Answer:

D) Different observers can disagree about the fundamental structure of spacetime.

Explanation:

The law was proposed by Albert Einstein and it talks about the gravitational force and how objects in space and time behave.

In his finding he discovered that the whole universe has no central point and no outer boundary.

He noticed that time runs faster on the surface of the earth than on the surface of the sun.

However, different observers disagreeing about the structure of FaceTime is not among the discoveries of the law of relativity.

Answer:

Different observers can disagree about the fundamental structure of space time

Explanation:

Theory of Relativity was proposed by Albert Einstein and is a building block for *modern* physics. he showed that the speed of light within a vacuum is the same no matter the speed at which an observer travels.

Describe the importance of the neutron in a atomic nuclei

RUDIKE [14]

Neutrons are required for the stability of nuclei, with the exception of the single-proton hydrogen nucleus. Neutrons are produced copiously in nuclear fission and fusion. They are a primary contributor to the nucleosynthesis of chemical elements within stars through fission, fusion, and neutron capture processes.

Hope it helps!

Light rays from stars bend toward smaller angles as they enter Earth's atmosphere. a. Explain why this happens using Snell's law

Grace [21]

Answer:

Following are the answer to this question:

Explanation:

In option (a):

The principle of Snells informs us that as light travels from the less dense medium to a denser layer, like water to air or a thinner layer of the air to the thicker ones, it bent to usual — an abstract feature that would be on the surface of all objects. Mostly, on the contrary, glow shifts from a denser with a less dense medium. This angle between both the usual and the light conditions rays is referred to as the refractive angle.
Throughout in scenario, the light from its stars in the upper orbit, the surface area of both the Earth tends to increase because as light flows from the outer atmosphere towards the Earth, it defined above, to a lesser angle.

In option (b):

Rays of light, that go directly down wouldn't bend, whilst also sun source which joins the upper orbit was reflected light from either a thicker distance and flex to the usual, following roughly the direction of the curve of the earth.
Throughout the zenith specific position earlier in this thread, astronomical bodies appear throughout the right position while those close to a horizon seem to have been brightest than any of those close to the sky, and please find the attachment of the diagram.

:What will be the value of the refractive index of the medium? Critical angle of that medium is 30 degree

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Let the second medium be air (n₁=1)

The refractive index n₂ of the medium where first medium is air is found (a)

(a) n₂ = 2

Explanation:

Critical angle can be defined as the angle of incidence that provides the angle of refraction of 90°.

Refractive index of a medium can be defined as a number that describes that how fast a light will travel through that medium.

Critical angle and Refractive index are related by:

$\theta_{critical}= sin^{-1}(\frac{n_1}{n_2})$

$sin \theta_{critical}=\frac{n_1}{n_2}$

To find refractive index of medium with respect to air, substitute n₁=1 (Refractive index of air is 1)

Also θ(critical)=30°

Find n₂ :

$sin30= \frac{1}{n_2}\\0.5=\frac{1}{n_2}\\n_2=\frac{1}{0.5}\\n_2=2$

The displacement of a 500 g mass, undergoing simple harmonic motion, is defined by the function :

Delicious77 [7]

The maximum kinetic energy, maximum potential energy and the maximum mechanical energy are equal to 7.56J.

<h3>What is simple harmonic motion?</h3>

Simple harmonic motion, in physics, repetitive movement back and forth through an equilibrium, or central, position, so that the maximum displacement on one side of this position is equal to the maximum displacement on the other side.

Simple Harmonic Motion

The given equation of the simple harmonic motion is

$x=3.5 sin (\frac{\pi }{2t} + \frac{5\pi }{4} )$

Data;

ω = π/2

k = 1.254N/m

Solving this

$\frac{dx}{dt} = -3.5 X \frac{\pi }{2} cos (\frac{x\pi t}{2}+\frac{5\pi }{4} )$

Let's calculate the maximum velocity.

$V_{m} =\frac{3.5\pi }{2}$

This is only possible when cos θ = -1

The maximum kinetic energy is

$K_m =\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} X \frac{500}{1000} X \frac{7^2\pi ^2}^{4} ^2$

$w^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\k = w^2m\\k = \frac{\pi ^2}{4} X \frac{500}{1000} \\k =1.254 N/m$

Using the value of spring constant, we can find the maximum potential energy.

$P.E =\frac{1}{2} k x^2\\P.E =\frac{1}{2} X 1.234 X 3.5^2 \\P.E = 7.56 J$

The maximum potential energy is 7.56J

The maximum mechanical energy is equal to the sum of maximum potential energy and the maximum kinetic energy.

ME = K.E + P.E

ME = 7.56J

From the calculations above, the maximum kinetic energy, maximum potential energy and the maximum mechanical energy are equal to 7.56J.
