Albert is piloting his spaceship, heading east with a speed of 0.92 cc relative to Earth. Albert's ship sends a light beam in th

e forward (eastward) direction, which travels away from his ship at a speed cc. Meanwhile, Isaac is piloting his ship in the westward direction, also at 0.92 cc, toward Albert's ship
With what speed does Isaac see Albert's light beam pass his ship?

Answer:

He sees the light as 1c

Explanation:

According to relativity, the speed of light is the same in all inertial frame of reference.

If we were to add the velocities as applicable to a normal moving bodies, the relative speed of the light beam will exceed c which will break relativistic law since nothing can go past the speed of light.

Choose the scenario in which the sound frequency of the waves is higher.
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

B) the sound source moves towards you at 100 m/sec

Explanation:

The Dopper Effect is a phenomenon that occur when there is relative motion between an observer and a source of a wave. When this situation occurs, there is an apparent shift in frequency of the wave, as observed by the observer.

The apparent frequency observed by the observer is given by

f'=\frac{v\pm v_o}{v\pm v_s}f

where

f is the original frequency of the wave

f' is the apparent frequency

v is the speed of the wave

v_o is the velocity of the observer (positive if moving towards the source of the wave, negative otherwise)

v_s is the velocity of the source (negative if moving towards from the observer, positive otherwise)

In this problem, we want to find the scenario in which the sound frequency is higher.

We see that in all 4 scenarios, the sound source is moving: this means we have to find the scenario in which the denominator of the equation is smaller.

First of all, we notice the sound source moves towards the observer, v_s is negative, so the denominator is higher: this means that the correct option must be either A or B.

Also, we notice that since v_s is negative, a value larger in magnitude will mean a smaller denominator: therefore, the correct answer will be

B) the sound source moves towards you at 100 m/sec

Since this situation will make the denominator of the formula the smallest possible.

A weightlifter presses a 400 n weight 0.5 m over his head in 2 seconds, what is the power of the weight lifter
Scrat [10]
There are two ways to solve this problem. First we write the given.

Given: Force F = 400 N;  Height h = 0.5 m;  Time t = 2 s

Formula: P = W/t;  but Work W = Force x distance or W = f x d
 
Weight is also a Force, therefore:  W = mg, solve for Mass m = ?

m = w/g  m = 400 N/9.8 m/s²  m = 40.82 Kg

P = W/t = F x d/t  = mgh/t  P = (40.82 Kg)(9.8 m/s²)/2 s  

P = 100 J/s or 100 Watts

To what tension (in newtons) must you adjust the screw so that a transverse wave of wavelength 3.33 cm makes 621 vibrations per
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

T=9.4 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of wire,m=16.5 g=\frac{16.5}{1000}kg

1 kg=1000g

Length of wire,l=75 cm=75\times 10^{-2}m

1 m=100 cm

Wavelength of transverse wave=\lambda=3.33 cm=3.33\times 10^{-2}m

Frequency=621 Hz

Mass per unit length=m_l=\frac{m}{l}=\frac{16.5}{1000\times 75\times 10^{-2}}=0.022 kg/m

\nu=\frac{v}{\lambda}

v=\nu \lambda

Where\nu=frequency of wave

\lambda=Wavelength of wave

Speed of wave=v

Using the formula

v=3.33\times 10^{-2}\times 621=20.7m/s

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{m_l}}

v^2=\frac{T}{m_l}

T=v^2m_l

Using the formula

T=(20.7)^2\times 0.022=9.4N

Hence, the tension,T=9.4 N
