Suppose that a person riding on the top of a freight car shines a searchlight beam in the direction in which the train is travel

ing.

Answer:

same

Explanation:

Acc. to Einstien's postulate of special theory of

Relativity , Velocity of the light beam is same in all frames of references

(a) If the freight car is at rest

The frame we can assumed as Non - inertial frame  of reference s

In the inertial frame of reference , velocity  of the light beam  has its own value as : 3 x 10^8 m/s

(b) If the freight car is moving , the frame we can assumed as  Non -inertial frame of reference    

In thus case also , The velocity of the light beam  will also have  the same value as ; 3 x 108 m/s

Goshia [24]

Answer:

It took 1.28 seconds to his voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the distribution of radiation due to the different frequencies at which it radiates and its different intensities, that radiation is formed by electromagnetic waves, which are transverse waves formed by an electric field and a magnetic field perpendicular to it.

The distribution of the radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum can also be given in wavelengths, but it is more frequent to work with it at frequencies, the highest being that of gamma rays, followed by X-rays, ultraviolet rays and the visible region , and those of lower frequencies, which correspond to infrared, microwave and radio waves.

Light propagates as electromagnetic wave in vacuum with a speed of 3x10^{8}m/s. Therefore, radio waves will have in vacuum the same speed.

Then, to know the time that it took for its voice, the next equation can be used:

c = \frac{d}{t}  (1)

Where c is the speed of light, d is the distance and t is the time.

Notice that t can be isolated from equation 1.

t = \frac{d}{c} (2)

t = \frac{3.85x10^{8} m}{3x10^{8}m/s}

t = 1.28s

Hence, it took 1.28 seconds to his voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

A 5.67-kg block of wood is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 150 N/m. The block is free to slide on a horizontal fr
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

v=0.94 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

M= 5.67 kg

k= 150 N/m

m=1 kg

μ = 0.45

The maximum acceleration of upper block can be μ g.

 a= μ g                          ( g = 10 m/s²)

The maximum acceleration of system will ω²X.

ω = natural frequency

X=maximum displacement

For top stop slipping

μ g  =ω²X

We know for spring mass system natural frequency given as

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{M+m}}

By putting the values

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{150}{5.67+1}}

ω = 4.47 rad/s

μ g  =ω²X

By putting the values

0.45 x 10 = 4.47² X

X = 0.2 m

From energy conservation

\dfrac{1}{2}kX^2=\dfrac{1}{2}(m+M)v^2

kX^2=(m+M)v^2

150 x 0.2²=6.67 v²

v=0.94 m/s

This is the maximum speed of system.

a hippopotamus produces a pressure of 250000 pa when it is standing on all four feet if the weight of the hippo is 40000 N what
mamaluj [8]

0.04m²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure = 250000Pa

Weight = 40000N

Unknown:

Area of each foot = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force exerted per unit area of a body

  Pressure = \frac{force}{area}

To find the area;

        Area = \frac{force }{pressure}

    Area = \frac{40000}{250000} = 0.16m²

The force exerted by all the four feet is 0.16m²

the area of each feet = \frac{0.16}{4} = 0.04m²
