Astronauts aboard the ISS move at about 8000 m/s, relative to us when we look upward.How long does an astronaut need to stay abo
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

#_time = 7.5 10⁴ s

Explanation:

In order for the astronaut to be younger than the people on earth, it follows that the speed of light has a constant speed in vacuum (c = 3 108 m / s), therefore with the expressions of special relativity we have.

            t = \frac{t_p}{ \sqrt{1-  (v/c)^2} }

where t_p is the person's own time in an immobile reference frame,

           t_{p} = t \sqrt{1 - (\frac{v}{c})^2 }

let's calculate

we assume that the speed of the space station is constant

              t_p = 1 \sqrt{1 - \frac{8 \ 10^3}{3 \ 10^8} }

             t_p = 1 \sqrt{1- 2.6666 \ 10^{-5}}

             t_ =  0.99998666657   s

             

therefore the time change is

             Δt = t - t_p

             Δt = 1 - 0.9998666657                  

              Δt = 1.3333 10⁻⁵ s

this is the delay in each second, therefore we can use a direct rule of proportions. If Δt was delayed every second, how much second (#_time) is needed for a total delay of Δt = 1 s

               #_time = 1 / Δt

               #_time =\frac{1}{1.3333 \ 10^{-5}}

               #_time = 7.5 10⁴ s

Describe the process of electricity generation and the efficiency and economics of it
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The process of producing electric energy or the amount of electric energy produced by transforming other forms of energy into electrical energy; commonly expressed in kilowatt-hours (kWh) or megawatt-hours (MWh). Electric power plant efficiency η is defined as the ratio between the useful electricity output from the generating unit, in a specific time, and the energy value of the energy source supplied to the unit in the same time period.  For electricity generation based on steam turbines 65% of all prime energy is wasted as heat.  The maximum theoretical energy efficiency is defined in more detail by the Rankine cycle. For modern practical systems this is about 40% but less for older generating plant.  The efficiency falls still further if fuels with lower energy content such as biomass are used to supply the plant. The economics of power generation based on reciprocating engines depends to a large extent on the use to which the engine is to be put. The cheapest engines available are small petrol-driven engines based on car engines, which are manufactured in large numbers each year.

You throw a ball upward with an initial speed of 4.3 m/s. When it returns to your hand 0.88 s later, it has the same speed in th
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The acceleration is -9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Hi there!!

When you throw a ball upward, there is a downward acceleration that makes the ball return to your hand. This acceleration is produced by gravity.

The average acceleration is calculated as the variation of the speed over time. In this case, we know the time and the initial and final speed. Then:

acceleration = final speed - initial speed/ elapsed time

acceleration = -4.3 m/s - 4.3 m/s / 0.88 s

acceleration = -9.8 m/s²

Amanda [17]

(c)p→π⁺₊π⁺₊π

Baryon number is +1 on the left side of the equation, 0 on the

right side. Baryon number is not conserved.

<h3>How do you determine whether a baryon number is conserved?</h3>

  • According to the law of conservation of baryon number, the sum of the baryon numbers of all incoming particles equals the sum of the baryon numbers of all particles produced by the reaction. Energy, and so on, are conserved even if the incoming proton has sufficient energy and charge.
<h3>What is Baryon Number</h3>
  • In particle physics, the baryon number denotes which particles are baryons and which particles are not. Each baryon has a baryon number of 1, and each antibaryon has a baryon number of -1. Other non-baryonic particles have a baryon number of 0. Since there are exotic hadrons like pentaquarks and tetraquarks, there is a general definition of baryon number as:
  • B=1/3(n_{q} -n_q^{-} })
  • wheren_{q} represents the number of quarks and nq represents the number of antiquarks.

A mass weighing 4 pounds is attached to a spring whose constant is 2 lb/ft. The medium offers a damping force that numerically e
Neko [114]

Answer:

the time at which it passes through the equilibrum position is:

t = 0.1 second

Explanation:

given

w= 4pounds

k(spring constant) = 2lb/ft

g(gravitational constant) = 10m/s² = 32ft/s²

β(initial point above equilibrum) = 1

velocity = 14ft/s

attached is an image showing the calculations, because some of the parameters aren't convenient to type.
