An interstellar space probe is launched from Earth. After a brief period of acceleration it moves with a constant velocity, 70.0

% of the speed of light. Its nuclear-powered batteries supply the energy to keep its data transmitter active continuously. The batteries have a lifetime of 15.9 years as measured in a rest frame. (a) How long do the batteries on the space probe last as measured by mission control on Earth?
yr
(b) How far is the probe from Earth when its batteries fail, as measured by mission control?
ly
(c) How far is the probe from Earth, as measured by its built-in trip odometer; when its batteries fail?
ly

Answer:

22.26 years

, 15.585 light years  , 11.13 light years

Explanation:

a)

t' = t/(\sqrt{1-(v/(c*v)/c)}

= 15.9/\sqrt{(1-0.7*0.7)}

= 22.26 years

b)

0.7*c*22.26 years

=15.585 light years  

c)

0.7*c*15.9

=11.13 light years

Some students set up a circuit and decided to measure the voltage at different points around
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

 V₁ = 6 V ,  V₂ = V₃ = 3 V

Explanation:

To solve this circuit we must remember that there are two fundamental types of construction in series and parallel.

* a serial circuit there is only one path for current

in this circuit the constant current in the entire circuit and the voltage is the sum of the voltage of each term

* Parallel circuit in this there are two or more paths for the current

in this circuit the voltage is constant and the east is divided between each branch

with these principles let's analyze the proposed circuit

The DC battery is in parallel with resistor R1 and the equivalent of the other branch,

as in a parallel circuit the voltage is constant

               V₁ = 6 V

in the other branch (23) it forms a series construction, where the current is constant

               6 = iR₂ + iR₃

as they indicate that each resistance has the same value

              6 = 2 iR

              V = V₂ = V₃ = 3 V

What is the number of electrons that move past a point in a wire carrying 500 A of current in 4.0 minutes
mr Goodwill [35]
The current is defined as the amount of charge Q that passes through a given point of a wire in a time \Delta t:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
Since I=500 A and the time interval is
\Delta t=4.0 min=240 s
the charge is
Q=I \Delta t=(500 A)(240 s)=1.2 \cdot 10^5 C

One electron has a charge of q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C, therefore the number of electrons that pass a point in the wire during 4 minutes is
N= \frac{Q}{q}= \frac{1.2 \cdot 10^5 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C}=7.5 \cdot 10^{23} electrons

Find the intensity in decibels [i(db)] for each value of i. normal conversation: i = 106i0 i(db) = power saw a 3 feet: i = 1011i
White raven [17]

Answer:

Normal Conversation: i=106i0

i(dB)=60

Power saw a 3 feet: i=1011i0

i(dB)=110

Jet engine at 100 feet: i=1018i0

i(dB)=180

Explanation:

if these are the same as edge, then these are the answers! :)
