Answer:

they meet from the girl's original position at: 2.37 (meters)

Explanation:

We need to use the Newton's law, exactly the second law that relate force, mass and acceleration as: F=m*a with this we can get both accelerations; solving for acceleration a=\frac{F}{m}. Now a_{girl}=\frac{5.76}{42.3}=0.14 (m/s^{2}) anda_{sled}=\frac{5.76}{7.93}=0.73(m/s^{2}). Then knowing that they both travel at the same time and assuming that the distance among the girl and the sled is: 15.0-x, so, x=\frac{1}{2}*a_{girl}*t^{2} and15.0-x=\frac{1}{2}*a_{sled}*t^{2}, solving for the time we get:t=\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a_{girl} } } and t=\sqrt{\frac{2*(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} } } with this equations we solving for the x that is the distance between the girl and the sled after the apply the force and we get:\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a_{girl}}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} }. Finally we get:\frac{x}{a_{girl} }=\frac{(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} } and replacing the values we have got:\frac{x}{0.14} =\frac{(15.0-x)}{0.73} so 5.33*x=15-x so x=2.37 (meters).

Answer:

85.62 m

168.75 years

101.04 years

Explanation:

L_0 = Length of ship = 143 m

v = Velocity of ship = 0.8c

c = Speed of light

s = Distance to Boralis orbit = 135 ly

Gamma value

\gamma=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow \gamma=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{0.8^2c^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow \gamma=1.67

Length contraction is given by

L=\dfrac{L_0}{\gamma}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{143}{1.67}\\\Rightarrow L=85.62\ m

The length is 85.62 m

Time taken

t=\dfrac{s}{v}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{135}{0.8}\\\Rightarrow t=168.75\ years

Time taken from the perspective one Earth is 168.75 years

Time dilation is given by

t'=\dfrac{t}{\gamma}\\\Rightarrow t'=\dfrac{168.75}{1.67}\\\Rightarrow t'=101.04\ years

The time taken from the perspective of the ship is 101.04 years

sattari [20]

Answer:

49.3 N

Explanation:

Given that Pulling up on a rope, you lift a 4.25 kg bucket of water from a well with an acceleration of 1.80 m/s2 . What is the tension in the rope?

The weight of the bucket of water = mg.

Weight = 4.25 × 9.8

Weight = 41.65 N

The tension and the weight will be opposite in direction.

Total force = ma

T - mg = ma

Make tension T the subject of formula

T = ma + mg

T = m ( a + g )

Substitutes all the parameters into the formula

T = 4.25 ( 1.8 + 9.8 )

T = 4.25 ( 11.6 )

T = 49.3 N

Therefore, the tension in the rope is 49.3 N approximately.

julia-pushkina [17]
These are the characteristics that apply:

 - In a solution taste sour: which is consequence of the H+ concentration.

- Corrode metals: the H+ ion reacts with the metal producing a salt and water

-Produce hydronium ion in solution: as per the Bronsted - Lowry definition an acid is a substance that donates a proton, H+. This proton will react with H2O to form H3O+ (hydronium), as per this scheme: 

HA + H2O --> A(-) + H3O(+)

Tju [1.3M]

By law of refraction we know that image position and object positions are related to each other by following relation

\frac{\mu_1}{h_o} = \frac{\mu_2}{h_i}

here we know that

\mu_1 = 1.473

h_o = 5 cm

\mu_2 = 1

now by above formula

\frac{1.473}{5} = \frac{1}{h_i}

h_i = 3.39 cm

so apparent depth of the bottom is seen by the observer as h = 3.39 cm
