If the train moves sufficiently fast, is it possible, according to experimenters on the ground, for the entire train to be insid

e the tunnel at one instant of time?
Physics
1 answer:
Darya [45]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the consecuences of Special Theory of Relativity is that when bodies move its length in the direction of the movement will decrease, and decrease will become bigger as speed goes up. At speed close to speed of light such decrease could be such as to make train become a point, of course tunnel is fixed it will not change, but close to light speed means somethyng like 300000 km/sec therefore could be just one instant of time inside tunnel no matter how long it is

Students asked to measure the temperature of a reaction beaker recorded the following temperatures. 103.7°C, 108.4°C, 105.8°C, 1
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

The measurement which is the most precise is 104.6 °C.

Explanation:

The measurement which is most precise must be very close to the actual value of the temperature.

Thus, the unit which have less value of the |Δx| (error) must be most precise.

Thus,

Actual value = 105.1 °C

Value = 103.7 °C

<u>|Δx| = 1.4 °C</u>

Value = 108.4 °C

<u>|Δx| = 3.3 °C</u>

Value = 105.8 °C

<u>|Δx| = 0.7 °C</u>

Value = 104.6 °C

<u>|Δx| = 0.5 °C</u>

<u>Thus, The measurement which is the most precise is 104.6 °C.</u>

Four equal masses m are so small they can be treated as points, and they are equally spaced along a long, stiff wire of neglible
anyanavicka [17]

Answer: 5m/L^2

Explanation:

Inertial I = mr^2 where r = distance from axis of rotation, while m is the mass of the object.

I = 2[m(1L/2)^2] + 2[m(3L/2)^2] = 2m×. 25/L^2+ 3m×2. 25/L^2= 0. 5m/l^2 +4. 5m/l^2

= 5m/l^2.

After a while, the car started to go around a long bend, still maintaining its constant speed of 55 miles per hour. Is there a n
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

4) True. The change of direction needs an unbalanced force

Explanation:

Let us propose the resolution of the problem using Newton's second law.

    F = m a

As the car is spinning the acceleration is centripetal

    a = v2.r

   

    F = m v2 / r

We can see that as the velocity of a vector even if its module does not change, the change of direction requires an external force.

Now we can analyze the statement if they are true or false

1) and 3) False, even when the speed changes, the direction changes

2) False with the speed change can be determined

4) True. The change of direction needs an unbalanced force

5) False are different things. the direction is where it is going and the speed is the magnitude of the vector

Which of two factors influence the weight of an object due to gravitational pull?
densk [106]
The weight of an object when calculated by multiplying with the pull of the gravity is dependent on the mass of the object and the value of g. The value of g is constant however is still dependent on the distance of the object from the center of the Earth. Thus, the answers are <em>mass and distance. </em>

On arrival at a vehicle collision, you observe a small fire in the engine compartment. A bystander is attempting to smother the
mina [271]

Answer:

<em>Aim at the base of the fire and use short bursts until the fire is out.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Fire extinguishers use CO2 (Carbondioxide) as the extinguishing agent. This is because CO2 is denser than air, and does not support combustion.

Aiming at the base of the fire causes the CO2 to fall on the base of the fire, where the source of the fire is, trapping it, and preventing it from further reacting with air in a combustion reaction. Also, the short burst creates a strong wind that forces the flame to blow out.
