

b) To check if the graph is correct we can see two things:

in y = -4*x - 1

The y-intercept is -1, this means that the graph should intersect the y-axis at y = -1

The slope is -4, this means that for each unit increase on x, we should see that the y-value decreases by 4.

Checking those two things we can see if our graph is correct or not.

How would an object need to move in order for total distance traveled and displacement to be equal?

mart [117]

Jimmy is cooking pasta in a pot of water on the stove. He uses a stopwatch to see how long the pasta takes to cook depending on

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

stove

Explanation:

The stove is the independent variable in this question as it does not depend on anything like other variables such as pot, water, temperature and of cause pasta.

The pot depends on the stove, the water depends on the pot and stove, the pasta depends on the water and its temperature.

Cheers.
