The starships of the Solar Federation are marked with the symbol of the Federation, a circle, whereas starships of the Denebian

Empire are marked with the Empire's symbol, an ellipse whose major axis is n times its minor axis (a=nb in the figure ).
How fast, relative to an observer, does an Empire ship have to travel for its markings to be confused with those of a Federation ship? Use c for the speed of light in a vacuum.
Express your answer in terms of n and c.

Complete question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

The velocity is  v = c* \sqrt{1 -  \frac{1}{n^2} }

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

           a = nb

The length of the minor axis  of  the symbol of the Federation, a circle, seen by the observer at velocity v must be equal to the minor axis(b) of the  Empire's symbol, (an ellipse)

Now this length seen by the observer can be mathematically represented as

        h = t \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }

Here t  is the actual length of the major axis of of the  Empire's symbol, (an ellipse)

So t = a = nb

and  b is the length of the minor axis of the symbol of the Federation, (a circle) when seen by an observer at velocity v which from the question must be the length of the minor axis of the of the  Empire's symbol, (an ellipse)

 i.e    h = b

So

    b  =  nb  [\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } ]  

     [\frac{1}{n} ]^2 =  1 -  \frac{v^2}{c^2}

      v^2 =c^2 [1- \frac{1}{n^2} ]

       v^2 =c^2 [\frac{n^2 -1}{n^2} ]

        v = c* \sqrt{1 -  \frac{1}{n^2} }

The force required to stretch a Hooke’s-law spring varies from 0 N to 63.5 N as we stretch the spring by moving one end 5.31 cm
Alika [10]

Answer:

Force constant will be 1195.85 N/m

Work done will be 1.6859 J

Explanation:

We have given the force,  F = 63.5 N

Spring is stretched by 5.31 cm

So x = 0.0531 m

Force is given , F = 63.5 N

We know that force is given by F=kx

So 63.5=k\times 0.0531

k = 1195.85 N/m

Now we have to find the work done

We know that work done is given by

W=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 1195.85\times 0.0531^2=1.6859J
