Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago

Explanation:

The two postulates of special theory of relativity

Postulate 1: The law of physics are invariant under any of inertial frame of reference.

Postulate 2: The velocity of light is remains same in each ans every frame of reference and independent of relativity.

They are differ from classical mechanics that in classical mechanics there is no change in mass and length in relative velocity but in relativistic mechanics it changes.

These two postulates implements in phenomenon like time dilation , length contraction etc.

A uniform crate with a mass of 22 kg must be moved up along the 15° incline without tipping. The force P is horizontal. Determin
Paul [167]

Answer:

F_x=208.25\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a crate is 22 kg

It moved up along the 15 degrees incline without tipping.

We need to find the corresponding magnitude of force P. The force P is acting in horizontal direction.

It means that the horizontal component of force is given by :

F_x=F\cos\theta\\\\F_x=mg\cos\theta\\\\F_x=22\times 9.8\times \cos(15)\\\\F_x=208.25\ N

So, the horizontal component of force is 208.25 N.

3. How long will it take a ball to reach the ground if it falls from a cliff 25 m tall (starting from rest)? What if the ball we
Nady [450]

Answer:

2.26 s

Explanation:

Let's take down to be positive.

Given (in the y direction):

Δy = 25 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

25 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

25 = 4.9t²

t = 2.26 s

If the ball instead had an initial horizontal velocity of 5 m/s, its initial vertical velocity is still 0 m/s.  So the time to fall is still 2.26 s.
