18. Two spaceships are traveling in the same direction. With respect to an inertial frame of reference, spaceship A has a speed

of 0.900c. With respect to the same inertial frame, spaceship B has a speed of 0.500c. Find the speed vAB of spaceship A relative to spaceship B.

Answer:

v_{A} -v_{B}=v_{AB}\\v_{AB} =0.9c-0.5c\\v_{AB}=0.4c

Explanation:

Because the spaceships are traveling in the same direction, you should subtract the speed of spaceship A from the speed of spaceship B in order to calculate v_{AB}.

what happens to light when it falls upon a material that has a natural frequency equal to the frequency of the light?
mixas84 [53]

The energy from the light is transferred to the material, causing it to vibrate and absorb the light.

What is energy?
In physics, energy is the quantitative quality that is transmitted to the a body or a physical system, and is discernible in the work performed as well as in the form of light and heat. The law of conservation states that although energy can change its form, it cannot be created or destroyed. Energy is indeed a conserved quantity. The International System of Units' (SI's) joule is the measurement unit for energy (J). A moving object's kinetic energy, a solid object's elastic energy, chemical energy caused by chemical reactions, and the potential energy that an object stores (for instance because of its position inside a field) are examples of common forms of energy.

When light falls upon a material that has a natural frequency equal to the frequency of the light, the light will be absorbed by the material. This is due to resonance, which occurs when the frequency of the light matches the natural frequency of the material. The energy from the light is transferred to the material, causing it to vibrate and absorb the light.

It has been suggested that rotating cylinders several miles in length and several miles in diameter be placed in space and used
stepladder [879]

Answer:

the required revolution per hour is 28.6849

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that the expression for the linear acceleration in terms of angular velocity is;

a_{c} = rω²

ω² = a_{c} / r

ω = √( a_{c} / r )

where r is the radius of the cylinder

ω is the angular velocity

given that; the centripetal acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity a a_{c}  = g = 9.8 m/s²

so, given that, diameter = 4.86 miles = 4.86 × 1609 = 7819.74 m

Radius r = Diameter / 2 = 7819.74 m / 2 = 3909.87 m

so we substitute

ω = √( 9.8 m/s² / 3909.87 m )

ω = √0.002506477 s²  

ω = 0.0500647 ≈ 0.05 rad/s  

we know that; 1 rad/s = 9.5493 revolution per minute

ω = 0.05 × 9.5493 RPM

ω = 0.478082 RPM  

1 rpm = 60 rph  

so  

ω = 0.478082 × 60

ω = 28.6849  revolutions per hour  

Therefore, the required revolution per hour is 28.6849

If a 50 kg student is standing on the edge of a cliff. Find the student’s gravitational potential energy if the cliff is 40 m hi
Oduvanchick [21]

you can find it using the equation: potential energy=mass*gravitational acceleration*height.


energy=50kg*9.8N/kg*40m=19600Nm=19600J or 19.6kJ


Sometimes they use 10 instead of 9.8 for the g constant.
