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

A cannon, positioned on a hill, shoots a cannonball horizontally at 23 m/s. The cannonball hits the stone wall 1.96 m below the
irina [24]

Answer: 14. 49 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equations:

x=V_{o} cos \theta t (1)

y-y_{o}=V_{o} sin \theta t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (2)

Where:

x is the horizontal distance between the cannon and the ball

V_{o}=23 m/s is the cannonball initial velocity

\theta=0\° since the cannonball was shoot horizontally

t is the time

y=0 is the final height of the cannonball

y_{o}=1.96 m is the initial height of the cannonball

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity

Isolating t from (2):

t=\sqrt{-\frac{2(y-y_{o})}{g}} (3)

t=\sqrt{-\frac{2(0 m-1.96 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} (4)

t=0.63 s (5)

Substituting (5) in (1):

x=(23 m/s) cos(0\°) 0.63 s (6)

Finally:

x=14.49 m

What is the purpose of a circuit breaker?
sashaice [31]
It’s designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overcurrent, usually resulting from an overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to interrupt current flow after a fault is detected.

That’s really just the basic purpose.
Happy to help!
