Answer:

The efficiency of the ramp is, Eff = 6.63 %

Explanation:

Given,

The work done by the person pushing the furniture up the ramp is, W₁ = 1240 J

The work done by the ramp is, W₀ = 822 J

The efficiency of the ramp is given by the formula,

Eff = ( W₀ / W₁ ) x 100%

= ( 822 / 12400 ) x 100%

= 6.63 %

Hence, the efficiency of the ramp is, Eff = 6.63 %

Answer:

Time according to earth clock (T0) = 0.22 years (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Time taken by light = 4.5 years

Time taken by ship = 5 years

Speed of light = c

Speed of ship (v) = 90% of c = 0.9c

Find:

Time according to earth clock (T0) = ?

Computation:

Time dilation is ,

$T(Difference) = \frac{T0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }\\\\ (5-4.5)= \frac{T0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.9c)^2}{c^2} } }\\\\ 0.5=\frac{T0}{\sqrt{1-0.81} }\\\\T0 =0.2179$

Time according to earth clock (T0) = 0.22 years (Approx)
