FrozenT [24]

Answer:

If you were traveling away from earth at speed 0.5c, you wouldn't notice any change in your heartbeat, you won't notice your mass, height and waistline change. This is because you are on the same frame of reference as the ship in spacetime and any measurement done from the ship will give normal readings from an observer on the ship.

For an observer on earth, your heartbeat will be seen to slowdown (because your time on the ship will be perceived to slow down to an

observer on earth). Also, your mass will be seen to increase, you height will also be seen to increase, and your waistline will be seen to decrease when viewed from earth.

Two transverse waves travel along the same taut string inopposite directions. the waves are described by following equations use
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: y'=2Asin(kx)cos(wt)

Explanation:

Let y1=A sin (kx + wt) be the first wave

y2=A sin (kx - wt) be the second wave in the opposite direction (which we showed by putting a negative sign between the terms kx and wt)

Please do note that both wave have the same attributes (that's Amplitude, wave number and angular frequency) because they are formed on the same medium by the same source just that their directions are opposite.

By super imposing these 2 waves, we have a resulting singular wave representing both wave (law of superimposition) with a resulting value of vertical displacement y'.

Thus y' = y1 + y2.

Let us do the math.

y'=A sin (kx + wt) + A sin (kx - wt)

By factoring A out, we have that

y' = A [ sin (kx + wt) + sin (kx - wt)]

For simplicity let us use the substitution

Let (kx + wt) = a and (kx - wt) =b

Hence we have that

y' = A [sin a + sin b].

From trigonometric ratio

sin a + sin b = 2sin[(a+b)/2] * cos [(a - b)/2]

By recalling that (kx + wt) = a and (kx - wt) =b

sin a + sin b = 2sin [(kx +wt +kx-wt) /2] * cos [(kx +wt - (kx-wt))/2]

Thus we have that

sin a + sin b = 2sin [(kx+wt+kx-wt)/2] * cos[(kx+wt-kx+wt)/2]

By collecting like terms in the bracket we have that

sin a + sin b = 2sin[2kx/2] * cos [2wt/2]

By dividing

sin a + sin b = 2sin(kx) cos(wt)

Now let us get the final resultant vertical displacement (y')

Recall that

y' = A [sin a + sin b]. and we already deduced that

sin a + sin b = 2sin(kx) cos(wt)

Finally,

y' = A [2sin(kx) cos(wt)] which is

y'=2Asin(kx)cos(wt)...... Final answer

What do we mean when we say that 50 million tons of coal could replace the use of 0.6 MBPD (million barrels per day) of oil used
ololo11 [35]
<span>This statement simply implies that the 50 million tons of coal will produce the same energy output in one year as the 0.6 million barrels per day of oil. Assuming coal is more plentiful than oil, this is significant as 50 million tons is much smaller than 219 million barrels of oil.</span>

5. What is the amount of force required to accelerate a 20 kg object at a rate of 5 m/sz?
GenaCL600 [577]

Force required is 100 N

<u>Given that;</u>

Rate of acceleration = 5 m/s²

Mass of object = 20kg

<u>Find:</u>

Force required

<u>Computation:</u>

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Force required = Rate of acceleration × Mass of object

Force required = 20 × 5

Force required = 100 N
