<h2>Answer: Invariance of the speed of light in vacuum  </h2>

Special relativity was proposed on 1905 by Einstein, who developed his theory based on the following two postulates:  

<em>1. The laws of physics are the same in all inertial systems. There is no preferential system.  </em>

<em>2. The speed of light in vacuum has the same value for all inertial systems.  </em>

<em></em>

Focusing on the first postulate, it can be affirmed that any measurement on a body is made with reference to the system in which it is being measured.

 

In addition, it deals with the <u>dilation of time</u> stating that <u>time passes at different rates in regions of different gravitational potential</u>. That is, the greater the local distortion of space-time due to gravity, the slower the time passes.  

On the other hand, following what relativity establishes, bodies within a gravitational field follow a curved space path.

A 2.0-kg block slides on a rough horizontal surface. A force (magnitude P = 4.0 N) acting parallel to the surface is applied to
irinina [24]

When the applied force increases to 5 N, the magnitude of the block's acceleration is 1.7 m/s².

<h3>Frictional force between the block and the horizontal surface</h3>

The frictional force between the block and the horizontal surface is determined by applying Newton's law;

∑F = ma

F - Ff = ma

Ff = F - ma

Ff = 4 - 2(1.2)

Ff = 4 - 2.4

Ff = 1.6 N

When the applied force increases to 5 N, the magnitude of the block's acceleration is calculated as follows;

F - Ff = ma

5 - 1.6 = 2a

3.4 = 2a

a = 3.4/2

a = 1.7 m/s²

Thus, when the applied force increases to 5 N, the magnitude of the block's acceleration is 1.7 m/s².

scoray [572]

Answer: 704

Explanation:Vi = 0 m/s

vf = 65 m/s

a = 3 m/s2

d = ??

vf2 = vi2 + 2*a*d

(65 m/s)2 = (0 m/s)2 + 2*(3 m/s2)*d

4225 m2/s2 = (0 m/s)2 + (6 m/s2)*d

(4225 m 2/m2)/(6 m/s2) = d

d = 704 m
