It is easy to see the think layers in the stone. Metamorphic rock often forms layers due to being squeezed under pressure. Since it separates into think sheets,slate has been used for chalkboards roof,shingles,and pool table tops.

A rectangular painting measures 1.0 m tall along the y' axis and 3.0 m wide along the
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

a) 1 m tall, 3 m wide

b) 1 m tall, 1.31 m wide

Explanation:

According to the captain of the spaceship, the dimensions of the picture is the same i.e 1.0 m tall along the y' axis and 3.0 m wide along the x' axis.

b) The dimensions of the picture as seen by an observer on the Earth along the y axis will remain the same, 1.0 m tall, for the direction of the y axis is perpendicular to the spaceship movement.

The dimensions of the picture as seen by an observer on the Earth along the x axis will reduce if we are to go by the Lorentz contraction:

L(x) = L(x)' * √[1 - (v²/c²)]

where

L(x)' = the dimensions of the picture along the x axis on the spaceship,

v² = the speed of the spaceship and c² = the speed of light in the vacuum.

On substituting, we have

L(x) = 3 * √[1 - (0.81c²/c²)]

L(x) = 1.31 m

Ethan is using a machine to mix cement. The work input is 10 and the work output is 8. What is the efficiency of the
Arturiano [62]

Efficiency or \eta is calculated by formula: \eta=\frac{W_{output}}{W_{input}} where \eta\leq1 also efficiency has no unit.

Now put in the data and calculate the efficiency.

\eta=\frac{8}{10}=\boxed{0.8}

The efficiency of the machine is 0.8

If you want to get percentage just multiply by 100 and you get 80%

Hope this helps.
