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

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

C. The car from driving off the road on a curve

Explanation:

A centripetal force actually causes circular motion. This occurs when an object moves in a circular path or a circle,a force will definitely act on it.

For instance, a car travelling in a circular path must definitely experience this force acting on it, even when the car moves at a constant speed. If it does not exist the object will definitely spin off in a direction tangential to the circular path or curve.

A transport plane takes off from a level landing field with two gliders in tow, one behind the other. The mass of each glider is
velikii [3]

Answer:

(a)  Length =136.58 m

(b)  T=5995 N

Explanation:

for the glider in the back

T - 1900 = 700 a

for the glider in front

12000-T -1900 = 700a

add equations

12000-3800 = 1400 a

a=5.85 m/s^2

v^2 = v0^2 + 2 a x

40^2 = 2*5.85*x

Length =136.58 m

b) plug the a back into one of the previous formula

T -  1900 = 700*5.85

T=5995 N

How does a mirror affect the path of light?
yulyashka [42]

Light rays change direction when they hit a mirror. The phenomenon is known as reflection. Light rays travels in a straight light. They strike the surface of the mirror at a particular angle called incident angle. It is the angle between the ray and normal at the point of contact. The rays leaves the surface making the same angle with the normal called reflection angle but in different direction.
