Why cant your rocket could never reach the speed of light?

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The length of the object would shrink to zero which is not possible.

Explanation:

A rocket or any body cannot reach the speed of light because according to theory of relativity the and the Lorentz factor the length of the object would shrink to zero and the time dilation for that body would be infinite.

The Lorentz factor is given as:

$\gamma=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }$

where:

v = speed of the moving object

c = speed of light

In a crash test, a truck with mass 2100 kg traveling at 22 m/s smashes head-on into a concrete wall without rebounding. The fron

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

a) 11 m/s

b) 0.0564 s

Explanation:

Given:

m = 2100 kg

vi = 22 ..... m/s before collision

vf = 0 ......after collision to stop

Δs = 0.62 distance traveled after collision .. crumpling of truck

Part a

$V_{avg} = \frac{vi- vf}{2}\\\\V_{avg} = \frac{22- 0}{2}\\\\ V_{avg} = 11 m/s$

Part b

$vf = vi + a*t\\vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*s\\\\0 = 22 + a*t\\t = -22 /a\\\\0 = 484 +2*a*(0.62)\\a = - 390.3232 m/s^2\\\\t = -22/(-390.3232)\\\\t = 0.0564 s$

Which of the following statements is/are true?Check all that apply.a. A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

a). A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

TRUE

Because there is no energy loss in presence of conservative forces so energy conversion in two ways are possible.

b). A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.

TRUE

negative gradient of potential energy is equal to conservative force

$F = -\frac{dU}{dr}$

c). A non-conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

FALSE

here energy is lost against non-conservative forces

d). The work done by a conservative force depends on the path taken.

FALSE

work done by conservative force is independent of path

e). The work done by a non-conservative force depends on the path taken.

TRUE

work done by non conservative forces depends on path.

f). A potential energy function can be specified for a non-conservative force.

FALSE

It is not defined for non conservative forces

You are viewing a read out of an oscilloscope that shows you when different voltages in a circuit maximize. If the period of the

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The time is $t = 0.02 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The period of the circuit is $T = 0.04$

Generally voltage maximization of the capacitor occurs during the voltage minimization of the inductor and vise versa

So the time between the voltage maximization of the capacitor and that of the inductor is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{T}{2}$

=> $t = \frac{0.04}{2}$

=> $t = 0.02 \ s$

A meteoroid is traveling east through the atmosphere at 18. 3 km/s while descending at a rate of 11.5 km/s. What is its speed, i

Annette [7]

Answer:

The speed of meteoroid is 21.61 km/s in south-east.

Explanation:

Given that,

A meteoroid is traveling through the atmosphere at 18.3 km/s. while descending at a rate of 11.5 km/s it means 11.5 km/s in south.

We need to draw a diagram

Using Pythagorean theorem

$AC^2=AB^2+BC^2$

$AC^2=(18.3)^3+(11.5)^2$

$AC=\sqrt{(18.3)^2+(11.5)^2}$

$AC=21.61\ km/s$

Hence, The speed of meteoroid is 21.61 km/s in south-east.
