Suppose a rocket ship in deep space moves with constant acceleration equal to 9.8 m/s2, which gives the illusion of normal gravi

ty during the flight. (a) If it starts from rest, how long will it take to acquire a speed one-tenth that of light, which travels at 3.0 × 108 m/s? (b) How far will it travel in so doing?

(a).
It starts from rest, and its speed increases by 9.8 m/s every second.
One tenth the speed of light is (1/10) (3 x 10⁸ m/s) = 3 x 10⁷ m/s .
To reach that speed takes (3 x 10⁷ m/s) / (9.8 m/s²) = <u>3,061,224 seconds</u> .
That's about 35 days and 10 hours.

(b).
Distance traveled = (average speed) x (time of travel)
Average speed = (1/2) of (1/10 the speed of light) = 1.5 x 10⁷ m/s .
Time of travel is the answer to part (a) above.
Distance traveled = (1.5 x 10⁷ m/s) x (3,061,224 sec) = <u>4.59 x 10¹³ meters</u>
That's 45.9 billion kilometers.
That's 28.5 billion miles.
That's about 6.2 times the farthest distance that Pluto ever gets from the Sun.

When the frequency of an ac circuit is decreased, the current in the circuit increases. which combination of elements is most li
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The combination of elements most likely to comprise the circuit are resistor, inductor and capacitor

Explanation:

The impedance of an LCR circuit shown as

     Z = √R² + (X↓l - X↓c)²

     Z​ = √R² + (2π∨L - 1/2π∨c)²

Variation of Z with respect to υ is shown in the figure.

As υ increases, Z decreases and so the current increases.

At υ = υ↓r

Z is minimum, current is maximum. Beyond

    υ = υ↓r

​Z increases and so current decreases.

so the combination of circuit elements that is most suitable to comprise

the circuit is R, L and C.

Which is the electric potential energy of a charged particle divided by its charge?Electric fieldelectric field lineelectric pot
Dahasolnce [82]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

electric potential

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit charge.

Mathematically; V =PE/q

Where; PE is the electric potential energy, V is the electric potential and q is the charge.

Electric potential is more commonly known as voltage.  If you know the potential at a point, and you then place a charge at that point, the potential energy associated with that charge in that potential is simply the charge multiplied by the potential.

what is the ratio of ey,final, the maximum value of the y-component of the electric field immediately following the last polariz
OleMash [197]

That ratio is 2 .

<h3>What is ratio?</h3>

A ratio is the  comparison of the  two numbers bydivision.

Taking the first two outputs, or the  -1/8 and -1/4, we can divide not the second one by the first one to find the

ratio:

-1/4-1/8

When dividing fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal:

-1/4x-8/1

To multiply fractions, multiply straight across:

(-1x-8)/(4x1) 8/4=2
