A spacecraft built in the shape of a sphere moves past an observer on the Earth with a speed of 0.500c. What shape does the obse

Answer:

Given the speed of the 0.500c, the spacecraft is spherical.

Explanation:

The length of an object is contracted in the direction of the motion. It can be visualize that if a spherical body is contracted along a particular axial direction then the shape of the spherical body is seem to be in shape of a pillow, similarly the spherical spacecraft moves away and seems to be contracted along the direction of motion, so it becomes a round shape flattened along the direction of motion.

Electromagnetic waves are ........... by shiny surfaces.
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves are reflected

Explanation:

Reflection of light (and other forms of electromagnetic radiation) occurs when the waves encounter a surface or other boundary that does not absorb the energy of the radiation and bounces the waves away from the surface. ... This concept is often termed the Law of Reflection.

Ryan applied a force of 10N and moved a book 30 cm in the direction of the force. How much was the workdone by Ryan?​
Xelga [282]
<h2><u>Question</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

Ryan applied a force of 10N and moved a book 30 cm in the direction of the force. How much was the work done by Ryan?

<h2><u>Answer:</u><u>-</u></h2>

<h3>Given,</h3>

=> Force applied by Ryan = 10N

=> Distance covered by the book after applying force = 30 cm

<h3>And,</h3>

30 cm = 0.3 m (distance)

<h3>So,</h3>

=> Work done = Force × Distance

=> 10 × 0.3

=> 3 Joules

\small \boxed{work \: done \:  by \: Ryan \:  = 3 \: Joules}

Which three quantities can be used to calculate acceleration?
PtichkaEL [24]
D is the correct answer, assuming that this is the special case of classical kinematics at constant acceleration. You can use the equation V = Vo + at, where Vo is the initial velocity, V is the final velocity, and t is the time elapsed. In D, all three of these values are given, so you simply solve for a, the acceleration.
A and C are clearly incorrect, as mass and force (in terms of projectile motion) have no effect on an object's motion. B is incorrect because it is not useful to know the position or distance traveled, unless it will help you find displacement. Even then, you would not have enough information to use a kinematics equation to find a.

A horse of mass 242 kg pulls a cart of mass 224 kg. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . What is the largest acceleration
Rufina [12.5K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's second Law and the force of friction. According to Newton, the Force is defined as

F = ma

Where,

m= Mass

a = Acceleration

At the same time the frictional force can be defined as,

F_f = \mu N

Where,

\mu = Frictional coefficient

N = Normal force (mass*gravity)

Our values are given as,

m_h = 242 kg\\m_c = 224 kg\\\mu = 0.894\\

By condition of Balance the friction force must be equal to the total net force, that is to say

F_{net} = F_f

m_{total}a = \mu m_hg

(m_h+m_c)a = \mu*m_h*g

Re-arrange to find acceleration,

a= \frac{\mu*m_h*g}{(m_h+m_c)}

a = \frac{0.894*242*9.8}{(242+224)}

a = 4.54 m/s^2

Therefore the acceleration the horse can give is 4.54m/s^2

A Ray of light in air is incident on an air to glass boundary at an angle of 30. degrees with the normal. If the index of refrac
elena55 [62]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Snell's law states:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where n is the index of refraction and θ is the angle of incidence (relative to the normal).

The index of refraction of air is approximately 1.  So:

1 sin 30° = 1.52 sin θ

θ ≈ 19°
