Answer:

a) The velocity of the light is invariant, this means that is always the same independent of the frame in which you are looking.

b) Inertial frames, this means that the frame is "not accelerating" (it can be fixed in place or moving with constant velocity)

C) When you are in the train, you are in the same frame than the clock, so you will no see nothing interesting, now, if you are outside of the train you will see a time dilation, this means that each "tick" of the clock is slightly longer than the one that the observer is holding. This happens because of the invariance of the speed of light, a way of seeing it is the next:

Suppose that the clock works sending a light signal, it travels a distance "d", it rebounds in a surface and comes to a receptor, when the photon hits the receptor, a "tick" of the clock is recorded, which would mean that a second has passed.

If the clock is still, the photon travels the distance d two times at a velocity c, so the "tick" of the clock is each "2d/c" seconds.

Now, in the moving clock, the distance that the photon moves is slightly higher (because now it also moves with the clock) suppose that this distance is D, so now the time is "2D/c", which will be bigger than the one that we had before.

a) It is absolute, so it does not change.

b) Inertial ones.

c) Inside the train the time will slow down relatively to the outside clock. So if one travel at nearly the speed if light for 2 hours on his clock, for outdoor observers it will look like 3 hours.

What is the least force you could exert on the refrigerator to move it?
Ulleksa [173]
 <span>If the refrigerator weights 1365 and you are not exerting any vertical force on it, then the normal force is also 1365N. so Fn=1365 

Fsf = Static frictional force = (coefficient of static friction) * (Normal force) 

So the least for you could exert to move it is equal to the Fsf. 
Fsf = (0.49)(1365N)</span><span>

Answer: Bohr's model (1913)

  Niels Bohr improved Rutherford's model. Using mathematical ideas, he showed that electrons occupy shells or energy levels around the nucleus. The Dalton model has changed over time because of the discovery of subatomic particles.

  Niels Bohr improved Rutherford's model. Using mathematical ideas, he showed that electrons occupy shells or energy levels around the nucleus. The Dalton model has changed over time because of the discovery of subatomic particles

  Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass.

  John Dalton

The idea that everything is made of atoms was pioneered by John Dalton (1766-1844) in a book he published in 1808. He is sometimes called the "father" of atomic theory, but judging from this photo on the right "grandfather" might be a better term.

A long straight cylindrical shell has an inner radius R_i and an outer radius R_0. It carries a current i, uniformly distributed
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Correct answer is option D

- Wire is on the cylinder axis and carries current i in the direction opposite to that of the current in the shell

Explanation:

- It cannot be Option E, because the magnetic field outside the wire would not be 0 due to the current carried by the conductor

-Also, the parallel wire cannot carry current in the same direction because, that would amplify the magnetic field created by the outer cylinder (since B is dir. proportional to the current) -and now, that leaves only option C and D. If, it is Option C, then that means one side of the cylinder would be more closer to the parallel wire than the other, so there would be different B fields on the two opposite sides of the cylinder. So, that means the answer is option D.
