Answer:True

Explanation: Distant galaxies appear to be larger than those close by because of cosmic expansion. light from nearer galaxies travel farther and makes the other to be billions of years away. The farther it takes to get to another galaxy, the bigger it appears

How high would you have to lift a 1000kg car to give it a potential energy of:

Elza [17]

Given parameters:

Mass of the car = 1000kg

Unknown:

Height = ?

To find the heights for the different amount potential energy given, we need to understand what potential energy is.

Potential energy is the energy at rest due to the position of a body.

It is mathematically expressed as:

P.E = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

h is the height of the car

Now the unknown is h, height and we make it the subject of the expression to make for easy calculation.

h = $\frac{P.E }{mg}$

For 2.0 x 10³ J;

h = $\frac{2000}{1000 x 9.8}$ = 0.204m

For 2.0 x 10⁵ J;

h = $\frac{200000}{9.8 x 1000}$ = 20.4m

For 1.0kJ = 1 x 10³J;

h = $\frac{1000}{9.8 x 1000}$ = 0.102m

Three observers watch a train pull away from a station toward the right of the platform. Observer A is in one of the train’s car

juin [17]

Observer A is moving inside the train

so here observer A will not be able to see the change in position of train as he is standing in the same reference frame

So here as per observer A the train will remain at rest and its not moving at all

Observer B is standing on the platform so here it is a stationary reference frame which is outside the moving body

So here observer B will see the actual motion of train which is moving in forward direction away from the platform

Observer C is inside other train which is moving in opposite direction on parallel track. So as per observer C the train is coming nearer to him at faster speed then the actual speed because they are moving in opposite direction

So the distance between them will decrease at faster rate

Now as per Newton's II law

F = ma

Now if train apply the brakes the net force on it will be opposite to its motion

So we can say

- F = ma

$a = \frac{-F}{m}$

so here acceleration negative will show that train will get slower and its distance with respect to us is now increasing with less rate

It is not affected by the gravity because the gravity will cause the weight of train and this weight is always counterbalanced by normal force on the train

So there is no effect on train motion
