A rocket passes you at a speed of 0.85c, and you measure its length to be 35.0 m. What is its measured length when at rest?

Answer:

66.4 m

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we can use the length contraction formula, which states that the length observed in the reference frame moving with the object (the rocket) is given by

L=L_0 \sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c})^2}

where

L_0 is the proper length (the length measured from an observer at rest)

v is the speed of the object (the rocket)

c is the speed of light

Here we know

v = 0.85c

L = 35.0 m

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the length of the rocket at rest:

L_0 = \frac{L}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c})^2}}=\frac{35.0}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{0.85c}{c})^2}}=66.4 m

Sati [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

We know the force is (16N-12), which is 4N, and we know the acceleration is 2 m/s^2. Meaning, we can solve the formula m = F / a (mass equals force divided by acceleration), and we get 2kg.

A planet's density can be measured by combining
Lena [83]

Answer:

a. Doppler and transit observations.

Explanation:

By means of the dopler effect, the radial velocity of an extrasolar planet can be measured, this is achieved by observing Doppler shifts in the spectrum of the star around which the planet orbits. This measure, combined with the transit observations, makes possible determine the density of the planet.
