A rocket train car that is 30 m long is traveling from Los Angeles to New York at v=0.5c when a light at the center of the car f

lashes. When the light reaches the front of the car, it immediately rings a bell. Light reaching the back of the car immediately sounds a siren. A bicyclist waiting to cross the tracks sees the light in front of her at the instant when it flashes. Choose frame S' so that its origin is located at the center of the train. Take the direction of motion of the train (eastward) to be the positive direction of x'. Let the instant when the light flashes be t′=0s.

Answer: The reference frame of a passenger in a seat near the center of the train

Explanation:

the speed of light is the same for the passenger and the bicyclist

then the avents are simultaneous fo the passenger not for the bicyclist

the delay between the two events for the bicyclist is

Δt=Δd/vs

where

Δd= lenght of train

vs=speed of sound

the reference frame of a passenger in a seat near the center of the train

Solution:

The space and time transformations are:

x' = γ(x - vt)

t' = γ(t - vx/c²).

In the primed frame the two events are simultaneous, so that Δt' = 0. Also here Δx' = 30. In the unprimed frame Δx' = 30 = γ(Δx - v Δt).......(*)

We also have Δt' = 0 = γ(Δt - vΔx/c²)→Δx = c²Δt/v......(**)

Substituting (**) in (*): 30 = γ(c²Δt/v - vΔt))→Δt = 30/(c²/v - v) =

30/(2c - 0.5c) = 6.7 x 10^(-8)s

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:      Ep = 14715 Joules

Explanation:

Data

mass = 50 kg

Potential energy = ?

height = 30 m

g = 9.81 m/s²

Equation

                Ep = mgh

Substitution

                     Ep = (50)(9.81)(30)

                     Ep = 14715 Joules

ipn [44]

Answer:

Plasma

Explanation:

A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is an outburst of energy that occurs near the outer part of the sun's atmosphere which causes a production of plasma along with a magnetic field.

The outermost part of the sun's atmosphere is called the Solar Corona Although difficult to see, the corona can be seen during a total solar eclipse.

Plasma from CME are clouds of magnetized electrically charged particles which the solar wind causes to travel at a speed of 1.6 million km/hr.
