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>

When temperature and pressure are applied to sedimentary and igneous rock?
spin [16.1K]
Answer:

Igneous rock

Explanation:

Igneous rocks are formed through the cooling and solidification of magma. It undergoes changes in temperature and pressure that causes it to cool, solidify, and crystallize.

Two bodies fall freely from different heights and reach the ground simultaneously. The time of descent for the first body is 1s
jok3333 [9.3K]
The initial height of the first body is given by:
h_1 =  \frac{1}{2}gt^2
where
g is the gravitational acceleration
t is the time it takes for the body to reach the ground
Substituting t=1 s, we find
h_1 =  \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(1 s)^2=4.9 m

The second body takes takes t=2 s to reach the ground, so it was located at an initial height of
h_2 =  \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(2 s)^2=19.6 m

The second body started its fall 1 second before the first body, therefore when the second body started its fall, the first body was located at its initial height, i.e. at 4.9 m from the ground.

Two long, straight wires are parallel and 16 cm apart. One carries a current of 2.9 A, the other a current of 5.7 A. (a) If the
Mnenie [13.5K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between two long wires, d = 16 cm = 0.16 m

Current in one wire, I_1=2.9\ A

Current in wire 2, I_2=5.7\ A    

The magnetic force per unit length of one wire on the other is given by the following expression as :

\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_o I_1I_2}{2\pi d}

\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 2.9\times 5.7}{2\pi \times 0.16}

\dfrac{F}{l}=2.06\times 10^{-5}\ N/m

The current is flowing in opposite direction, the magnetic force acting on it is repulsive. Hence, this is the required solution.
