Answer:
The arrow is at a height of 500 feet at time t = 2.35 seconds.
Explanation:
It is given that,
An arrow is shot vertically upward at a rate of 250 ft/s, v₀ = 250 ft/s
The projectile formula is given by :
We need to find the time(s), in seconds, the arrow is at a height of 500 ft. So,
On solving the above quadratic equation, we get the value of t as, t = 2.35 seconds
So, the arrow is at a height of 500 feet at time t = 2.35 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
Explanation:
a. The equation of Lorentz transformations is given by:
x = γ(x' + ut')
x' and t' are the position and time in the moving system of reference, and u is the speed of the space ship. x is related to the observer reference.
x' = 0
t' = 5.00 s
u =0.800 c,
c is the speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s
Then,
γ = 1 / √ (1 - (u/c)²)
γ = 1 / √ (1 - (0.8c/c)²)
γ = 1 / √ (1 - (0.8)²)
γ = 1 / √ (1 - 0.64)
γ = 1 / √0.36
γ = 1 / 0.6
γ = 1.67
Therefore, x = γ(x' + ut')
x = 1.67(0 + 0.8c×5)
x = 1.67 × (0+4c)
x = 1.67 × 4c
x = 1.67 × 4 × 3×10⁸
x = 2.004 × 10^9 m
x ≈ 2 × 10^9 m
Now, to find t we apply the same analysis:
but as x'=0 we just have:
t = γ(t' + ux'/c²)
t = γ•t'
t = 1.67 × 5
t = 8.35 seconds
b. Mavis reads 5 s on her watch which is the proper time.
Stanley measured the events at a time interval longer than ∆to by γ,
such that
∆t = γ ∆to = (5/3)(5) = 25/3 = 8.3 sec which is the same as part (b)
c. According to Stanley,
dist = u ∆t = 0.8c (8.3) = 2 x 10^9 m
which is the same as in part (a)
Answer:
self-contained, short-term light-source
Explanation:
Answer: B. If an object's velocity is changing,it's either experiencing acceleration or deceleration.
Acceleration is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. This implies that if an object is changing it's velocity it is experiencing acceleration/ deceleration.
Acceleration is a vector quantity that has both a magnitude and time.
It is represented as
Acceleration= change in velocity/time.
The SI unit for acceleration is m/s^2
The photon can be absorbed and the energy of the photon is exactly equal to the energy-level difference between the ground state and the level d.
