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

How is acceleration related to force when mass is constant, according to Newton's second law of motion?
kherson [118]

Answer:

According to Newton's second law of motion, acceleration is directly proportional to force. As the force increases (when mass is constant), the acceleration increases. This can be shown in the following formula.

f = ma

a =  \frac{f}{m}

f = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

The Eiffel tower in Paris is 300 meters tall on a cold day (T = -24 degrees Celsius), what is its height on a hot day when the t
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Length of Eiffel tower, when the temperature is 35 degrees = 300.21 m

Explanation:

Thermal expansion is given by the expression

\Delta L=L\alpha \Delta T \\

Here length of Eiffel tower, L = 300 m

Coefficient of thermal expansion, α = 0.000012 per degree Celsius

Change in temperature, = 35 - (-24) = 59degrees Celsius

Substituting

\Delta L=L\alpha \Delta T= 300\times 0.000012\times 59=0.2124m \\

Length of Eiffel tower, when the temperature is 35 degrees = 300 + 0.2124 = 300.21 m

The uniform 100-kg beam is freely hinged about its upper end A and is initially at rest in the vertical position with theta = 0.
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

ac = 2.86 m / s²

Explanation:

Image can detail the system to determine the force in the FA to understand the system into the applicated force

m = 100 kg ,  L = 3 m

∑ F = 0 ⇒ Ay - 100 kg + P * cos (45) = 0

Ay = 768.86 N

∑ Mₐ = α * I ₐ

I ₐ = m * L² / 3  ⇒  I ₐ = 100 kg * 4² m / 3

Replacing

P * sin (45) * 3 = α * 100 kg * 4² m / 3  

α = 1.193 rad / s²

ac = α *2    ⇒  ac = 1.193 rad / s²  * 2

ac = 2.86 m / s²

Dear Amrish

I have come to know that since your school has closed for the Autumn Break you have plenty of free time at your disposal at the moment. I would like to tell you that even I am having holidays now.

It has been a long time since we have spent some time together. If you are free, I would welcome to have your company this weekend. Why don’t you come over to my house and spend a day or so with me?

I am anxiously waiting for your reply.

Yours affectionately

your name
