Imagine Punch lives on the Earth at rest. Judy is traveling past the earth with a speed of 0.600 c. If a rocket moving in the sa

me direction passes Judy, Punch sees the speed of the rocket to be 0.870 c. What is the speed of the rocket seen by Judy in terms of the speed of the light?

Answer:

0.565 c

Explanation:

v_{J} = velocity of judy relative to punch on earth = 0.600 c

v_{R} = velocity of rocket relative to punch on earth = 0.870 c

v_{RJ} = velocity of rocket relative to judy = ?

velocity of rocket relative to judy is given as

v_{RJ} = \frac{v_{R} - v_{J}}{1 - \frac{v_{R}v_{J}}{c^{2}}}

inserting the values

v_{RJ} = \frac{(0.870 c) - (0.600 c)}{1 - \frac{(0.870 c)(0.600 c)}{c^{2}}}

v_{RJ} = \frac{0.270 c}{0.478}

v_{RJ} = 0.565 c

What is one reason why it is very difficult to directly take a picture of an extrasolar planet?
Setler [38]

Answer:

Extrasolar planets are very dim light sources compared to their stars. At visible wavelengths, they generally have less than a millionth of the brightness of their parent star. It is extremely difficult to detect this type of dim light source, and in addition, the parent star has dazzling light that almost makes it impossible.

A single-turn circular loop of wire that has a radius of 3.5 cm lies in the plane perpendicular to a spatially uniform magnetic
Lena [83]

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the circular loop, r = 3.5 cm = 0.035 m

(a) During a 0.12-s time interval, the magnitude of the field increases uniformly from 0.2 T to 0.5 T. Due to the change in the magnetic field, an emf will induced in it. The magnitude of induced emf is given by :

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d(BA)}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=-\pi r^2\dfrac{B_f-B_i}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=-\pi (0.035)^2\dfrac{0.5-0.2}{0.12}\\\\\epsilon=-9.62\times 10^{-3}\ volts

So, the magnitude of the emf induced in the loop during the time interval is 9.62\times 10^{-3}\ V.

(b) The negative sign shows that the direction of induced emf in the loop is in anitclockwise direction.

The force that must be exerted on the outside wheel to lift the anchor at constant speed is 6.925 x 10⁵ N.

<h3>Force exerted outside the wheel</h3>

The force exerted on the outside of the wheel can be determined by applying the principle of conservation of angular momentum as shown below.

∑τ = 0

  • Let the distance traveled by the load = 1.5 m
  • Let the radius of the wheel or position of the force = 0.45 m

∑τ = R(mg) - r(F)

rF = R(mg)

0.45F = 1.5(21,200 x 9.8)

F = 6.925 x 10⁵ N.

Thus, the force that must be exerted on the outside wheel to lift the anchor at constant speed is 6.925 x 10⁵ N.
