<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:

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

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

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 dilation of time stating that time passes at different rates in regions of different gravitational potential. 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.

Does a physicist studies cells and life cycles?

Hey there!

No, that would be a biologist. Biologists study biology, or life. They're focused on life cycles, cells, evolution, and so much more.

Physicists focus on physics. They learn about forces, motion, and the study of the universal forces like gravity, momentum, and speed. Just like mathematics, they study patterns and look for new discoveries to be found in the fields of science, physics, and even mathematics.

Hope this helps!

A 2290 kg car traveling to the west at 22.3 m/s slows down uniformly. How long would it take the car to come to a stop if the fo

Answer:

5.72 s

Explanation:

From Newton's law, F = ma

The East is +ve direction, Hence,

F = +8930 N

m = 2290 kg

a = ?

8930 = 2290 × a

a = 8930/2290 = 3.90 m/s²

So, we will find the time it takes the car to stop using the equations of motion

a = 3.90 m/s²

u = initial velocity of the car = - 22.3 m/s (the velocity is to the west)

v = final velocity of the car = 0 m/s (since the car comes to rest)

t = time taken for the car to come to rest = ?

v = u + at

0 = - 22.3 + (3.90)(t)

3.9t = 22.3

t = 5.72 s

Viktor [21]

Here we have perfectly inelastic collision. Perfectly inelastic collision is type of collision during which two objects collide, stay connected and momentum is conserved. Formula used for conservation of momentum is:
$m_{1} * v_{1} + m_{2} * v_{2} = m_{1} * v'_{1}+ m_{2} * v'_{2}$

In case of perfectly inelastic collision v'1 and v'2 are same.

We are given information:
m₁=0.5kg
m₂=0.8kg
v₁=3m/s
v₂=2m/s
v'₁=v'₂=x

0.5*3 + 0.8*2 = 0.5*x + 0.8*x
1.5 + 1.6 = 1.3x
3.1 = 1.3x
x = 2.4 m/s
