Answer:

The duration of the movie is longer than 2 hrs.

Explanation:

Given:

The duration of the movie observed by the crew on the spacecraft is 2 hrs.

According to time-dilation formula:

t = \dfrac{t_{0}}{\sqrt{1 - \dfrac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

Here, t is the required time, t_{0} is the original time, v is the velocity of the spacecraft and c is the velocity of light.

Since v, so t_{0} > t.

So the time required will be large.

During an observation, it was noticed that light diffracts as it passes through small slits in a barrier. What does this evidenc
Lynna [10]

Answer:

It reveals that light is a wave

Explanation:

Diffraction is the property of a wave in which there is a bending of the wave about the corners of an obstacle or aperture into the geometrical shadow of the obstacle or aperture.

This simply implies that a wave bends or spreads out when it passes through openings. Since the light diffracts through small slits and diffraction has been shown to occur in water waves and sound waves, this property of diffraction can only be characteristic of a wave and thus, this evidence reveals that light is a wave.

A pelican flying along a horizontal path drops
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The initial speed of the pelican is 8.81 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

height of the pelican, h = 5.0 m

horizontal distance, X = 8.9 m

The time of flight is given by;

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2*5}{9.81} } \\\\t = 1.01 \ s

The initial horizontal speed of the pelican is given by;

X = vₓt

vₓ = X / t

vₓ = 8.9 / 1.01

vₓ = 8.81 m/s

Therefore, the initial speed of the pelican is 8.81 m/s.

A girl is floating in a freshwater lake with her head just above the water. If she weighs 610 N, what is the volume of the subme
Elden [556K]

Answer:

The volume of the submerged part of her body is 0.0622m^{3}

Explanation:

Let's define the buoyant force acting on a submerged object.

In a submerged object acts a buoyant force which can be calculated as :

B=ρ.V.g

Where ''B'' is the buoyant force

Where ''ρ'' is the density of the fluid

Where ''V'' is the submerged volume of the object

Where ''g'' is the acceleration due to gravity

Because the girl is floating we can state that the weight of the girl is equal to the buoyant force.

We can write :

W_{girl}=B (I)

Where ''W'' is weight

⇒ If we consider ρ = 1000\frac{kg}{m^{3}} (water density) and g=9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}} and replacing this values in the equation (I) ⇒

B=W_{girl}

B=610N

ρ.V.g = 610N

1000\frac{kg}{m^{3}}.V.(9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}})=610N (II)

The force unit ''N'' (Newton) is defined as

N=kg.\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Using this in the equation (II) :

(9810\frac{N}{m^{3}}).V =610N

V=\frac{610N}{9810\frac{N}{m^{3}}}

V=0.0622m^{3}

We find that the volume of the submerged part of her body is 0.0622m^{3}
