Answer:

a and b

Explanation:

According to theory of relativity by great Scientist Albert Eintein the speed of light is independent of frame of reference that the speed of light shall remain constnat whether the frame is inertial or non-inertial.

Therefore, both the ground observer and the driver shall measure same speed of light that is C.

Newly discovered planet has twice the mass and three times the radius of the earth. What is the free-fall acceleration at its su
skad [1K]

Answer:

g_n=\dfrac{2}{9}g

Explanation:

M = Mass of Earth

G = Gravitational constant

R = Radius of Earth

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is

g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}

On new planet

g_n=\dfrac{G2M}{(3R)^2}\\\Rightarrow g_n=\dfrac{2GM}{9R^2}

Dividing the two equations we get

\dfrac{g_n}{g}=\dfrac{\dfrac{2GM}{9R^2}}{\dfrac{GM}{R^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{g_n}{g}=\dfrac{2}{9}\\\Rightarrow g_n=\dfrac{2}{9}g

The acceleration due to gravity on the other planet is g_n=\dfrac{2}{9}g

2. A ball tied to a pole by a rope swings in a circular path with a centripetal acceleration of 2.7 m/s. If the ball has a
Helga [31]

Answer: The diameter of the circular path is 2.96m

Explanation: centripetal acceleration = tangential speed^2 / radius of the circular path.

Centripetal acceleration = 2.7m/s^2

Tangential speed = 2.0m/s

Radius = 2.0^2 / 2.7 = 4/2.7

= 1.48m

Diameter = radius*2

= 1.48*2 = 2.96m.

(a) Calculate the rate of heat conduction through house walls that are 13.0 cm thick and that have an average thermal conductivi
Mkey [24]

Answer:

a. 960 W b. One 1 kW room heater

Explanation:

a. The rate of heat conduction P = kA(T₂ - T₁)/d where k = 2 × 0.040 W/m-K =  0.080 W/m-K since the thermal conductivity of glass wool is 0.040 W/m-K and that of the material is twice the thermal conductivity of glass wool, A = area of walls = 120 m², T₁ = outside surface temperature = 5.0 °C, T₂ = inside surface temperature = 18.0 °C and d = thickness of wall = 13.0 cm = 0.13 m

P = kA(T₂ - T₁)/d

= 0.080 W/m-K × 120 m²(18.0 °C - 5.0 °C)/0.13 m

= 9.6 Wm/K × 13 K/0.13 m

= 124.8 Wm/0.13 m

= 960 W

b. The number of 1 kW room heater required will be

n = rate of heat conduction/power of one room heater = 960 W/ 1 kW = 960 W/1000 W = 0.96 ≅ 1

So we need only one 1 kW room heater.
