:

35 minutes (See proof below)

Explanation:

Given

Velocity = v = 0.99c

Time = ∆t =5 minutes

Lorentz Factor is the factor by which time, length, and relativistic mass change for an object while that object is moving and it is given as

y = 1/√(1 - v²/c²) where v = velocity = 0.99c and c = time constant = 1

So,

y = 1/√(1 - (0.99c)²/c²)

y = 1/√(1 - 0.9801c²/c²)

y = 1/√(1 - 0.9801)

y = 1/√0.0199

y = 7.088812050083359

Calculating her catnap;

Catnap Time = ∆t * y

= 5 minutes * 7.088812050083359

= 35.44406025041679 minutes

= 35 minutes ----- Approximated

Answer:

Explanation:

Time = Time of catnap ÷ gamma

gamma = square root(1 - v^2/c^2)

V (speed of light) = 0.99

c (time constant) = 1.00

g = square root(1- 0.99^2/1)

g = square root (1-.99^2)

g = square root ( 1 - 0.9801)

g = 0.141

t' = 5 minutes ÷ 0.141 = 35.46 minutes

How does the ocean floor close to the center slit differ from the ocean floor near
Eddi Din [679]
ANSWER: The height of the ocean floor near the middle slit is much greater than the elevation close to the side slit. This disparity influences the depth of the ocean since the water depth would also be higher as the elevation and pressure are higher.
