Answer:

v = 2 v₁ v₂ / (v₁ + v₂)

Explanation:

The body travels the first half of the distance with velocity v₁. The time it takes is:

t₁ = (d/2) / v₁

t₁ = d / (2v₁)

Similarly, the body travels the second half with velocity v₂, so the time is:

t₂ = (d/2) / v₂

t₂ = d / (2v₂)

The average velocity is the total displacement over total time:

v = d / t

v = d / (t₁ + t₂)

v = d / (d / (2v₁) + d / (2v₂))

v = d / (d/2 (1/v₁ + 1/v₂))

v = 2 / (1/v₁ + 1/v₂)

v = 2 / ((v₁ + v₂) / (v₁ v₂))

v = 2 v₁ v₂ / (v₁ + v₂)

An event occurs in system K' at x' = 2 m, y' = 3.7 m, z' = 3.7 m, and t' = 0. System K' and K have their axes coincident at t =

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Coordinates of event in system K are (x,y,z,t)=(5.103m , 3.7m , 3.7m , 1.57×10⁻⁸s)

Explanation:

To find the coordinates of event in system K ,we have to use inverse Lorentz transformation

$x=\frac{x^{|}+vt^{|} }{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2} }{c{2} } } } \\x=\frac{2m+0.92c(0) }{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.92c)^{2} }{c{2} } } }\\x=5.103m\\y=y^{|}\\ y=3.7m\\z=z^{|}\\ z=3.7m$

for t

$r=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-v^{2} } } \\r=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(0.92)^{2} } } \\r=2.551\\t=r(t^{|}+vx^{|}/c^{2} )\\t=2.551(0s+(0.92c)(2)/c^{2} )\\t=1.57*10^{-8}s$

Coordinates of event in system K are (x,y,z,t)=(5.103m , 3.7m , 3.7m , 1.57×10⁻⁸s)

Which statements best describe x-rays? check all that apply. x-rays are electromagnetic waves. x-rays are longitudinal waves. x-

igor_vitrenko [27]

X ray is one of the electromagnetic waves.

As per Clark Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, all the electromagnetic waves move with the velocity of light i.e c= 3×10^8 m/s

In case of electromagnetic waves,the electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other as well as perpendicular to the direction of propagation.The electromagnetic waves exhibit the property of polarisation. Hence they are transverse in nature.

Hence the best statements about X- ray will be-

1- X -rays are electromagnetic waves

2-X-rays are transverse transverse waves

3- X- rays travel at the speed of light.

How does a sound wave transfer energy to your ears ?

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

A. Particles in air move in circles as the wave moves forward.

B. Particles in air move forward but not backward as the wave moves

forward.

C. Particles in air move up and down as the wave moves forward.

✔ D. Particles in air move forward and backward as the wave moves

forward.

Explanation:

The waves transfer energy from the source of the sound, e.g. a drum, to its surroundings. Your ear detects sound waves when vibrating air particles cause your ear drum to vibrate. The bigger the vibrations the louder the sound.
