Answer:

t'=1.1897*10^{-6} s

t'=1.1897 μs

Explanation:

First we will calculate the velocity of micrometeorite relative to spaceship.

Formula:

u=\frac{u'+v}{1+\frac{u'*v}{c^{2}}}

where:

v is the velocity of spaceship relative to certain frame of reference =  -0.82c (Negative sign is due to antiparallel track).

u is the velocity of micrometeorite relative to same frame of reference as spaceship = .82c (Negative sign is due to antiparallel track)

u' is the relative velocity of micrometeorite with respect to spaceship.

In order to find u' , we can rewrite the above expression as:

u'=\frac{v-u}{\frac{u*v}{c^{2} }-1 }

u'=\frac{-0.82c-0.82c}{\frac{0.82c*(-0.82c)}{c^{2} }-1 }

u'=0.9806c

Time for micrometeorite to pass spaceship can be calculated as:

t'=\frac{length}{Relatie seed (u')}

t'=\frac{350}{0.9806c}     (c = 3*10^8 m/s)

t'=\frac{350}{0.9806* 3.0*10^{8} }

t'=1.1897*10^{-6} s

t'=1.1897 μs

Definition These are the components of the reservoirs of oxygen that are exchanged in our environment.
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Oxygen cycle

Explanation:

The components of the reservoirs of oxygen that are exchange in our environment is the oxygen cycle

It suggests the movement of oxygen between the living and non-living parts.

  • The cycle does not account for oxygen that is trapped and cannot be exchanged in nature.
  • Oxygen is important component of the atmosphere.
  • Gaseous exchange between living organisms and atmosphere involves oxygen to a very large extent.

The earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 N/C and directed in toward the c
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the electric charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is 3.923 coulombs and its sign is negative.

b) The force of repulsion between two people is 13.851\times 10^{6} newtons. The use of the earth's electric field a feasible means of flight is not feasible since electric force of repulsion would destroy human body before taking advantage of any possible flight skill.

Explanation:

a) From Second Newton's Law, we form this equation of equilibrium:

\Sigma F = F_{E}-W = 0 (Eq. 1)

Where:

F_{E} - Electrostatic force exerted on human, measured in Newton.

W - Weight of the human, measured in Newton.

If we consider that human can be represented as a particle and make use of definitions of electric field and weight, the previous equation is expanded and electric charge is cleared afterwards:

q\cdot E-m\cdot g = 0

q = \frac{m\cdot g}{E} (Eq. 2)

E - Electric field, measured in Newtons per Coloumb.

m - Mass, measured in kilograms.

g - Gravity acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

q - Electric charge, measured in Coulomb.

As electric field of the Earth is directed in toward the center of the planet, that is, in the same direction of gravity, electric field must be a negative value. If we know that m = 60\,kg, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and E = -150\,\frac{N}{C}, the charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is:

q = \frac{(60\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}{-150\,\frac{N}{C} }

q = -3.923\,C

The magnitude of the electric charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is 3.923 coulombs and its sign is negative.

b) The electric force of repulsion between two people with the same charge calculated in part (a) is determined by Coulomb's Law, whose definition we proceed to use:

F = \kappa \cdot \frac{q^{2}}{r^{2}} (Eq. 3)

Where:

\kappa - Electrostatic constant, measured in Newton-square meter per square Coulomb.

q - Electric charge, measured in Coulomb.

r - Distance between two people, measured in meters.

If we know that \kappa = 9\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}}, q = -3.923\,C and r = 100\,m, then the force of repulsion between two people is:

F = \left(9\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}} \right)\cdot \left[\frac{(-3.923\,C)^{2}}{(100\,m)^{2}} \right]

F = 13.851\times 10^{6}\,N

The force of repulsion between two people is 13.851\times 10^{6} newtons. The use of the earth's electric field a feasible means of flight is not feasible since electric force of repulsion would destroy human body before taking advantage of any possible flight skill.
