Answer:

A  1.4ly

Explanation:

speed v= 0.95c c= speed of light distance t₀=4.3ly

As per the time dilation priciple we know that

t=t_{0}\sqrt {\frac {c^2 -v^2}{c^2}}

\Rightarrow t=4.3\sqrt {1-0.95^2}

t=1.4 ly

therefore, it will take 1.4ly for the trip from the point of view of passenger on ship. ly here is light year.

What effect does friction have on a roller coaster
pav-90 [236]

Hello There!

Let's first talk about <em>"What Is Friction"</em>

<u>Friction is a force that pulls when two object touch each-other. Friction happens because the molecules on one surface interlock with the molecules on another surface.</u>

<u></u>

Now, let's get back to our original question "What Effect Does Friction Have On A Roller Coaster"

On a roller coaster, friction is a force that opposes motion and significantly slows the cars as they move on the track.

What is the emf produced in a 1.5 meter wire moving at a speed of 6.2 meters/second perpendicular to a magnetic field of strengt
Natasha2012 [34]
General formula for emf is : emf = vBL (sin 0)...(1)
As the angle here is 90º and sin90º =1.
So, equation (1) becomes : emf = vBL Putting values :
emf = (6.2)(1.5)(3.96 * 10<span>^-3) = 0.0369 volts
</span>Hope this helps:)

a 3.0 kg mass moving to the right at 1.4 m/s collides in a perfectly inelastic collision with a 2.0 kg mass initially at rest. w
Sedbober [7]

The velocity of the combined mass after the collision is 0.84 ms-1.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to law of conservation of momentum, the change in momentum before collision will be equal to the change in momentum of the objects after collision in isolated system.

But as it is perfectly inelastic collision in the present case, the final momentum will be based on the product of total mass of both the object with the velocity with which the collision occurred. This form is attained from the law of conservation of momentum as shown below:

So as law of conservation of momentum,

                   M_{1} U_{1}+M_{2} U_{2}=M_{1} V_{1}+M_{2} V_{2}

Here M_{1} = 3 kg  and M_{2} = 2 kg are the masses of objects 1 and 2, U_{1} = 1.4 m/s  and U_{2} = 0 are the initial velocities of object 1 and object 2,  V_{1} and  V_{2} are the final velocities of the objects.

So after collision, object 1 get sticked to object 2 and move together with equal velocity V_{1} =  V_{2} = V_{f}. Thus the above equation will become,

            M_{1} U_{1}+M_{2} U_{2}=\left(M_{1}+M_{2}\right) V_{f}

So the final velocity is

              V_{f}=\frac{M_{1} U_{1}+M_{2} U_{2}}{\left(M_{1}+M_{2}\right)}

Thus,

       V_{f}=\frac{(3 \times 1.4+2 \times 0)}{(3+2)}=\frac{4.2}{5} = 0.84 ms-1.

A fugitive tries to hop a freight train traveling at a constant speed Of 4.5 m/s. Just as a empty box car passes him, the fugiti
Dominik [7]
We use the kinematics equation:
Vf = Vi + a*t
8 = 0 + 3.6 * t
t=2.222s to reach 8.0 m/s

At that time the train has moved
4.5 m/s * 2.222s = 9.999 m

He travelled (another kinematics equation)
Vf^2 = Vi^2 + (2*a*d)
(8.0)^2 = (0)^2 + (2 * 3.6 * d)
d=8.888 m

The train is 9.999m, the fugitive is 8.888m,
He still needs to travel
9.999-8.888= 1.111m

He needs to cover the rest of the distance in a smaller amount of time, however hes at his maximum velocity, so...
8m/s(man) - 4.5m/s(train) = 3.5 m/s more

(1.111m) / (3.5m/s) = .317seconds more to reach the train

So if it takes 2.222 seconds to approach the train at 8.888m, it should take
2.222 + .317 =2.529 seconds to reach the train completely

Last but not least is to figure out the total distance traveled in that time frame:

(Trains velocity) * (total time)

(4.5m/s)*(2.529s)=11.3805m
