Two spaceships are observed from earth to be approaching each other along a straight line. Ship A moves at 0.40c relative to the

earth observer, while ship B moves at 0.60c relative to the same observer. What speed does the captain of ship A report for the speed of ship B

Answer:

0.80 c

Explanation:

The computation of speed is shown below:-

Here, The speed of the captain ship A report for speed of the ship B which is

S = \frac{S_A + S_B}{1 + \frac{(S_AS_B)}{c^2} }

where

S_A indicates the speed of the ship A

S_B indicates the speed of the ship B

and

C indicates the velocity of life

now we will Substitute 0.40c for A and 0.60 for B in the equation which is

S = \frac{0.40c + 0.60c}{1 + \frac{(0.40c)(0.60c)}{c^2} }

after solving the above equation we will get

0.80 c

So, The correct answer is 0.80c

1. Was your hypothesis correct? Why or why not?
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

1. Upon analysis of the results, a hypothesis can be rejected or modified, but it can never be proven to be correct 100 percent of the time. For example, relativity has been tested many times, so it is generally accepted as true, but there could be an instance, which has not been encountered, where it is not true.

2.Mass is the amount of matter in a body, normally measured in grams or kilograms etc. Weight is a force that pulls on a mass and is measured in Newtons. So on Earth, Weight would be your (mass x acceleration( 9.8 ) . Density, there are lots of kinds of density I guess, but the one you are talking about is density = mass / volume. Density basically means how much mass is occupied in a specific volume or space. Different materials of the same size may have different masses because of its density. Density in this case is measured in kg / m^3 or kg / L or g / m^3 etc where the numerator is a unit of mass and the denominator a unit of volume.

3.The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.

4.  An object will float if the gravitational (downward) force is less than the buoyancy (upward) force. So, in other words, an object will float if it weighs less than the amount of water it displaces. This explains why a rock will sink while a huge boat will float.

A long wave with a period of about 15 minutes will travel across the oceans at a speed of approximately _______.
Temka [501]

The speed of the wave  is mathematically given as

v=2266.66m/s

A long wave with a period of about 15 minutes will travel across the oceans at a speed of approximately v=2266.66m/s

<h3>Speed of the wave</h3>

Question Parameters:

A long wave with a period of about 15 minutes

Generally the equation for the Wave velocity  is mathematically given as

v=\lambda * frequency

Where

f=1/t

Therefore

v=\lambda * frequency

v=\lambda * 1/t

Therefore, with wavelenght of the ocean as 34km

v=34*1000*1/15

v=2266.66m/s

For more information on Speed
