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.

How to find the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve using a graph?
soldi70 [24.7K]
Solubility indicates the maximum amount of a substance that can be dissolved in a solvent at a given temperature. Such a solution is called saturated. Divide the mass of the compound by the mass of the solvent and then multiply by 100 g to calculate the solubility in g/100g .

discuss the difference between molarity and molality, state the units of each, state the symbol of each, and give an example of
Afina-wow [57]
Molarity and molality both describe the concentration of a substance in terms of moles.
Molarity describes the number of moles of a substance per unit of volume, typically per liter (mol/l).
Molality describes the number of moles per unit of mass, typically kilograms (mol/kg). 
When determining the molality of a solution, mol/kg can be obtained by finding the number of moles in the substance, and dividing that number by the the total weight in kilograms of that substance.
When determining the molarity of a solution, mol/l can be obtained by dividing the number of moles in a substance by the total volume in liters of that substance.

How can radioactive dating and relative dating be used together to date the age of a rock strata or an organism?
Otrada [13]

Answer:

It compares the the difference between a radioactive element remaining in specimen to the amount of the radioactive element that would have been originally trapped in the specimen. This is done by comparing the ratio of the relative abundance of this radioactive element to its non radioactive isotope in nature to their ratio remaining in the specimen and comparing it to the half-life of the radioactive isotope.
