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

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Part a)

a_{hanger} = g - \frac{T}{m}

Part b)

a_{cart} = \frac{T}{M}

Part c)

a = \frac{mg}{M + m}

Part d)

a = 1.35 m/s^2

Explanation:

Part a)

For hanger we know that it will have tension force upwards while it has downwards its weight so we will have

mg - T = ma

so we have

a_{hanger} = g - \frac{T}{m}

Part b)

now for car that is rolling on the floor the net force is given as

F = Ma

T = Ma

a_{cart} = \frac{T}{M}

Part c)

now we know that the cart and the hanger both are connected to each other

so they must have same acceleration

so we will have

T = Ma

mg - Ma = ma

a = \frac{mg}{M + m}

Part d)

now we know that

M = 2.40 kg

m = 0.50 kg

so we will have

a = \frac{0.50(9.81)}{2.40 + 0.50}

a = 1.35 m/s^2

Giving quadrilateral a(2,-1 ) b ( 1,3) c(6,5) d(7,1) you want to prove that it is a parallelogram by showing opposite sides are
solong [7]

Answer:

Opposite sides are congruent (AB = DC).

Opposite angels are congruent (D = B).

Consecutive angles are supplementary (A + D = 180°).

If one angle is right, then all angles are right.

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Each diagonal of a parallelogram separates it into two congruent triangles.
