A spaceship travels toward the Earth at a speed of 0.97c. The occupants of the ship are standing with their torsos parallel to t

he direction of travel. According to Earth observers, they are about 0.50 m tall and 0.50 m wide. Calculate what the occupants’ height and width according to the others on the spaceship?

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply length contraction einstein's relativistic formula to calculate the length observed by observer on the earth . For the observer , increased length will be observed for an observer on the earth

L=\frac{.5}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{.97c}{c})^2 } }

L=\frac{.5}{.24}

L= 2.05

The length will appear to be 2.05 m . and width will appear to be .5 m  to the observer on the spaceship. . It is so because it is length which is moving parallel to the direction of travel. Width will remain unchanged.

A tank contains 0.568 mol of molecular nitrogen (N2). Determine the mass (in grams) of nitrogen that must be removed from the ta
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

\Delta M = 7.812 gm

Explanation:

we know that for ideal gag we have

pV =nRT

Since volume, gas constant R and T are constant, so we have

\frac{p}{n]  = constant

\frac{44.7}{0.568} =\frac{22.8}{n}

n = 0.289 mole

hence mass removed\Delta M =( 0.568 - 0.289)*( molecular\ weight\ of \ nitrogen)

\Delta M = (0.568 - 0.289) *28 gm

\Delta M = 7.812 gm

Find an expression for the kinetic energy of the car at the top of the loop.Express the kinetic energy in terms of m, g, h, and
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

K.E₂ = mg(h - 2R)

Explanation:

The diagram of the car at the top of the loop is given below. Considering the initial position of the car and the final position as the top of the loop. We apply law of conservation of energy:

K.E₁ + P.E₁ = K.E₂ + P.E₂

where,

K.E₁ = Initial Kinetic Energy = (1/2)mv² = (1/2)m(0 m/s)² = 0 (car initially at rest)

P.E₁ = Initial Potential Energy = mgh

K.E₂ = Final Kinetic Energy at the top of the loop = ?

P.E₂ = Final Potential Energy = mg(2R) (since, the height at top of loop is 2R)

Therefore,

0 + mgh = K.E₂ + mg(2R)

<u>K.E₂ = mg(h - 2R)</u>

Find the equivalent resistance of this parallel circuit with two strands.
svlad2 [7]
In a parallel circuit, the total resistance calculated from the individual resistances is computed from the formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. substituting R1 and R2, then 
1/Rt = 1/7 + 1/49 
1/Rt = 1/6.125 = 1/ 49/8
Rt = 49/8 <span>Ω

The total resistance hence is </span>49/8 Ω
