A spaceship is traveling toward the earth from the space colony on Asteroid 1040A. The ship is at the halfway point of the trip,

passing Mars at a speed of 0.9c relative to the Mars frame of reference. At the same instant, a passenger on the spaceship receives a radio message from her boyfriend on 1040A and another from her sister on earth. According to the passenger on the ship, were these messages sent simultaneously or at different times? If at different times, which one was sent first? Explain your reason

Answer:

The message (signal) coming from the earth was sent first.

Explanation:

The radio messages reach Mars simultaneously, because the distance from Earth to Mars and that of from Mars to Asteroid is same. But the passenger in the spaceship is moving relative to Mars towards Earth and hence, the message from Earth reaches first.

According to passenger frame, the message (signal) coming from the Earth was sent first compared to message coming from Asteroid.

An object is most likely to become electrically charged by gaining or losing which type of particles?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

negative particles

Explanation:

An atom can be defined as the smallest unit comprising of matter that forms all chemical elements. Thus, atoms are basically the building blocks of matters and as such defines the structure of a chemical element.

Generally, these atoms are typically made up of three distinct particles and these are protons, neutrons and electrons.

In Chemistry, electrons can be defined as subatomic particles that are negatively charged and as such has a magnitude of -1.

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

Hence, an object is most likely to become electrically charged by gaining or losing negative particles.

a car moving with a speed of 10 metre per second is accelerator at the rate of 2 metre per second square find its velocity after
STatiana [176]

a = ( v(2) - v(1) ) ÷ ( t(2) - t(1) )

2 = ( v(2) - 10 ) ÷ ( 6 - 0 )

2 × 6 = v(2) - 10

v(2) = 12 + 10

v(2) = 22 m/s

The acclaimed environmental book, Silent Spring, was written by this woman in 1962.
olga_2 [115]
Rachel Carson was the author of the acclaimed environmental book, Silent Spring. The book was published in 1962.
It documented the negative effect that synthetic pesticides have on the environment, specifically on birds.
This book laid bare to the American public what chemical companies indirectly contributed to the environment. 
The public furor this book caused led to the reversal of the national pesticide policy, a nationwide ban on DDT for agricultural uses, and inspired the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
