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.

The smallest detail visible with ground-based solar telescopes is about 1 arc second. How large a region (in km) does this repre
mestny [16]

Answer:

x = 727.5 km

Explanation:

With the conditions given using trigonometry, we can find the tangent

       tan θ = CO / CA

With CO the opposite leg and CE is the adjacent leg which is the distance from the Tierral to Sun

   

        D =150 10⁶ km (1000m / 1 km)

        D = 150 10⁹ m.

We must take the given angle to radians.

       1º  = 3600 arc s  

       π rad = 180º

       θ = 1 arc s (1º / 3600 s arc) (pi rad / 180º) =

       θ = 4.85 10⁻⁶ rad

That angle is extremely small, so we can approximate the tangent to the angle

     

       θ = x / D

       x = θ D

       x = 4.85 10-6  150 109

       x = 727.5 103 m

       x = 727.5 km

A circus act involves a trapeze artist and a baby elephant. They are going to balance on a teeter-totter that is 10 meters long
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Explanation:

Balance point will be achieved as soon as the weight of the baby elephant creates torque equal to torque created by weight of woman about the pivot. torque by weight of woman

weight x distance from pivot

= 500x 5

= 2500 Nm

torque by weight of baby woman , d be distance of baby elephant from pivot at the time of balance

= 2500x d

for equilibrium

2500 d = 2500

d = 1 m

So elephant will have to walk up to 1 m close to pivot or middle point.

A telephone line has a signal-to-noise ratio of 1000 and a bandwidth of 4 KHz. What is the maximum data rate supported by this l
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The maximum data rate supported by this line is 39900 bps

Explanation:

The maximum data rate supported by this line can be obtained using the formula below

c = W*log2(S/N+1)

where;

c is the maximum data rate supported by the line

W is the bandwidth = 4kHz

S/N+1 is the signal to noise ratio = 1001

c = 4*log2(1001)

c = 39868.9 ≅ 39900 bps

Therefore, the maximum data rate supported by this line is 39900 bps
