Answer:

4.245s

Explanation:

Given that,

Hypothetical value of speed of light in a vacuum is 18 m/s

Speed of the car, 14 m/s

Time given is 6.76 s, and we're asked to find the observed time, T

The relationship between the two times can be given as

T = t / √[1 - (v²/c²)]

The missing variable were looking for is t, and we can find it if we rearrange the formula and make t the subject

t = T / √[1 - (v²/c²)]

And now, we substitute the values and insert into the equation

t = 6.76 * √[1 - (14²/18²)]

t = 6.76 * √[1 - (196/324)]

t = 6.76 * √(1 - 0.605)

t = 6.76 * √0.395

t = 6.76 * 0.628

t = 4.245 s

Therefore, the time the driver measures for the trip is 4.245s

A 45 N girl sits on a bench 0.6 meters off the ground. How much work is done on the bench?
ycow [4]

Answer: 27 joules

Explanation:

Work is done when force is applied on the bench over a distance. it is measured in joules.

Workdone = force x distance

= 45 N x 0.6 metres

= 27 joules

Thus, 27 joules of work is done on the bench.
