A tracking station on Earth observes a rocket move away at 0.370c. This rocket is designed to launch a projectile at 0.505c rela

tive to the rocket. What speed (in terms of the speed of light) does the tracking station measure for the projectile if it is fired (a) straight ahead of the rocket or (b) backward from the rocket?

Answer

given,

speed of rocket moving away = 0.370 c

speed of projectile = 0.505 c

a) Speed of the tracking station

  u = 0.505 c + 0.370 c = 0.875 c

 u'= \dfrac{u-v}{1-\dfrac{uv}{c^2}}

 u'= \dfrac{(0.875 c)-0.370 c}{1-0.875 \times 0.370}

        u' = 0.747 c

b)  when the rocket is moving backward

    u = -0.505 c + 0.37 c = - 0.135 c

 u'= \dfrac{-v}{1-\dfrac{uv}{c^2}}

 u'= \dfrac{(-0.135 c-0.370 c}{1-(-0.135) \times 0.370}

        u' = -0.481 c

negative sign represent direction

How do we maintain heat in our body ?​
zysi [14]

Answer:

When heat activates sweat glands, these glands bring that water, along with the body's salt, to the surface of the skin as sweat. Once on the surface, the water evaporates. Water evaporating from the skin cools the body, keeping its temperature in a healthy range.

Explanation:

The system can respond to internal and external influences and make adjustments to keep your body within a degree or two of your normal. The hypothalamus and your autonomic nervous system work with your skin, sweat glands, muscles and even your blood vessels to keep your temperature normal. As in other mammals, thermoregulation is an important aspect of human homeostasis. Most body heat is generated in the deep organs, especially the liver, brain, and heart, and in contraction of skeletal muscles. Some nuts like peanuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios, and dates are also beneficial in winter. These nuts speed up your metabolism and increase your body temperature, eventually making you feel hot.

To make the next delivery, Sam-I-Am goes 45 mi/h for 2 hours. How far did he travel in that time?
andrezito [222]

Hello =D

This problem is about cinematic

So

V = 45 mi/h

t = 2 h

Then

V= X/t

X = V*t

Then

X = (45)*(2)

X = 90 mi

The Cassegrain design provides more compact (shorter) telescopes. Why? (Examine figures 2.4.2 and 2.4.3). The shorter design is
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Because the light reflects multiple times until it gets to the Cassegrain focus.

Explanation:

The Cassegrain design can be seen in a reflecting telescope. In this type of design the light is collected by a concave mirror, and then intercepted by a secondary convex mirror, and sends it down to a central opening in the primary mirror (concave mirror), in which a detector is placed (Cassegrain focus)

Since, the light is reflected many times due to Cassegrain design, that leads to shorter telescopes.
