Suppose that A’, B’ and C’ are at rest in frame S’, which moves with respect to S at speed v in the +x direction. Let B’ be loca

ted exactly midway between A’ and C’. At t’=0 a light flash occurs at B’ and expands outward as spherical wave.
1. According to an observer in S’, do the wave fronts arrive at A’ and C’ simultaneously?
2. According to an observer in S, do the wavefronts arrive at A’ and C’ simultaneously?
3. If you answered no to either 1. or 2., what is the difference in their arrival times and at which point did the front arrive first?

Answer:

1) an observer in B 'sees the two simultaneous events

2)observer B sees that the events are not simultaneous

3)  Δt = Δt₀ /√ (1 + v²/c²)

Explanation:

This is an exercise in simultaneity in special relativity. Let us remember that the speed of light is the same in all inertial systems

1) The events are at rest in the reference system S ', so as they advance at the speed of light which is constant, so it takes them the same time to arrive at the observation point B' which is at the point middle of the two events

Consequently an observer in B 'sees the two simultaneous events

2) For an observer B in system S that is fixed on the Earth, see that the event in A and B occur at the same instant, but the event in A must travel a smaller distance and the event in B must travel a greater distance since the system S 'moves with velocity + v. Therefore, since the velocity is constant, the event that travels the shortest distance is seen first.

Consequently observer B sees that the events are not simultaneous

3) let's calculate the times for each event

        Δt = Δt₀ /√ (1 + v²/c²)

where t₀ is the time in the system S' which is at rest for the events

A shoe and a shirt are released from the same height. They take different amounts of time to fall to the ground. How can this be
Law Incorporation [45]

The best explanation for the difference in time is: A. The difference in weight doesn't affect the time, but they are affected differently by air resistance.

<h3>What is weight?</h3>

Weight can be defined as the force acting on an object or a physical body due to the effect of gravity. Also, the weight of an object (body) is typically measured in Newton.

<h3>The factors that affect weight.</h3>

Some of the factors that affect the weight that is possessed by an object or a physical body include the following:

  • Mass
  • Distance
  • Air resistance

In conclusion, the weight possessed by the shoe and shirt has no effect on time but would be affected differently by air resistance.

A maple tree seed fell 180 centimeters straight toward the ground at a constant velocity. It moved that distance in 1.5seconds.
denis23 [38]

Answer: 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity V is defined as the variation of position of an object or body in time. So, if we know the distance the seed traveled and the time, we can calculate its velocity:

V=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

d=180 cm \frac{1 m}{100 cm}=1.8 m is the distance the maple seed traveled

t=1.5 s is the time

Then:

V=\frac{1.8 m}{1.5 s}

V=1.2 m/s This is the seed's velocity

Which properties do metalloids share with metals?
Inga [223]
Metals are not brittle so it can’t be the first one or the third one, both metalloids and metals are shiny so it can’t be the second one. Therefore, it would be the last one because both metalloids and metals are shiny and both are solids at room temperature because it is not a high enough melting point.

ANSWER: Both are shiny and are solid at room temperature.

A polycondensation reaction takes place between 1.2 moles of a dicarboxylic acid, 0.4 moles of glycerol (a triol) and 0.6 moles
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

A) i) using statistical theory of floxy

(Pa)c = 0.816

(Pb)c = 0.816

ii) using Carothers theory

( Pc ) = 0.917

B) To Obtain the measured value of critical extent of reaction ( 0.866) 1 mol of Glycerol  will react with 1 mol of dicarboxylic acid, but the same can not be applied to our obtained value because our stoichiometry is different

Explanation:

Given data :

Polycondensation reaction takes place between : 1.2 moles of dicarboxylic acid , 0.4 moles of glycerol and 0.6 moles of ethylene glycol

A) Calculate the critical extents of reaction for gelation

i) using statistical theory of floxy

(Pa)c = 0.816

(Pb)c = 0.816

ii) using Carothers theory

( Pc ) = 0.917

attached below is the detailed solution

B) To Obtain the measured value of critical extent of reaction ( 0.866) 1 mol of Glycerol  will react with 1 mol of dicarboxylic acid, but the same can not be applied to our obtained value because our stoichiometry is different

Question 1 (1 point)
Dmitry [639]

1). trajectory

2). person sitting in a chair

3). 490 meters

4). 65 m/s

5). False.  The projectile's displacement, velocity, and acceleration have vertical and horizontal components, but the projectile doesn't.

6). False

7). The vertical component of a projectile doesn't change due to gravity, but the vertical components of its displacement, velocity, and acceleration do.

The vertical components do NOT equal the horizontal components.

8). Decreasing if you include the effects of air resistance.  Constant if you don't.  Gravity has no effect on horizontal velocity.

9). We can't see the simulation.  But if the projectile doesn't have jets on it, then as it travels upward, its vertical velocity must decrease, because gravity is trying to not let it get away.

10). We can't see the simulation.  But if the projectile is traveling downward, we would call that "falling", and its vertical velocity must increase, because gravity is pulling it downward.
