Answer:

The correct answer is;

b. the light will reach the front of the rocket at the same instant that it reaches the back of the rocket.

Explanation:

The speed of light is an invariant. The speed of light is independent of the source or the observer, that is the speed of light does not depend on the speed of the source, or the speed of the observer, or the speed of the medium. The speed of light is constant, and as such the light will arrive at the back and front of the rocket at the same time.

Answer:

B. the light will reach the front of the rocket at the same instant that it reaches the back of the rocket.

Explanation:

To an observer at rest in the rocket who can't see either sides of the rocket, the speed of the light is constant which means the distance to the front or the back is same and would appear to reach the rocket at the same time.

Although from the point of view of the person on the earth, the front of the rocket is travelling in opposite direction of the light while the back of the rocket is moving closer to the light. This means that the distance travelled by the light going forward will be longer going backwards. And since the speed of light is constant in both directions, the light will reach the back of the rocket before it reaches the front  for the observer on the earth.

A 0.25-kg ball attached to a string is rotating in a horizontal circle of radius 0.5 m twice every second, what is the tension i
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

T = 19.75 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of ball = 0.25 Kg

radius = 0.5 m

frequency = 2 s⁻¹

tension in the string = ?

angular velocity

ω = 2 π f

ω = 2 π x 2

ω = 12.57 rad/s

tension on the string is equal to the centripetal force

T = m ω² r

T = 0.25 x 12.57² x 0.5

T = 19.75 N

Tension in the string is equal to T = 19.75 N

A stunt man jumps from the top of a building and lands 10 meters below his initial height. In case A, the stunt man lands on a s
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The stunt will likely sustain serious injury in case of concrete blocks because the average force acting on the person will be more because concrete blocks do not squeeze to provide more time for the force to act on the body instead it acts for a small amount of interval.

Impulse=F_{avg}\times \Delta T

As impulse is constant so time requires to act force on the body is more as compared to concrete block and thus average force in mattress case is less.

If a 100-N net force acts on a 50-kg car, what will the acceleration of the car be?
Tema [17]
Newton's 2nd law of motion: 

                             Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by (mass):     

                             Acceleration = (force) / (mass)

                                               =  (100 N) / (50 kg)

                                               =  2 m/s²

How can a magnetic field be produced, using a wire, a battery, and and a nail?
Aleks [24]
It is fairly easy to build an electromagnet. All you need to do is wrap some insulated copper wire around an iron core. If you attach a battery to the wire, an electric current will begin to flow and the iron core will become magnetized. When the battery is disconnected, the iron core will lose its magnetism. Follow these steps.
Step 1 - Gather the Materials
One iron nail fifteen centimeters (6 in) long
Three meters (10 ft) of 22 gauge insulated, stranded copper wire
One or more D-cell batteries
Step 2 - Remove some Insulation
Step 3 - Wrap the Wire Around the Nail
Step 4 - Connect the Battery

How much heat is required to raise 100 grams of water (c= 4.18) by 5 degrees Celsius?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Heat capacity, Q = 2090 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 100 grams

Specific heat capacity = 4.18 J/g°C.

Temperature = 5°C

To find the quantity of heat required;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mct

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

t represents the temperature of an object.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Q = 100*4.18*5

Heat capacity, Q = 2090 Joules.
