A Martian leaves Mars in a spaceship that is heading to Venus. On the way, the spaceship passes earth with a speed v = 0.80c rel

ative to it. Assume that the three planets do not move relative to each other during the trip. The distance between Mars and Venus is 1.20 × 1011 m, as measured by a person on earth. What does the Martian measure for the distance between Mars and Venus?

To find the relative distance from one point to another it is necessary to apply the Relativity equations.

Under the concept of relativity the distance measured from a spatial object is given by the equation

l = l_0 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}

Where

l_0= Relative length

v = Velocity of the spaceship

c = Speed of light

Replacing with our values we have that

l = l_0 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}

l = 1.2*10^{11} \sqrt{1-\frac{0.8c^2}{c^2}}

l = 1.2*10^{11} \sqrt{1-0.8^2}

l = 7.2*10^{10}m

Therefore the distance between Mars and Venus measured by the Martin is 7.2*10^{10}m

Aaron's normal response time to apply the car brakes is 0.7 seconds. Aaron's response time doubles when he is tired. How far wil
Likurg_2 [28]

Aaron's car is moving at speed of 30 m/s

His reaction time is given as 0.7 s

but when he is tired the reaction time is doubled

Now we need to find the distance covered by his car when he is tired during the time when he react to apply brakes

So here since during this time speed is given as constant so we can say that distance covered can be product of speed and time

So here we can use

d = v*t

d = 30 * 1.4

d = 42 m

So the car will move to 42 m during the time when he apply brakes

Which of the following best describes what alveolar are
Zolol [24]
Alveoli are tiny balloon shaped structures and are the smallest passageway in the respiratory system. The alveoli are only one cell thick, allowing the relatively easy passage of oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO2) between the alveoli and blood vessels called capillaries.

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The level of seed in each feeder

Explanation:

The independent variable is the variable which is the suspected cause of an observation, it is the variable that produce the effect observed in the dependent variable. The dependent variable is the variable that is measured

The independent variable is normally the x-value while the dependent variable is the y-value

In the question, Lana wants to find out the kind of birdseed that the neighborhood birds like (to eat) the most by feeding them different types of birdseed and measuring the level of the birdseed in the feeders at regular intervals

the independent variable is the bird seed types which Lana gives to the birds, to determine the type of bird seeds the birds like

The dependent variable is the level of the seed in the feeder which depends on the type of seeds the birds like.
