Answer:

c)They can also be simultaneous in S if their separation is zero.

Explanation:

By relativity theory, we can say two events when seen from two different reference frames can only be simultaneous when they are at the same space location and occur simultaneously in at least one reference frame, therefore when Frame S′ usually passes Frame S. Two occurrences in S′ are simultaneous, therefore these occurrences can be simultaneous in S when their separation is 0 (that is they are at the same location)

And therefore option c. If their separation is zero, they can also be simultaneous in S.

A 5.0-kilogram sphere, starting from rest, falls freely 22 meters in 3.0 seconds near the surface of a planet. Compared to the a

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

C) one-half as great

Explanation:

We can calculate the acceleration of gravity in that planet, using the following kinematic equation:

$\Delta x=v_0t+\frac{gt^2}{2}$

In this case, the sphere starts from rest, so $v_0=0$ . Replacing the given values and solving for g':

$g'=\frac{2\Delta x}{t^2}\\g'=\frac{2(22m)}{(3s)^2}\\g'=4.89\frac{m}{s^2}$

The acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface is $g=9.8\frac{m}{s^2}$ . So, the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is approximately one-half of the acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface.

A grating whose slits are 3.2x10^-4 cm apart produces a third-order fringe at a 25.°0 angle. What is the wavelength of light tha

Ber [7]

Answer:

The light used has a wavelenght of 4.51×10^-7 m.

Explanation:

let:

n be the order fringe

Ф be the angle that the light makes

d is the slit spacing of the grating

λ be the wavelength of the light

then, by Bragg's law:

n×λ = d×sin(Ф)

λ = d×sin(Ф)/n

λ = (3.2×10^-4 cm)×sin(25.0°)/3

= 4.51×10^-5 cm

≈ 4.51×10^-7 m

Therefore, the light used has a wavelenght of 4.51×10^-7 m.
