Answer:

The length is 8111.1 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of tourist = 1.3 m/s

Distance = 9.0 km

Speed of light = 3.0 m/s

We need to calculate the length

Using formula of length

L= L_{0}\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{v}{c})^2}

Where, l = length

L_{0}=original length

v = speed of tourist

c = speed of light

Put the value into the formula

L=9000\times\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{1.3}{3.0})^2}

L=8111.1\ m

Hence, The length is 8111.1 m.

Answer:

The length of path according to the tourist is 8111.10 meters.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of tourist, v = 1.3 m/s

Path length, L₀ = 9 km = 9000 m

If the speed of light in a vacuum were 3.0 m/s. We need to find the length of path according to the tourist. Let it is L. It is a case of length contraction.

So, L=L_0\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}

L=9000\times \sqrt{1-\dfrac{(1.3)^2}{(3)^2}}

L = 8111.10 m

So, the length of path according to the tourist is 8111.10 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Student swings a small rubber stopper attached to a string over her head in a horizontal, circular path. The string is 1.50 mete
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

v = 18.84 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of the string, r = 1.5 m (it will act as radius)

The rubber stopper makes 120 complete circles every minute.

Since, 1 minute = 60 seconds

It means, its frequency is 2 circles every second.

Let we need to find the average speed of the rubber stopper. It can be calculated as follows :

v=\dfrac{d}{T}

d is distance, d=2\pi r and 1/T = f (frequency)

v=2\pi rf\\\\=2\pi \times 1.5\times 2\\\\=18.84\ m/s

So, the average speed of the rubber stopper is 18.84 m/s.

What color do glacier appear if they are moving towards us?
kirill [66]

Answer:

Subcategories: Ice field

Explanation:

Glacier ice is blue because the red (long wavelengths) part of white light is absorbed by ice and the blue (short wavelengths) light is transmitted and scattered. The longer the path light travels in ice, the more blue it appears.

klio [65]
Your teacher is right. The moon can be seen early in the morning sometimes and late at night. Different phases are only visible on certain days as one day might be full quarter, the next full moon, the next first quarter, etc.

Two angles are supplementary. The first angle measures 40°. What is the measurement of the second angle?
e-lub [12.9K]

Supplementary angles add up to 180°. 
If one is 40°, then the other is  (180° - 40°)  =  140° .

None of those choices describes a plane. 
Choice 'C' is the only example of a plane.
