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

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=mC^{2}, 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.

g Can a rigid body experience any ACCELERATION when the resultant force acting on that rigid body is zero? Explain.Can a rigid b
Advocard [28]

Answer:

<em>No, a rigid body cannot experience any acceleration when the resultant force acting on the body is zero.</em>

Explanation:

If the net force on a body is zero, then it means that all the forces acting on the body are balanced and cancel out one another. This sate of equilibrium can be static equilibrium (like that of a rigid body), or dynamic equilibrium (that of a car moving with constant velocity)

For a body under this type of equilibrium,

ΣF = 0   ...1

where ΣF is the resultant force (total effective force due to all the forces acting on the body)

For a body to accelerate, there must be a force acting on it. The acceleration of a body is proportional to the force applied, for a constant mass of the body. The relationship between the net force and mass is given as

ΣF = ma   ...2

where m is the mass of the body

a is the acceleration of the body

Substituting equation 2 into equation 1, we have

0 = ma

therefore,

a = 0

this means that<em> if the resultant force acting on a rigid body is zero, then there won't be any force available to produce acceleration on the body.</em>

An astronaut on a small planet wishes to measure the local value of g by timing pulses traveling down a wire which has a large o
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

0.53m/s^2

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of wire=m=3.6 g=3.6\times 10^{-3} kg

1 kg=1000 g

Length of wire=l=1.6 m

Mass of object=m'=3 kg

Time,t=60.1 ms=60.1\times 10^{-3} s

1 ms=10^{-3} s

Speed,v=\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{1.6}{60.1\times 10^{-3}}=26.62 m/s

g=\frac{v^2m}{m'l}

Using the formula

g=\frac{(26.62)^2\times 3.6\times 10^{-3}}{3\times 1.6}=0.53m/s^2
