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

How does a generator work?
insens350 [35]

An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output.

It is important to understand that a generator does not actually ‘create’ electrical energy. Instead, it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes the flow of water but does not actually ‘create’ the water flowing through it.

The modern-day generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831-32. Faraday discovered that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.

As mass increases what happens to the kinetic energy
AnnyKZ [126]
As mass increases kinetic energy also increases; kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass so whatever is done to either affects the other one the same. i hope this helps :)

<span>During adverse weather conditions such as rain or fog, drivers should take action accordingly by turning on their headlights, slowing down and increasing following distance. Adverse weather means that you are driving in difficult and dangerous conditions. Increasing following distance will help you to maintain safe driving and avoid tailgating. </span>
