The crew of an enemy spacecraft attempts to escape from your spacecraft by moving away from you at 0.259 of the speed of light.

but all is not lost! you launch a space torpedo toward the foe at 0.349 of the speed of light with respect to you. at what speed in kilometers per second does the enemy crew observe the torpedo approaching its spacecraft?

If you do not have to use relative physics but classic physics, this is how you solve it:

Speed of light = c = 3 * 10^5 km/s

Speed of your foe respect to you: 0.259c

Speed of the torpedo respect to you: 0.349c

Speed of the torpedo respect your foe: 0.349c - 0.259c = 0.09c

Conversion to km/s = 0.09 * 3.0 * 10^5 km/s = 27000 km/s

Note that this solution, using classic physics do not take into account time and space dilation.

Answer: 27000 km/s

Naily [24]

Answer: Proximity to active volcanoes

Explanation:

When volcanoes erupt, they can generate tsunamis in the following ways:

-Parts of the volcano (some of them may be underwater) could collapse, generating a big displacement of water and resulting in a tsunami.

-The magma chamber could also collapse as it empties, also generating water displacement.

-If the volcanoes are near to the shore, debris resulting from the eruption could hit the water at fast speeds, producing big waves and eventually a tsunami.

In this case, the proximity of Palu city to active volcanoes, especially ones that are so close to the shore, increases the risk of a tsunami.

A car accelerates for 10 seconds. During this time, the angular
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

the angular acceleration of the car is 1.5 rad/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial angular velocity, \omega_i = 10 rad/s

final angular velocity, \omega_f = 25 rad/s

time of motion, t = 10 s

The angular acceleration of the car is calculated as follows;

a_r = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i }{t} \\\\a_r = \frac{25-10}{10} = 1.5 \ rad/s^2

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the car is 1.5 rad/s²
