Answer:

The length will be less than 1.0 meter.

Explanation:

By Enistien's theory of special relativity the length contraction is given by

L_{f}=L_o\sqrt{1-(\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}})}

Applying the given values we get

L_{f}=1.0\times \sqrt{1-\frac{(0.9c)^{2}}{c^{2}}}\\\\\therefore L_{f}=1.0\times 0.435\\\\L_{f}=0.435meters

Thus the length is less than 1 meter

Junior slides across home plate during a baseball game. If he has a mass of 115 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction betw
tatyana61 [14]

Weight Force of Junior = m g = 115kg x 9.81 m/s^2 = 1128.15N then compute for the friction force


Friction Force= WF x (coefficient of kinetic friction) = 1128.15N x 0.35 =  394.8525N or 395N

 

But you can compute in a straightway:

Solution:

= 115 x 9.81 x 0.35

= 394.85

= 395 N

 

It will still give the same results.

Each of three identical 15.0-L gas cylinders contains 7.50 mol of gas at 295 K. Cylinder A contains He, cylinder B contains O2,
Virty [35]

Answer:

Helium will have the highest average speed

Explanation:

the kinetic molecular theory tells us that the temperature of a gas is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the gas. So since all three gases have the same temperature, they must have the same kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is KE = 0.5mv². How then can a gas with such a small molar mass like helium have the same kinetic energy as much heavier gases like oxygen and sulphur dioxide? By having a much larger average speed

The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 0.3 gm/s. What is the speed of light in meters per second?
klemol [59]

We have to convert Gm/s to m/s.

As  1 \ Gm/s = 10^9 \ m/s

Therefore the speed of light in vacuum,

c = 0.3 \ Gm/s = 0.3 \times 10^9 \ m/s \\\\ c= 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s

Thus, the speed of light in m/s is 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s

TEA [102]
I think the correct answer would be A. If you are waiting to turn left into a small parking lot and a car is approaching from the opposite direction has a turn signal on, then you should wait until the other car starts its turn before making your turn. According to the general law on making a left turn, left turns should yield to the oncoming traffic. The vehicle that arrives in the intersection first would have the right of way to turn left. However, when there are two vehicles arrives at the intersection almost at the same time, then the one on the right would have the right of way.
