Answer:

The nearest plant (A) receives 4 times more radiation from the farthest plant

Explanation:

The energy emitted by the star is distributed on the surface of a sphere, whereby intensity received is the power emitted between the area of ​​the sphere

                I = P / A

               P = I A

The area of ​​the sphere is

               A = 4π r²

Since the amount of radiation emitted by the star is constant, we can write this expression for the position of the two planets

               P = I₁ A₁ = I₂ A₂

               I₁ / I₂ = A₂ / A₁

 Suppose index 1 corresponds to the nearest planet,

            r2 = 2 r₁

            I₁ / I₂ = r₁² / r₂²

            I₁ / I₂ = r₁² / (2r₁)²

            I₁ / I₂ = ¼

           4 I₁ = I₂

The nearest plant (A) receives 4 times more radiation from the farthest plant

The fictional rocket ship Adventure is measured to be 50 m long by the ship's captain inside the rocket.When the rocket moves pa
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Complete question:

Part A:) The fictional rocket ship Adventure is measured to be 50 m long by the ship's captain inside the rocket.When the rocket moves past a space dock at 0.5c , space-dock personnel measure the rocket ship to be 43.3 m long. The rocket ship Adventure travels to a star many light-years away, then turns around and returns at the same speed. When it returns to the space dock, who would have aged less: the space-dock personnel or ship's captain?

Part B: What is the momentum of a proton traveling at 0.62 c ?

Answer

a)Who would have aged less=The Captain would have aged less

b) p=3.96*10^{-19}kgm/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Length measured by captain l_c=50m

Speed of rocket past tje space dock V=0.5c

Length measured by space-dock personnel l_c=43.3m

a)

Generally time moves slower when moving at speed of light, due to time dilation or variation.

Who would have aged less=The Captain would have aged less

b)

Generally the equation for Relativistic Momentum  is mathematically given as

p=\frac{m*v}{1 - v^2/c^2}

p=\frac{1.67*10^2-27*0.62*3.0*10^8)}{\sqrt{ 1 -0.6^2}}

p=3.96*10^{-19}kgm/s

A spring is hung from the ceiling. When a block is attached to its end, it stretches 2.6 cm before reaching its new equilibrium
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

f = 3.09 Hz

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic motion exercise where the angular velocity is

         w² = \frac{k}{m}

to find the constant (k) of the spring, we use Hooke's law with the initial data

         F = - kx

where the force is the weight of the body that is hanging

        F = W = m g

we substitute

        m g = - k x

        k = - \frac{m g}{x}

we calculate

        k = - \frac{9.8 m}{- 2.6 \ 10^{-2}}

        k = 3.769 10² m

we substitute in the first equation

       w² = \frac{ 3.769 \ 10^2 \ m }{m}

       w = 19.415 rad / s

angular velocity and frequency are related

       w = 2πf

        f = \frac{w}{2\pi }

        f = 19.415 / 2pi

        f = 3.09 Hz

The charge on any negatively charged oil droplet is always a whole-number multiple of the fundamental charge of a single electro
shusha [124]

Answer:

1.6\times 10^{-18} C  

Explanation:

The fundamental charge of a single electron is 1.6\times 10^{-19} C.

If there are 10 excess electrons, the net charge that would be measured should be 10 times the fundamental charge of a single electron:

Q=nq_e\\Q= 10\times 1.6\times 10^{-19} C\\Q= 1.6 \times 10^{-18} C
