Light does bend in a gravitational field. Why is this bending not taken into consideration by surveyors who use laser beams as s

traight lines?
Physics

Goshia [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Because the effect is not big enough to be noticeable.

Explanation:

The light is bent by gravitational fields, but the bend is not that big unless we are talking about objects with a massive amount of mass. To be noticed the bent, you need to stay far away from the object that causes the blend and the object also needs to be far away from the source of the light. For example, you can observe the blend in the light of a far-away star when the light travels close to the sun to reach earth, and the deflection will be around 1.75 arc-seconds. The deflection occurs also with light beams on the earth but the effect is too small to be taken into consideration.

As you read this in your chair, how fast are you moving relative to the chair? relative to the sun?
Oliga [24]
To answer this question, you need to know the definition of Relative Motion:
 The motion is relative when it depends on a reference point or referencial system. If you know the reference point, you can determine the velocity of an object.
 If you are sitting on your chair, you are not moving relative to it (Your speed is 0 km/s); but as you know, our planet moves around the Sun (Traslation Movement) with a speed of 30.0 km/s. Therefore, you are moving 30.0 km/s relative to the sun.

Daniel takes his two dogs, Pauli the Pointer and Newton the Newfoundland, out to a field and lets them loose to exercise. Both d
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Velocity of Pauli relative to Daniel = (-1.50ï + 3.90ĵ) m/s

x-component = -1.50 m/s

y-component = 3.90 m/s

Explanation:

Relative velocity of a body A relative to another body B, Vab, is given as

Vab = Va - Vb

where

Va = Relative velocity of body A with respect to another third body or frame of reference C

Vb = Relative velocity of body B with respect to that same third body or frame of reference C.

So, relative velocity can be given further as

Vab = Vac - Vbc

Velocity of Newton relative to Daniel = Vnd = 3.90 m/s due north = (3.90ĵ) m/s in vector form.

Velocity of Newton relative to Pauli = Vnp = 1.50 m/s due East = (1.50î) m/s in vector form

What is Pauli's velocity relative to Daniel?

Vpd = Vp - Vd

(Pauli's velocity relative to Daniel) = (Pauli's velocity relative to Newton) - (Daniel's velocity relative to Newton)

Vpd = Vpn - Vdn

Vpn = -Vnp = -(1.50î) m/s

Vdn = -Vnd = -(3.90ĵ) m/s

Vpd = -1.50î - (-3.90ĵ)

Velocity of Pauli relative to Daniel = (-1.50ï + 3.90ĵ) m/s

Hope this Helps!!!!

a boy is riding a bicycle at a velocity of 5.0 m/s. he applies the brakes and uniformly decelerates to a stop at a rate of 2.5 m
JulijaS [17]

The working equation would be Vf (final velocity) = Vi (initial velocity) + a (acceleration) t (time). The given data are the initial velocity (5.0 m/s), acceleration (-2.5 m/s^2, negative since it is said to decelerate) and the final velocity (0 m/s, since it will put to a stop). The time would be 2 seconds.

A stationary bomb explodes in space breaking into a number of small fragments. At the location of the explosion, the net force d
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

.D)The Vector sum of the linear momenta of the fragments must be zero.

Explanation:

.D)The Vector sum of the linear momenta of the fragments must be zero.

This statement is true. This is so because no external force is acting on the masses. The motion is created by internal force so momentum of fragments will be conserved.

A) this statement is false because kinetic energy was zero in the beginning ( the bomb was stationary in the beginning )

B ) This statement is false because it violates the law of conservation of momentum .( it does not violates only when all the fragments have equal mass )

C ) This statement is zero because kinetic energy is not a vector quantity so two kinetic energy when added can not sum up to zero.
