A spaceship is moving past us at a speed close to the speed of light. If we could measure the mass of the spaceship as it goes b
1 answer:
Answer:
the mass of the space ship would be greater than its mass when at rest, it's mass becomes so high that it reaches infinity.
Explanation:
From Einstein's relativity equation E=, where E is energy, m is mass and C is the speed of light, the equation shows that energy (E) and mass (m) are interchangeable because there are different forms of the same thing if mass is somehow converted into energy (just as in the atomic bomb). This equation shows that mass increases with speed (as an object moves, its mass increases), and if an object were to move close to the speed of light (the fastest speed a particle can move in a vacuum) its mass would increase that in reaches infinity.

<u>Answer:</u>
<em>Thunderbird is 995.157 meters behind the Mercedes</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
It is given that all the cars were moving at a speed of 71 m/s when the driver of Thunderbird decided to take a pit stop and slows down for 250 m. She spent 5 seconds in the pit stop.
Here final velocity
initial velocity distance
Distance covered in the slowing down phase =
The car is in the pit stop for 5s
After restart it accelerates for 350 m to reach the earlier velocity 71 m/s
total time=
Distance covered by the Mercedes Benz during this time is given by
Distance covered by the Thunderbird during this time=
Difference between distance covered by the Mercedes and Thunderbird
=
Thus the Mercedes is 995.157 m ahead of the Thunderbird.
In a velocity-time graph, the area under the curve represents the distance.
The distance traveled from 10s to 18 s is
Final Answer: The distance traveled is 40 m from time 10 s to 18 s.
