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.

Two waves with equal amplitude meet each other, resulting in a wave zero amplitude. Which phenomenon explains this result?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

(D) Interference

Explanation:

Interference is a phenomenon characteristic for waves. When two waves meet, they interfere and result in a new wave. The precise shape of the resultant wave depends on the amplitude, frequency and phase of the constituent waves. In a most basic setting, two types of interference occur: constructive (resultant amplitude increases) and destructive (resultant amplitude decreases).

It shows gas particles leaving the car exhaust what procees
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The gas particles leaving the car exhaust show the process of combustion.

<h3>What is the process of combustion?</h3>

Combustion refers to a chemical process in which a substance reacts with oxygen to give off heat. The original substance is known as the fuel, whereas the source of oxygen is known as the oxidizer. The fuel can be present in solid, liquid, or gas, but for an airplane, the fuel is usually a liquid form. Combustion also called burning that is the basic chemical process of releasing energy from a fuel and air mixture. In an internal combustion engine, the ignition and combustion of the fuel occurs within the engine. The engine converts the energy from the combustion process to work.

So we can conclude that the car releases gases due to the process of combustion.

A body of volume 100cc immersed completely in water contained in a jar. The weight of water and jar before immersion of the body
BlackZzzverrR [31]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

800gm

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Archimedes principle states that when an object is immersed in a liquid there is an apparent loss of weight of the object. This apparent loss of weight is also the upthrust experienced by the liquid. The upthrust is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.

Following from the above statement, when the body of volume 100c.c is immersed in the water contained in the jar, the upthrust experienced is equal to the weight of the water displaced.

<em>Note: In the question, weight is measured just using the mass.</em>

Mass (m) is the product of density (ρ) of liquid (which is water in this case) and volume (v) of body immersed. i.e

m = ρ x v

Where;

ρ = 1 gm/cm³

v = 100c.c = 100cm³

=> m = 1 gm/cm³ x 100cm³

=> m = 100gm

Therefore the weight of water displaced is 100gm

Now, the weight of the water and jar after immersion is the sum of the weight of water and jar before immersion, and the weight of the water displaced. i.e

Weight of water and jar after immersion = 700gm + 100gm = 800gm
