Two observers in different inertial reference frames moving relative to each other at nearly the speed of light see the same two

events but, using precise equipment, record different time intervals between the two events. Which of the following is true of their measurements?
(a)One observer is incorrect, but it is impossible to tell which one.
(b)One observer is incorrect, and it is possible to tell which one.
(c)Both observers are incorrect.
(d)Both observers are correct.

Answer:

The correct answer is d Both the observer's are correct

Explanation:

We know by postulates of relativity that laws of physics are same in different inertial frames.

Thus for each of the frames they make observations related to their frames and since the observations are true for their individual frames they both are correct. But when we compare the two frames we need to use transformation equations to compare both the results.

A car is traveling at 50 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied, producing a constant deceleration of 38 ft/s2. what is the dist
e-lub [12.9K]

Convert 38 ft/s^2 to mi/h^2. Then we se the conversion factor > 1 mile = 5280 feet and 1 hour = 3600 seconds.

So now we show it > 38  \frac{ft}{s^2}  x  \frac{1mi}{5280ft} x  \frac{(3600s)^2}{(1h)^2} = 93272.27  \frac{mi}{h^2}

Then we have to use the formula of constant acceleration to determine the distance traveled by the car before it ended up stopping.

Which the formula for constant acceleration would be > v_2^2=v_1^2 + 2as

The initial velocity is 50mi/h (v_1=50)

When it stops the final velocity is (v_2=0)

Since the given is deceleration it means the number we had gotten earlier would be a negative so a = -93272.27

Then we substitute the values in....

0^2 = 50^2 + 2(-93272.27)s

0 = 2500 - 186544.54s

Isolate S next.

185644.54s= 2500

s =  2500/(185644.54)

s=0.0134


So we can say the car stopped at 0.0134 miles before it came to a stop but to express the distance traveled in feet we need to use the conversion factor of 1 mile = 5280 feet in otherwards > 0.0134 mi *  \frac{5280ft}{1mi}  = 70.8 ft
So this means that the car traveled in feet 70.8 ft before it came to a stop.

Using at least 3 to 4 complete content related sentences describe the first and second postulate of special relativity.
Andrew [12]
Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. As such, perceptions of objects and time change as they approach light speed, but the laws of physics remain consistent regardless of speed. Objects will appear shortened and time will appear to slow down around an observer approaching near light speeds, but all quantities still exist as they did before and all causality is preserved, even if observers in different points or traveling at different speeds will report different things.

What aspect of speech sound is the primary factor in determining if one perceives the /ba/ sound or the /pa/ sound?
nignag [31]
The answer is voice onset time. It is a part of the production of stop consonants. Its definition is the length of time that passes between the release of a stop consonant and the start of the voicing and the vibration of the vocal folds.
