Answer: Time and space depend on reference frames, but the speed of light does not.

Explanation: According to Einstein Space and Time are directly related as the way we sense them, in his words space and time is like a fabric in which we cannot affect one without affecting the other as we interact with it, time can be stretched and squeezed depending on your inertial frame of reference (constant speed and mass). However light can travel thru the fabric of space and time and it does not get affected by any reference keeping always the same speed.

A mass m neutron has elastic collision with a mass m'

hoa [83]

Answer:

The neutron loses all of its kinetic energy to nucleus.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of neutron is 'm' and mass of nucleus is 'm'.

The type of collision is elastic collision.

In elastic collision, there is no loss in kinetic energy of the system. So, total kinetic energy is conserved. Also, the total momentum of the system is conserved.

Here, the nucleus is still. So, its initial kinetic energy is 0. So, the total initial kinetic energy will be equal to kinetic energy of the neutron only.

Now, final kinetic energy of the system will be equal to the initial kinetic energy.

Now, as the nucleus was at rest initially, so the final kinetic energy of the nucleus will be equal to the initial kinetic energy of the neutron.

Thus, all the kinetic energy of the neutron will be transferred to the nucleus and the neutron will come to rest after collision.

Therefore, the neutron loses all of its kinetic energy to nucleus.

Joey drives along the 110 South freeway and notices a mile marker that reads 260 miles. He drives until he reaches the 150 mile

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

85 miles .

Explanation:

Displacement along the 110 South freeway = 260 - 150 = 110 miles

Displacement along the 110 North freeway = 150 - 175 = - 25 miles

Net displacement = 110 - 25 = 85 miles

So Joey's displacement from the 260 mile marker is 85 miles .

A(n) 55.5 g ball is dropped from a height of 53.6 cm above a spring of negligible mass. The ball compresses the spring to a maxi

Serggg [28]

Answer:

The spring force constant is $k=243\ \frac{N}{m}$ .

Explanation:

We are told the mass of the ball is $m=0.0555\ kg$ , the height above the spring where the ball is dropped is $h=0.536\ m$ , the length the ball compresses the spring is $d=0.04897\ m$ and the acceleration of gravity is $9.8\ \frac{m}{s^{2}}$ .

We will consider the initial moment to be when the ball is dropped and the final moment to be when the ball stops, compressing the spring. We supose that there is no friction so the initial mechanical energy $E_{mi}$ is equal to the final mechanical energy $E_{mf}$ :

$E_{mf}=E_{mi}$

Initially there is only gravitational potential energy because the force of the spring isn't present and the speed is zero. In the final moment there is only elastic potential energy because the height is zero and the ball has stopped. So we have that:

$\frac{1}{2}kd^{2}=mgh$

If we manipulate the equation we have that:

$k=\frac{2mgh}{d^{2} }$

$k=\frac{2\ 0.0555\ kg\ 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}\ 0.536\ m}{(0.04897)^{2}m^{2}}$

$k=\frac{0.58306\ \frac{kgm^{2}}{s^{2}}}{2.398x10^{-3}m^{2}}$

$k=243\ \frac{N}{m}$
