An event occurs in system K' at x' = 2 m, y' = 3.7 m, z' = 3.7 m, and t' = 0. System K' and K have their axes coincident at t =
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Coordinates of event in system K are (x,y,z,t)=(5.103m , 3.7m , 3.7m , 1.57×10⁻⁸s)

Explanation:

To find the coordinates of event in system K ,we have to use inverse Lorentz transformation

So

x=\frac{x^{|}+vt^{|} }{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2} }{c{2} } } } \\x=\frac{2m+0.92c(0) }{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.92c)^{2} }{c{2} } } }\\x=5.103m\\y=y^{|}\\ y=3.7m\\z=z^{|}\\ z=3.7m

for t

r=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-v^{2} } } \\r=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(0.92)^{2} } } \\r=2.551\\t=r(t^{|}+vx^{|}/c^{2}   )\\t=2.551(0s+(0.92c)(2)/c^{2} )\\t=1.57*10^{-8}s

Coordinates of event in system K are (x,y,z,t)=(5.103m , 3.7m , 3.7m , 1.57×10⁻⁸s)

A driver with a 0.80-s reaction time applies the brakes, causing the car to have acceleration opposite the direction of motion.
jeka94

Answer:

a) During the reaction time, the car travels 21 m

b) After applying the brake, the car travels 48 m before coming to stop

Explanation:

The equation for the position of a straight movement with variable speed is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 t + 1/2 a t²

where

x: position at time t

v0: initial speed

a: acceleration

t: time

When the speed is constant (as before applying the brake), the equation would be:

x = x0 + v t

a)Before applying the brake, the car travels at constant speed. In 0.80 s the car will travel:

x = 0m + 26 m/s * 0.80 s = <u>21 m  </u>

b) After applying the brake, the car has an acceleration of -7.0 m/s². Using the equation for velocity, we can calculate how much time it takes the car to stop (v = 0):

v = v0 + a* t

0 = 26 m/s + (-7.0 m/s²) * t

-26 m/s / - 7.0 m/s² = t

t = 3.7 s

With this time, we can calculate how far the car traveled during the deacceleration.

x = x0 +v0 t + 1/2 a t²

x = 0m + 26 m/s * 3.7 s - 1/2 * 7.0m/s² * (3.7 s)² = <u>48 m</u>

A worker lifts a 20.0-kg bucket of concrete from the ground up to the top of a 25.0-m tall building. The bucket is initially at
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Minimum work = 5060 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the bucket (m) = 20.0 kg

Initial speed of the bucket (u) = 0 m/s

Final speed of the bucket (v) = 4.0 m/s

Displacement of the bucket (h) = 25.0 m

Let 'W' be the work done by the worker in lifting the bucket.

So, we know from work-energy theorem that, work done by a force is equal to the change in the mechanical energy of the system.

Change in mechanical energy is equal to the sum of change in potential energy and kinetic energy. Therefore,

\Delta E=\Delta U+\Delta K\\\\\Delta E= mgh+\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

Therefore, the work done by the worker in lifting the bucket is given as:

W=\Delta E\\\\W=mgh+\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

Now, plug in the values given and solve for 'W'. This gives,

W=(20\ kg)(9.8\ m/s^2)(25\ m)+\frac{1}{2}(20\ kg)(4^2-0^2)\ m^2/s^2\\\\W=4900\ J +160\ J\\\\W=5060\ J

Therefore, the minimum work that the worker did in lifting the bucket is 5060 J.

In most materials, as heat energy is absorbed, density
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

In most materials, as heat energy is absorbed, the density decreases. IF a certain object is heated, it might appear bigger than usual because it expands as the molecules inside moves faster than usual. However the mass of it stays the same while the density decreases.
