A spacecraft flies away from the earth with a speed of 4.80×106m/s relative to the earth and then returns at the same speed. The

spacecraft carries an atomic clock that has been carefully synchronized with an identical clock that remains at rest on earth. The spacecraft returns to its starting point 365 days (1 year) later, as measured by the clock that remained on earth. What is the difference in elapsed time on the two clocks,measured in hour?

Answer:

1.1215 h

Explanation:

Δt=Δt_o/√(1-u^2/c^2)

(Δt° is the proper time in the rest frame,

Δt is the time intent measured in the second frame of reference u is the speed of the second frame with respect to the rest frame c is the speed of light )  

a) the proper time is the time on spacecraft (rest frame);

Δt = 365 days = 8760 h  

Δt=Δt_o/√(1-u^2/c^2)= 8761.1215 h

the difference = 8761.1215 h — 8760 h   = 1.1215 h

If a road does not have a bicycle lane, where must a bicyclist ride their bicycle?
DIA [1.3K]
A bicyclist can ride their bicycle still on the road. Bicycle riders be able to take the public ways which has the similar rights and accountability as motorists and are subject to the same guidelines and protocols. The law says that individuals who ride bikes should ride as nearby to the right side of the road as likely excluding under the following conditions: when passing, preparing for a left go, evading risks, if the lane is too constricted to share, or if oncoming a place where a right turn is approved. In a road which has a bike lane the bicyclists roving slower than road traffic must custom the bike way excluding when creating a left turn, passing, evading hazardous settings, or impending a place where a right turn is approved.

Why is it a good idea to start with room temperature water in the calorimeter?
densk [106]

Explanation:

It is a good idea to start with room temperature water in the calorimeter because the room temperature water helps to determine the heating up/cooling down because of the environment as the experiment takes place. Because the calorimeter heat is the same as the heat of the water.

One side of the moon always faces Earth because the time it takes the moon to spin on its axis is blank the time it takes the mo
Kamila [148]
The word to fill in the blank is "equal". Because the time taken to rotate (spin on its axis) is equal to the time of revolution (going around the earth), this means that both have the same rate of angular rotation. So for every bit that the moon goes around its orbit around earth, the moon itself rotates accordingly to present the exact same side to earth.
