Suppose you are in a spaceship traveling at 99% of the speed of light past a long, narrow space station. Your direction of trave

l is parallel to the length of the station. If you measure lengths of objects on the station and also how time is passing on the station, what results will you get?
A) Lengths will appear shorter and time will appear to pass slower.
B) Lengths will appear shorter and time will appear to pass faster.
C) Lengths will appear shorter and time will appear to pass faster.

Answer:

A. Lengths will appear shorter and time will appear to pass slower.  

Explanation:

From theory of relativity, we know that:

L₀ = length of object, measured in stationary frame of reference

L = length of object measured from a frame moving with respect to object, called ‘relativistic length’

v = relativistic speed between observer and the object

c = speed of light

then,

L = L₀ √(1-v²/c² )

Hence, the length of the object decreases with the increase in its relativistic speed "v"

t₀ = time measured by clock at rest with respect to event.

t = time measured by clock in motion relative to the event

v = relativistic speed between observer and the object

c = speed of light

then,

t =  t₀/√(1-v²/c² )

Hence, the time increases with the increase in in relativistic speed and as a result it appears to pass slower.

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>A. Lengths will appear shorter and time will appear to pass slower.</u>

1. If a fast-moving car making a loud noise approaches and moves past the person, what will happen as the distance between the t
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
<span>So we want to know what will happen when the fast moving car that is making loud noise that is initially approaching the person, passes the person and starts to move away. So Doppler effect is a phenomenon where when the source of a sound is approaching a person, the person hears the sound as higher than if the source was standing still with respect to the person because the wavelength is getting shorter, and as the source is moving avay from the person the sound is getting deeper because the wavelength is getting longer. So the correct answer is A. </span>

A wire 2.80 m in length carries a current of 5.60 A in a region where a uniform magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.300 T. Calcu
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Complete question:

A wire 2.80 m in length carries a current of 5.60 A in a region where a uniform magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.300 T. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire assuming the following angles between the magnetic field and the current.

a) 60 ⁰

b) 90 ⁰

c) 120 ⁰

Answer:

(a) When the angle, θ = 60 ⁰,  force = 4.07 N

(b) When the angle, θ = 90 ⁰,  force = 4.7 N

(c) When the angle, θ = 120 ⁰,  force = 4.07 N

Explanation:

Given;

length of the wire, L = 2.8 m

current carried by the wire, I = 5.6 A

magnitude of the magnetic force, F = 0.3 T

The magnitude of the magnetic force is calculated as follows;

F = BIl \ sin(\theta)

(a) When the angle, θ = 60 ⁰

F = BIl \ sin(\theta)\\\\F = 0.3 \times 5.6 \times 2.8 \times sin(60)\\\\F = 4.07 \ N

(b) When the angle, θ = 90 ⁰

F = BIl \ sin(\theta)\\\\F = 0.3 \times 5.6 \times 2.8 \times sin(90)\\\\F = 4.7 \ N

(c) When the angle, θ = 120 ⁰

F = BIl \ sin(\theta)\\\\F = 0.3 \times 5.6 \times 2.8 \times sin(120)\\\\F = 4.07 \ N
