How many light years away is the sun from the middle of the Millky way​

Physics
1 answer:
julsineya [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The Milky Way is about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 km (about 100,000 light years or about 30 kpc) across. The Sun does not lie near the center of our Galaxy. It lies about 8 kpc from the center on what is known as the Orion Arm of the Milky Way

A rocket travels in the x-direction at speed 0.70c with respect to the earth. An experimenter on the rocket observes a collision
marishachu [46]

Answer:

A) The space time coordinate x of the collision in Earth's reference frame is

x \approx 103,46x10^{9}m.

B) The space time coordinate t of the collision in Earth's reference frame is

t=377,29s

Explanation:

We are told a rocket travels in the x-direction at speed v=0,70 c (c=299792458 m/s is the exact value of the speed of light) with respect to the Earth. A collision between two comets is observed from the rocket and it is determined that the space time coordinates of the collision are (x',t') = (3.4 x 10¹⁰ m, 190 s).

An event indicates something that occurs at a given location in space and time, in this case the event is the collision between the two comets. We know the space time coordinates of the collision seen from the reference frame of the rocket and we want to find out the space time coordinates in Earth's reference frame.

<em>Lorentz transformation</em>

The Lorentz transformation relates things between two reference frames when one of them is moving with constant velocity with respect to the other. In this case the two reference frames are the Earth and the rocket that is moving with speed v=0,70 c in the x axis.

The Lorentz transformation is

                          x'=\frac{x-vt}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

                                y'=y

                                z'=z

                          t'=\frac{t-\frac{v}{c^{2}}x}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

prime coordinates are the ones from the rocket reference frame and unprimed variables are from the Earth's reference frame. Since we want position x and time t in the Earth's frame we need the inverse Lorentz transformation. This can be obtained by replacing v by -v and swapping primed an unprimed variables in the first set of equations

                       x=\frac{x'+vt'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

                           y=y'

                           z=z'

                        t=\frac{t'+\frac{v}{c^{2}}x'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

First we calculate the expression in the denominator

                            \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}=\frac{(0,70)^{2}c^{2}}{c^{2}} =(0,70)^{2}

                                \sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}} =0,714

then we calculate t

                      t=\frac{t'+\frac{v}{c^{2}}x'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

                      t=\frac{190s+\frac{0,70c}{c^{2}}.3,4x10^{10}m}{0,714}

                      t=\frac{190s+\frac{0,70c .3,4x10^{10}m}{299792458\frac{m}{s}}}{0,714}

                      t=\frac{190s+79,388s}{0,714}

finally we get that

                                     t=377,29s

then we calculate x

                         x=\frac{x'+vt'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

                         x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+0,70c.190s}{0,714}}

                         x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+0,70.299792458\frac{m}{s}.190s}{0,714}}

                         x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+39872396914m}{0,714}}

                         x=\frac{73872396914m}{0,714}}

                         x=103462740775,91m

finally we get that

                                     x \approx 103,46x10^{9} m

A 2-m long string is stretched between two supports with a tension that produces a wave speed equal to vw=50.00m/s. What are the
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer

given,

Length of the string, L = 2 m

speed of the wave , v = 50 m/s

string is stretched between two string

For the waves the nodes must be between the strings

the wavelength  is given by

           \lambda = \dfrac{2L}{n}

where n is the number of antinodes; n = 1,2,3,...

the frequency expression is given by

            f = n\dfrac{v}{2L}

now, wavelength calculation

      n = 1

           \lambda_1 = \dfrac{2\times 2}{1}

                    λ₁ = 4 m

      n = 2

           \lambda_2 = \dfrac{2\times 2}{2}

                   λ₂ = 2 m

      n =3

           \lambda_3 = \dfrac{2\times 2}{3}

                    λ₃ = 1.333 m

now, frequency calculation

      n = 1

            f = n\dfrac{v}{2L}

            f_1 =1\times \dfrac{50}{2\times 2}

                    f₁ = 12.5 Hz

      n = 2

            f = n\dfrac{v}{2L}

            f_2 =2\times \dfrac{50}{2\times 2}

                    f₂= 25 Hz

      n = 3

            f = n\dfrac{v}{2L}

            f_3 =3\times \dfrac{50}{2\times 2}

                    f₃ = 37.5 Hz
