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.

On earth, two parts of a space probe weigh 14500 N and 4800 N. These parts are separated by a center-to-center distance of 18 m
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

F = 1.489*10^{-7}  N

Explanation: Weight of space probes on earth is given by:W= m*g

W= weight of the object( in N)

m= mass of the object (in kg)

g=acceleration due to gravity(9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2} })

Therefore,

m_{1} = \frac{14500}{9.81}

m_{1} = 1478.08  kg

Similarly,

m_{2} = \frac{4800}{9.81}

m_{2} = 489.29  kg

Now, considering these two parts as uniform spherical objects

Also, according to Superposition principle, gravitational net force experienced by an object is sum of all individual forces on the object.

Force between these two objects is given by:

F =  \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2}}{R^{2} }

G= gravitational constant (6.67 * 10^{-11} m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2})

m_{1} , m_{2}= masses of the object

R= distance between their centres (in m)(18 m)

Substituiting all these values into the above formula

F = 1.489*10^{-7}  N

This is the magnitude of force experienced by each part in the direction towards the other part, i.e the gravitational force is attractive in nature.

Why do aeroplanes take longer to fly west than east?
PolarNik [594]

Every planet/moon has global wind that are mostly determined by the way the planet/moon rotates and how evenly the Sun illuminates it. On the Earth the equator gets much more Sun than the poles. resulting in warmer air at the equator than the poles and creating circulation cells (or "Hadley Cells") which consist of warm air rising over the equator and then moving North and South from it and back round.

The Earth is also rotating. When any solid body rotates, bits of it that are nearer its axis move slower than those which are further away. As you move north (or south) from the equator, you are moving closer to the axis of the Earth and so the air which started at the equator and moved north (or south) will be moving faster than the ground it is over (it has the rotation speed of the ground at the equator, not the ground which is is now over). This results in winds which always move from the west to the east in the mid latitudes.

I SERIOUSLY can't do this type of questions so can someone solve it detailedly and putting with letters (there is a system you n
KatRina [158]

Answer:

4 Ohms

Explanation

(This is seriously not as hard as it looks :)

You only need two types of calculations:

  1. replace two resistances, say, R1 and R2, connected in a series by a single one R. In this case the new R is a sum of the two: R = R_1+R_2
  2. replace two resistances that are connected in parallel. In that case: \frac{1}{R}= \frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\mbox{or}\\R= \frac{R_1\cdot R_2}{R_1+R_2}

I am attaching a drawing showing the process of stepwise replacement of two resistances at a time (am using rectangles to represent a resistance). The left-most image shows the starting point, just a little bit "warped" to see it better. The two resistances (6 Ohm next to each other) are in parallel and are replaced by a single resistance (3 Ohm, see formula above) in the top middle image. Next, the two resistances (9 and 3 Ohm) are nicely in series, so they can be replaced by their sum, which is what happened going to the top right image. Finally we have two resistances in parallel and they can be replaced by a single, final, resistance as shown in the bottom right image. That (4 Ohms) is the <em>equivalent resistance</em> of the original circuit.

Using these two transformations you will be able to solve step by step any  problem like this, no matter how complex.
