An observer moving toward Earth with a speed of 0.84 c notices that it takes 5.1 min for a person to fill her car with gas. Supp

ose, instead, that the observer had been moving away from Earth with a speed of 0.90 c.
How much time would the observer have measured for the car to be filled in this case?

Answer:

t₂=6.35min

Explanation:

t₁ = first observed time (=5.1 min)

t₂ = unknown; this is the quantity we want to find

V₁ = observer's initial speed (=0.84c)

V₂ = observer's final speed (=0.90c)

Lorentz factors for V₁ and V₂:

γ₁ = 1/√(1−(V₁/c)²)

γ₂ = 1/√(1−(V₂/c)²)

The "proper time" (the time measured by the person filling her car) is:

t′ = t₁/γ₁

The proper time is stated to be the same for both observations, so we also have:

t′ = t₂/γ₂

Combine those two equations and solve for t₂

t₂ = t₁(γ₂/γ₁)

t₂= t₁√((1−(V₁/c)²)/(1−(V₂/c)²))

t_{2}=5.1\sqrt{\frac{1-(0.84)^{2} }{1-(0.9)^{2} } }\\\\t_{2}=6.348min

What is the type of relationship between the height (H) and the atmospheric density, and which segment can give the most accurat
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

B.  inverse plot, 0.51 kilograms/meter3

Explanation: First of all, we note that the relationship between the altitude and the atmospheric density is an inverse relationship. In fact, an inverse relationship is a relationship between the x-variable and the y-variable of the form

Therefore, as the x increases, the y decreases, and as the x decreases, they increases. This is exactly what occurs with the altitude and the atmospheric density in this plot: as the altitude increases, the density decreases, and vice-versa.

Moreover, we can infer the value of the atmospheric density at an altitude of 1,291 km. This point is located between point A (2550 km) and point B(1000 km), so the density must have a value between 0.30 kg/m^3 and 0.54 kg/m^3, so the correct choice is

A thin hoop is supported in a vertical plane by a nail. What should the radius of the hoop be in order for it to have a period o
maxonik [38]

Answer:

0.124 m

Explanation:

the period of a simple pendulum with a small amplitude is given as

T = 2π [√(I/mgd)]

From the above stated formula,

I = moment of inertia

m = mass of the pendulum

g = acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 m/s²

d = distance from rotation axis due to center of gravity

Also, moment of Inertia, I = 2mr², if we substitute this in the above formula, we have

T = 2π [√(2mr²/mgd)]

If we assume that our r = d, then we have

T = 2π [√(2r/g)]

If we make r the subject of the formula in the above equation, we get

r = gT² / 8π²

r = (9.8 * 1²) / 8 * π²

r = 9.8 / 78.98

r = 0.124 m

Thus, the radius of the hoop is 0.124 m

disa [49]
The bending of light rays is the result of refraction of light passing through the lens. A converging lens is curved on both sides such that the rays coming out of it come together at a point (converge). The point at which the right rays meet after refraction is called the focal point which is a real in the convex lens.
