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.

Furkat [3]

Answer:

the airspeed indicated by the pitot-tube driven airspeed indicator is 91.23m/s

Explanation:

Pitot tube

U = \sqrt{\frac{(p_t - p_s)2}{d} }

U = velocity(m/s)

p_t= stagnation pressure (pa)

p_s= static pressure (pa)

d = fluid density(kg/m³)

p_t = p_a_t_m + \frac{1}{2} dv^2

v = true velocity

= 101325 + 1/2(1.225)(25)²

p_t = 101,707.8125pa

p_s = 96,610pa

d = 1.225kg/m³

U = \sqrt{\frac{2(101,707.8125 - 96,610)}{1.225} } \\\\U = 91.23m/s

the airspeed indicated by the pitot-tube driven airspeed indicator is 91.23m/s

What is the frequency of this wave?
Anastasy [175]
In telecommunication systems, Carrier frequency is a technical term used to indicate: ... The frequency of the unmodulated electromagnetic wave at the output of a conventional amplitude-modulated (AM-unsupressed carrier), or frequency-modulated (FM), or phase-modulated (PM) radio transmitter.

Describe the octet rule in terms of noble-gas configurations and potential energy
Wittaler [7]
Elements will gain or lose electrons to form a noble gas configuration. Atoms that meet the octet rule are stable because their valence electrons have a relatively low potential energy. Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

What is your opinion on Fluorinated gases
Nikolay [14]

Answer: Fluorinated gases (F-gases) are man-made gases that can stay in the atmosphere for centuries and contribute to a global greenhouse effect. this is extremely bad for the earth and is causing downpour on our plants and animals. Why would we creat gases we can not get rid of its ver diapointing
