Explanation:

One of the takeaways of the General Theory of Relativity (GTR) was that the light can be curved because of the gravity of a massive object. Einstein had proposed the idea of <em>space-time</em> fabric. Every object having mass will create depression in this fabric. Heavier the object, bigger the depression. Thus when light will pass near a heavy object lets say our Sun, it will deflect. He also gave mathematical formula to calculate the deflection.

The same was proved during the Total Solar Eclipse of 29 May 1919. Two scientists named Arthur Eddington and Frank Dyson conducted an experiment. In this eclipse the Sun was to be in front of Hyades in Taurus constellation. They took the measurement of stars of Hyades visible during the eclipse and then compared them with the actual readings. The deflection was clearly visible and the amount of deflection was very close to the values predicted by General Theory of Relativity. Thus they proved the theory right.

Mitch throws a 100-g lump of clay at a 500-g target, which is at rest on a horizontal surface. After impact, the target, includi
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

27.22 m/s

Explanation:

Let the speed of clay before impact is u.

the speed of clay and target is v after impact.

use conservation of momentum

momentum before impact  momentum after impact

mass of clay x u = (mass of clay + mass of target) x v

100 x u = (100 + 500) x v

u = 6 v .....(1)

distance, s = 2.1 m

μ = 0.5

final velocity is zero. use third equation of motion

v'² = v² + 2as

0 = v² - 2 x μ x g x s

v² = 2 x 0.5 x 9.8 x 2.1 = 20.58

v = 4.54 m/s

so by equation (1)

u = 6 x 4.54 = 27.22 m/s

thus, the speed of clay before impact is 27.22 m/s.

A flea can jump with an initial velocity of 2.2 m/s at an angle of 21° with respect to the
Serga [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

If no one can see it because the lights were out. Did the flea really jump?

What do you want here?

Max height (2.2sin21)²/ 2(9.8) = 3.2 cm

Time of flight 2(2.2sin21)/ (9.8) = 0.16 s

distance of flight (2.2cos21)(0.16) = 33 cm

An object in space is initially stationary relative to the Earth. Then, a force begins acting on the object, starting with a for
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

v_f =63 m/s

Explanation:

given,

starting force = 0 N

uniform rate increase to 36 N

time of action of Force = 35 s

mass of the body = 10 Kg

Speed of the object = ?

From the given data

if we plot F-t curve  we will get a triangular shape

we know,

Impulse = Area between F-t curve

            = (1/2) x base x height

             = 0.5 x 35 x 36

             = 630 N.s

now use Impulse-momentum theorem

Impulse = change in momentum

630 = 10 x (v_f - vi)

630 = 10 x (v_f - 0)

v_f =63 m/s

Speed of the object at 35 sec is equal to v_f =63 m/s

Answer:

a)  t = 0.90 s, b)  t = 0.815 s, c)  t = 0.90 s, d)  x = 3.6 m, e)  t = 0.639 s

Explanation:

all these exercises are about kinematics

a) The body is released from rest,  

           y = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²

in this case when reaching the ground y = 0 and its initial velocity is vo = 0

           0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t²

           t² = 2 y₀ / g

           t² = 2 4 /9.81

           t² = 0.815

            t = √0.815

           t = 0.90 s

b) It is thrown upwards at v₀ = 4 m / s

         y = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²

in this case the initial and final height is the same

        y = y₀ = 0

        0 = v₀ t -1/2 g t²

        t = 2 v₀ / g

        t = 2 4 /9.81

        t = 0.815 s

c) the ball is at y₀ = 4 m and its initial velocity is horizontal v₀ = 4 m / s

        y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

        0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t²

        t² = 2 i / g

        t² = 2 4 / 9.81

        t² = 0.815

        t = 0.90 s

d) the horizontal distance traveled is

        x = v₀ₓ t

        x = 4 0.90

        x = 3.6 m

e) We can calculate the time to fall from I = 2 m

        y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

        0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t²

        t² = 2 y₀i / g

        t² = 2 2 /9.81

        t² = 0.4077

        t = 0.639 s

Therefore, when making measurements, you should find readings around this value.
