When you approach a light source that in turn is moving towards you, your speed relative to the emitted light waves _____.?

2 answers:

7 0

This is a trick question:

The Doppler effect states that as you move closer to the source, the frequency of light(or sound/waves in general) increases, but technically the speed of light is always the same speed, even if you are moving at the speed of light.

Thus, the answer would be something along the lines of <u>don't change</u>.

Remains constant.....it's not like sound in which there is Doppler effect....so I guess it will be constant...as Albert Einstein said !

Alana is skateboarding at 19 km/h and throws a tennis ball at 11 km/h to her friend Oliver who is behind her leaning against a w

NNADVOKAT [17]

The speed of the tennis ball is 8 km/h when Alana throws the ball behind at the speed of 11 km/h.

<h3>What is the frame of reference?</h3>

It is a point from where the motion is observed. The speed changes with the frame of reference.

For the person standstill on the sidewalk, If Alana throw the ball in the front direction, The speed will be,

19+11 = 30 km/h

It Alana just leave the ball, the speed,

19 +0 = 19 km/h

If Alana throws the ball behind her at the speed of 19 km/h. The speed of the ball for a sidewalk observer,

19 +(-19 ) = 0 km/h

Thus, when Aana throw the ball behind the velocity will be negative,

So,

19 + (-11 ) = 8 km/h

Therefore, the speed of the tennis ball is 8 km/h when Alana throws the ball behind at the speed of 11 km/h.

In the Biomedical and Physical Sciences building at MSU there are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor. Each step

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

W = 16.5 Kj

P = 49.9 Watt

E = 16471

Explanation:

m = 73.5kg

t = 5min 30sec = (5×60) + 30 = 330sec

each step = 16.6cm = 0.166m

h = 135×0.166 = 22.41 m

g = 10 m/s²

(i) W = F × s = W × h = mgh

W = 73.5×10×22.41 = 16471.35

W = 16.5 Kj

(ii) Power = workdone/time

P = 16471.35/330

P = 49.9 Watt

(iii) The energy burnt in this process = 16471

The Millennium Falcon was constructed 43.6 m long. a) How fast is it traveling past Luke when he measures its length to be 30.1

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

a)0.5564c

b)43.6 m

Explanation:

Given proper length of falcrum L₀= 43.6 m

improper length L=30.1 m (when viewed from moving frame)

we know that $L=L_{0}\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$30.1=43.6\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}$

⇒ $\{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$ = $\frac{30.1}{43.6}$

${1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}=0.6904$

$\frac{v^2}{c^2}=0.3096$

$v^{2}=3096c^{2}$

v=0.5564c

this is the required speed of falcon when it passes luke

b). Since Han solo is on the Falcon its reference frame will be falcon itself hence there wont be any change in the length of Falcon that its length will be

43.6 m

Summerize how friction and inertia act on an object sliding on a flat surface

natta225 [31]

Inertia is when a object in motion will stay in motion or in a standing still state unless acted upon by a unbalancing force.
Friction is when a object slows down because it is rubbing against another object.

If a object is sliding across a surface, theoretically, it would not stop but because it is on a flat surface it would experience friction, this will disperse some of the kinetic energy that it has thus slowing the object down eventually, after some time, to a stop.

Hope this helps! :)

Why do solar eclipses happen only during a new moon?

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

For a solar eclipse to occur the moon must be between the earth and the sun (the light of the sun is blocked)'

By definition this is a new moon (which occurs when the moon cannot be seen because it is located between the sun and the earth).
