Answer:

The contracted length as measured is 22.22 m

Solution:

As per the question:

Speed of the rockets, v = 0.8c

Length of the rocket, L =  100 m

Now,

To calculate the length of rocket A w.r.t rocket B:

The relative speed of the rockets A and B approaching the earth from the opposite directions:

Relative speed,\ v_{r} = \frac{- 0.8c - 0.8c}{1 + \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}

v_{r} = \frac{- 1.6c}{1 + \frac{(0.8c)^{2}}{c^{2}}} = 0.975c

The contracted length is given by:

L' = \frac{L}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v_{r}^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

L' = \frac{100}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.975c)^{2}}{c^{2}}}} = 22.22\ m

Zarrin [17]
We use the Rydberg Equation for this which is expressed as:

<span>1/ lambda = R [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(n1)^2]
</span>
where lambda is the wavelength, where n represents the final and initial states. Brackett series means that the initial orbit that electron was there is 4 and R is equal to 1.0979x10^7m<span>. Thus,
</span>
1/ lambda = R [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(n1)^2]
1/1.0979x10^7m = 1.0979x10^7m [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(4)^2]

Solving for n2, we obtain n=1.

An object in static equilibrium has a coefficient of static friction as 0.110. If the normal force acting on the object is 95.0
igomit [66]

Answer:

mass = 9.7 kg

Explanation:

As we know that when object is at rest on the ground of flat base then we will have

N - mg = 0

so from here

N = mg

now we have

N = 95 Newton

now from above equation we will have

95 = m\times g

95 = m\times 9.8

m = 9.7 kg

An object has a weight of 9 n when it is in air and 7.2 n when it is submerged into water. what is the specific gravity of the o
White raven [17]

The specific gravity of the object’s material is 5.09.

<h3>To calculate the specific gravity of the object:</h3>

Weight difference = 9 - 7.2 = 1.8 N = Buoyant force of water

Buoyant Force in water(Fb) = density of water x g x volume of the   body(Vb)

1.8 = 1000 x 9.81 x Vb

Vb = 1.8/9810 cubic meter

Now, in the air;

Weight of body = mg = 9 N

Mass of body,m = 9/9.81 Kg

So,

Density of body = m/ Vb

= 9/9.81 ÷ 1.8/9810

= 5094.44 kg per cubic meter

The specific gravity of body = density of body ÷ density of water

= 5094.44 ÷ 1000

= 5.09

Therefore, Specific gravity of body = 5.09

Astronomers use a wide variety of technology to explore space and the electromagnetic spectrum; why do you believe it is essenti
Alex73 [517]

Universe contains billions and billions of stars, galaxies, planets, asteroids, comets and many more different type of bodies. These objects emit radiations of varied frequency. In order to study these different kind of objects, different kind of technology is required. There are different type of missions: some contain probes which land on the surface, some orbit the bodies etc. These are for solar system. Yet some are space observatories having detectors to study light from distant objects. Further, there are different detectors for different wavelengths of electromagnetic spectrum.
