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>

The 10-lb block has a speed of 4 ft/s when the force of f=(8t2)f=(8t2) lb is applied. determine the velocity of the block when t
KatRina [158]

The velocity of the block when t == 2 s is 60.7 ft./sec.

Equations of Motion.

Here the friction is F_f = \mu_k N = 0.2 N

+ \uparrow \sum F_y = ma_y; \quad N – 10 = \frac { 10 } { 32.2 }(0) \quad N = 10 lb \\ \begin{aligned} \underrightarrow{ + } \sum F_x = ma_x; \quad 8t^2 – 0.2(10 &) = \frac { 10 } { 32.2 }a \\ & a = 3.22(8t^2 – 2) ft/s^2 \end{aligned}

Kinematics.

The velocity of the block as a function of t can be determined by

integrating dv = adt using the initial condition v = 4 ft./s at t = 0.

\int_{ 4 ft/s }^{ v } dv = \int_0^t 3.22(8t^2 – 2)dt \\ \begin{aligned} v – &4 = 3.22 (\frac 8 3 t^3 – 2t) \\ & v = \{8.5867t^3 – 6.44t + 4 \} ft/s \end{aligned}

The displacement as a function of t can be determined by integrating

ds = vdt using

the initial condition s = 0 at t = 0

\int_0^s ds = \int_0^t (8.5867t^3 – 6.44t + 4)dt \\ s = \{2.1467t^4 – 3.22t^2 + 4t \} ft

at t = 2 sec

s = 30 ft.

Thus, at s = 30 ft.,

\begin{aligned} v &= 8.5867(2.0089^3) – 6.44(2.0089) + 4 \\ &= 60.67 ft/s \\ &= 60.7 ft/s \end{aligned}

Kinematics is a subfield of physics, developed in classical mechanics, that describes the motion of points, bodies (objects), and systems of bodies (groups of objects) without considering the forces that cause them to move.

Kinematics, as a field of study, is often referred to as the "geometry of motion" and is occasionally seen as a branch of mathematics. A kinematics problem begins by describing the geometry of the system and declaring the initial conditions of any known values of position, velocity and/or acceleration of points within the system.

Then, using arguments from geometry, the position, velocity and acceleration of any unknown parts of the system can be determined. The study of how forces act on bodies falls within kinetics, not kinematics. For further details, see analytical dynamics.

Imani stirs a cup of hot sencha tea with a cool silver spoon. She notices that the silver spoon becomes warmer. What energy chan
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

D. The tea loses heat to the spoon causing the spoon to become warmer

Explanation:

When the silver spoon at a lower temperature than the tea, is added to the tea, it makes thermal contact. Hence, the heat transfer starts between the two until the equilibrium is reached. We know that the heat transfer takes place from the body with a higher temperature to a body with a lower temperature. As a result, the body with higher temperature loses heat and its temperature lowers down. While the body with a lower temperature gains heat and its temperature rises.

Therefore, the correct option is:

<u>D. The tea loses heat to the spoon causing the spoon to become warmer</u>

Consider two sizes of disk, both of mass M. One size of disk has radius R; the other has radius 4R. System A consists of two of
Harman [31]

Answer:

4 smaller disks

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of smaller and larger disks = M

Radius of smaller disk = R

Radius of larger disk = 4R

Formula for moment of inertia about cylinder axis is:

I = ½MR²

Thus;

For small disk, I_small = ½MR²

For large disk, I_large = ½M(2R)² = 2MR²

We are told that moment of inertia of System A consists of two of the larger disks. Thus;

I_A = 2 × I_large = 2 × 2MR²

I_A = 4MR²

We are also told that System B consists of one of the larger disks and a number of the smaller disks. Thus;

I_B = I_large + n(I_small)

Where n is the number of smaller disks.

I_B = 2MR² + n(½MR²)

I_B = MR²(2 + n/2)

We are told that the moment of inertia for system A equals the moment of inertia for system B. Thus;

I_A = I_B

So;

4MR² = MR²(2 + n/2)

MR² will cancel out to give;

4 = 2 + n/2

Multiply through by 2 to give;

8 = 4 + n

n = 8 - 4

n = 4
