A large number of very industrious people make a very long pole. It is 10.0 light years long! ( As they measure it. ) Soon a spa

ceship flies along the length of the pole at 90% the speed of light. How much time passes on the spaceship from the moment the ship passes the first end of the pole to the moment the ship passes the second end of the pole

Answer:

L = L0 ( 1 - v^2/c^2))1/2     where L0 is the proper length

L = 10 L-y (1 - .9^2)^1/2 = 4.36 L-y   length of pole measured by ship

t = 4.36 L-y / .9 c = 4.84 y  since the ship travels at .9 c

The drag force pushes opposite your motion as you ride a bicycle. If you double your speed, what happens to the drag force?
timurjin [86]

Answer: The drag force goes up by a factor of 4

Explanation:

The <u>Drag Force</u> equation is:

F_{D}=\frac{1}{2}C_{D}\rho A_{D}V^{2} (1)

Where:

F_{D} is the Drag Force

C_{D} is the Drag coefficient, which depends on the material

\rho is the density of the fluid where the bicycle is moving (<u>air in this case) </u>

A_{D} is the transversal area of the body or object

V the bicycle's velocity

Now, if we assume C_{D}, \rho and A_{D} do not change, we can rewrite (1) as:

F_{D}=C.V^{2} (2)

Where C groups all these coefficients.

So, if we have a new velocity V_{n} , which is the double of the former velocity:

V_{n}=2V (3)

Equation (2) is written as:

F_{D}=C.V_{n}^{2}=C.(2V)^{2}

F_{D}=4CV^{2} (4)

Comparing (2) and (4) we can conclude<u> the Drag force is four times greater when the speed is doubled.</u>

5. If one object has a greater speed than a second object. does the first necessarily have a greater acceleration? Explain, usin
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

5. not necessarily so that the first object could have left with initial velocity and the second not, so even if the second has a greater acceleration its velocity is less than that of the first

6. The acceleration of the motorcycle is

     SI System Reductions

     Vo = 80 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 22.2 m / s

     Vf = 90 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 25 m / s

     Vf = Vo + at at = Vf-Vo

     am = (Vf-Vo) / t

     am = (25 -22.2) / t = 2.8 / t

      am= 2.8/t

For the bike we have

      Vf = 10 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 2.78 m / s

      Vo = 0

      ab = (Vf -Vo) / t

      ab = (2.78 -0) / t

      ab = 2.8/t

Since time is the same for both of us, if we round to Significant figures the two accelerations are equal

7. If when an object is slowing or slowing down.

     For example, a car goes north and must stop at the traffic light, the acceleration of the brakes goes south

8. Yes, since an object can go to the left and the acceleration to the right, but the object will lose speed over time

9. in the launch of projectiles the acceleration is negative and the speed after half the path is also negative

10. Car B must be moving to car A, because if they leave together B has more acceleration, bone that travels the distance at the same time

11. When we have friction, the velocity of an object increases by an external force, but the friction also increases the acceleration, but since it is positive, the velocity increases until the acceleration is zero and hence the velocity remains constant.

A satellite of Mars, called Phobos, has an orbital radius of 9.4 ✕ 106 m and a period of 2.8 ✕ 104 s. Assuming the orbit is circ
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

6.27*10^{23}kg

Explanation:

assume

M= mass of Mars

m=mass of phobos

r=orbital radius

T=period

we can apply F=ma to this orbital motion (considering the cricular motion laws)

where,

F=\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }  and a=rω^2

where ω=\frac{2\pi }{T} and G is the universal gravitational constant.

G = 6.67 x 10-11 N m2 / kg2

F=ma\\\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }=mr(\frac{2\pi }{T} )^{2}\\  M=\frac{r^{3}}{G}  (\frac{2\pi }{T} )^{2}\\M=\frac{(9.4*10x^{6} )^{3}*(2\pi )^{2} }{(2.8*10^{4}) ^{2} *6.67*10^{-11} } \\M=6.27*10^{23}kg
