Bob is watching Anna fly by in her new high-speed plane, which Anna knows to be 60 m in length. As a greeting, Anna turns on two

lights simultaneously, one at the front and one at the tail. According to Bob, the lights come on a different times, 40 ns apart.a) Which comes on first?
b) How fast is the plane moving?

Answer:

0.196*c

Explanation:

A good thing to remember is that once you have the position and the time in one frame we can figure out corresponding position and time in another frame in other frames given their relative velocities.

Anna moves in (S') frame and we are given two events synchronized in her frame with the distance between them, Hence using Lorentz transformation to show which event Bob frame (S) will see first:

Hence,

  dt = y (dt' + \frac{v*dx}{c^2} ) \\\\dt' = 0\\dx' = 60 m\\\\t_2 - t_1  = \sqrt{\frac{1}{(1 - v^2/c^2)  } } * (\frac{v*(x_2 - x_1)}{c^2} )

we are assuming that dx' > 0 , hence we are saying that light emitted from front end of the plane is event number two and that coming from the back end is event number one. As the time in Bob's frame turns out to be positive, this means that event number two happened after event number one in his frame, in other words, the light emitted from the back end of Anna's  plane arrives first to Bob's eyes.

Given:

dt' = 40ns

dt = 0

dx' = 60

Solution:

dt'  = \sqrt{\frac{1}{(1 - v^2/c^2)  } } * (\frac{v*dx'}{c^2} )\\\\\sqrt{1 - \frac {v^2}{c^2  } } = (\frac{v*dx'}{c^2*dt} )\\\\v^2 = \frac{c^4*dt^2}{c^2*dt^2 + dx'^2}\\\\v = \frac{c^2*dt}{\sqrt{c^2*dt^2 + dx'^2} }\\\\v = \frac{(3*10^8)^2*40*10^9}{\sqrt{(3*10^8)^2*(40*10^9)^2 + 60^2} }\\\\v = \frac{3.6*10^9}{61} \\\\v = 0.196 c

You notice that the price of Blu-ray players falls and the quantity of Blu-ray players sold increases. This set of observations
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

When this type of situation occurs where the price falls and the sale of a product increases then a shift is observed in the supply curve towards right as a result of this shift there is a need to shift down the demand curve

Thus When supply curve is shifted to the right the demand curve is moved down accordingly.

Janetta ran a campaign for student body president, and she really wanted to win. She gave election buttons to everyone and told
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

No, because she is hoping that people will vote for her.

Explanation:

Altruism is when you do something for others and have very little expectation of getting something in return. In this case, Janetta expected something in return from her friends. We may not also be sure of the sincerity of Janetta appreciating friendship. From the above definition of altruism, we conclude that Janetta's actions are not altruistic because she hoped that people will vote for her.

Sam is playing football. She kicks the ball with an average force of 75 N.
damaskus [11]

Answer:

22.5J

Explanation:

Here the force is given. Also, the displacement is given as 30cm.

First we should check if all the values are in their standard form.

Here 30cm should be converted to metre by dividing it with 100.

Which would give us 0.3m

Now we use the equation W=force x displacement =75 x 0.3=22.5J

I hope this satisfies you. If u have any further questions please let me know.

I hope u will follow me and make this the brainliest answer.
