Bob is moving at 0.967c with respect to Alice. At the exact instant he passes Alice, she fires a very short laser pulse in the s

ame direction Bob is moving. (a) After 5.59 s has elapsed on Alice's watch, what distance does Alice measure between Bolb and the laser pulse? (b) After 5.59 s has elapsed on Bob's watch, what distance does Bob measure betweern himself and the laser pulse?

Explanation:

Speed of Bob, v = 0.967 c

At the exact instant he passes Alice, she fires a very short laser pulse in the same direction Bob is moving.

(a) We need to find the distance measured by Alice  between Bob and the laser pulse. It is given by :

d=ct-vt

d=t(c-v)

d=5.59\times (c-0.967c)

d=5.53\times 10^7\ meters

(b) Distance measured by Bob between himself and the laser pulse is given by :

d_B=ct

d_B=3\times 10^8\times 5.59

d_B=6.67\times 10^9\ meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

The spectral lines of two stars in a particular eclipsing binary system shift back and forth with a period of 3 months. The line
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Explanation:

given

T = 3months = 7.9 × 10⁶s

orbital speed = 88 × 10³m/s

V= 2πr÷T

∴ r = (V×T) ÷ 2π

r = (88km × 7.9 × 10⁶s) ÷ 2π

r = 1.10 × 10⁸km

using kepler's 3rd law

mass of both stars = (seperation diatance)³/(orbital speed)²

M₁ + M₂ = (2r)³/(\frac{1}{4}year)²

= (1.06 × 10²⁵)/(6.2×10¹³)

1.71×10¹²kg

since M₁ = M₂ =1.71×10¹²kg ÷ 2

M₁ = M₂ = 8.55×10¹¹kg

Two carts, A and B, are connected by a spring and sitting at rest on a track. Cart A has a mass of 0.4 kg and Cart B has a mass
Ilya [14]

Both carts experience the same force but Cart A has a greater speed after the recoil.

The given parameters;

  • <em>Mass of the cart A = 0.4 kg</em>
  • <em>Mass of the cart B = 0.8 kg</em>

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine the velocity of the carts after collision;

m_Av_0_A\ + m_Bv_0_B = m_Av_f_A \ + m_Bv_f_B\\\\the \ initial \ velocity \ of \ both \ carts = 0\\\\0.4(0) + 0.8(0) = 0.4v_f_A + 0.8v_f_B\\\\0 = 0.4v_f_A + 0.8v_f_B\\\\0.4v_f_A = -0.8v_f_B\\\\v_f_A= \frac{-0.8 v_f_B}{0.4} \\\\v_f_A = - 2 \ v_f_B \ \ m/s

According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite. The force exerted on cart A is equal to the force exerted on cart B but in opposite direction.

F_A = -F_B

Thus, the correct statement that compares the motion and forces acting on the two carts is "Both carts experience the same force but Cart A has a greater speed after the recoil."

C. Newton’s Third Law of Motion.

Because...
Newtons third law implies conversation of momentum it can also be seen as following from the second law: when one object pushes a second object at some point of contact using an applied force, there must be an equation of opposite force from the second object that cancels the applied force. Otherwise, there would be a nonzero net force on a massless point which, by the second law, would accelerate the point of contact by an infinite amount.
