Answer:
85.62 m
168.75 years
101.04 years
Explanation:
= Length of ship = 143 m
v = Velocity of ship = 0.8c
c = Speed of light
s = Distance to Boralis orbit = 135 ly
Gamma value
Length contraction is given by
The length is 85.62 m
Time taken
Time taken from the perspective one Earth is 168.75 years
Time dilation is given by
The time taken from the perspective of the ship is 101.04 years
(A) We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states:
where
V is the potential difference across the electrical device
I is the current through the device
R is its resistance
For the heater coil in the problem, we know
and 
, therefore we can rearrange Ohm's law to find the current through the device:
(B) The resistance of a conductive wire depends on three factors. In fact, it is given by:
where
is the resistivity of the material of the wire
L is the length of the wire
A is the cross-sectional area of the wire
Basically, we see that the longer the wire, the larger its resistance; and the larger the section of the wire, the smaller its resistance.
