A body moving at .500c with respect to an observer

Physics
1 answer:
lakkis [162]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

0.8c and -0.14c

Explanation:

The first fragment will have a speed of +0.5c respect of a frame of reference moving at +0.5c

Lest name v the velocity of the frame of reference, and u' the velocity of the object respect of this moving frame of reference.

The Lorentz transform for velocity is:

u = (u' + v) / (1 + (u' * v) / c^2)

u = (0.5c + 0.5c) / (1 + (0.5c * 0.5c) / c^2) = 0.8c

The other fragment has a velocity of u' = -0.6c respect of the moving frame of reference.

u = (-0.6v + 0.5c) / (1 + (0.5c * 0.5c) / c^2) = -0.14c

kumpel [21]

Answer:\frac{D_A}{v_B-v_A}

Explanation:

Given

car A had a head start of D_A

and it starts at x=0 and t=0

Car B has to travel a distance of D_A and d_a

where d_a is the distance travel by car A in time t

distance travel by car A is

d_a=v_A\times t

For car B with  speed v_B

d_B=D_A+d_a

v_B\times t=D_A+v_A\times t

t=\frac{D_A}{v_B-v_A}

A hammer strikes one end of a thick iron rail of length 8.80 m. A microphone located at the opposite end of the rail detects two
stepladder [879]

Answer:

ΔT = 0.02412 s

Explanation:

We will simply calculate the time for both the waves to travel through rail distance.

FOR THE TRAVELING THROUGH RAIL:

T_{rail} = \frac{Distance}{Speed\ of\ Sound\ in\ Rail}\\\\T_{rail} = \frac{8.8\ m}{5950\ m/s}\\\\T_{rail} = 0.00148\ s

FOR THE WAVE TRAVELING THROUGH AIR:

T_{air} = \frac{Distance}{Speed\ of\ Sound\ in\ Air}\\\\T_{air} = \frac{8.8\ m}{343\ m/s}\\\\T_{air} = 0.0256\ s

The separation in time between two pulses can now be given as follows:

\Delta T = T_{air}-T_{rail} \\\Delta T = 0.0256\ s - 0.00148\ s\\

<u>ΔT = 0.02412 s</u>

When does the most significant drop in physical activity typically occur in people's lives?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Later high school years and freshman year of college

Explanation:

The transition from high school to college is an important developmental milestone that holds the potential for personal growth and behavioral change.  A cohort of 2,025 students was recruited during the summer before they matriculated into college and completed Internet-based surveys about their participation in a variety of behavioral risks during the last three months of high school and throughout the first year of college. Alcohol use, marijuana use, and sex with multiple partners increased during the transition from high school to college, whereas driving after drinking, aggression, and property crimes decreased. Those from rural high schools and those who elected to live in private dormitories in college were at highest risk for heavy drinking and driving after drinking.
