3 0

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.

Of the three types of radiation listed below, which is the least penetrating and which is the most penetrating? -alpha -beta -ga
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Alpha is the least penetrating radiation listed below.

Gamma is the most penetrating radiation in the given list.

These rays can be used to detect cancer, sterilizing the medical instrument, smoke detector, etc.

Radiation emitted from the radioactive elements also have very harmful. They affect the living being a lot. Waste from the nuclear reactor also contains harmful radiation which causes Land pollution if not disposed of properly.

Calculate the magnitude of the angular momentum of the earth due its daily rotation about its own axis
ioda
L=Iw
I_{earth} =  \frac{2}{5} r^{2}m= \frac{2}{5} (6371000^2m)(5.97*10^{24}kg)=9.71*10^ {37}
L_{earth}=Iw=(9.71*10^ {37})(7.27*10^{-5})=7.07*10^{33}<span>[/tex]</span>

(b) 360 days into seconds.
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Explanation:

(b) We know that,

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 3600 s

So, we found that, 1 day = 86400 s

We need to find the 360 days into seconds. So,

1 day = 86400 s

360 days = 86400×360

360 days = 31104000 seconds

(d) Weight of a body, W = 600 N

Acceleration due to gravity on mars is 3.7 m/s²

Weight, W = mg

m is mass of body

m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{600}{3.7}\\\\m=162.16\ kg

(e) Mass of body, m = 100 kg

Acceleration due to gravity on the moon, 1.6 m/s²

Weight, W = 100 × 1.6

W = 160 N

The nearest star to our planet other than the sun , is 4.4 light year away.One light-year is the distance light travels in a yea
lozanna [386]

Answer:

1606

The main reason for using light years, however, is because the distances we deal with in space are immense. If we stick to miles or kilometers we quickly run into unwieldy numbers just measuring the distance to the nearest star: a dim red dwarf called Proxima Centauri that sits a mere 24,000,000,000,000 miles away!
