Suppose that you have been chosen for a space mission to a distant planet. Due to the length of time you'll be away from Earth y

ou must carry out physical activity every day. On earth your, strength and conditioning trainer has determined you must do 90 minutes of exercise every day. If the vehicle is travelling at 0.80 c how much time, according to a timer on the space vehicle should you be active to meet your physical activity requirement?

Answer:

I should be active for 15 hours to meet the physical activity requirement.

Explanation:

Since time dilates in moving objects, we use the formula t = t₀/√(1 - β²) where t = time in space vehicle, t₀ = time on earth = 9 hours and β = v/c where v = speed of space vehicle = 0.8c.

So, t = t₀/√(1 - β²)

t = 9/√(1 - (v/c)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.8c/c)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.8)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.64)

= 9/√0.36

= 9/0.6

= 15 hr

So, according to a timer on the space vehicle, I should be active for 15 hours to meet the physical activity requirement.

When the canoe leaked, the boat sank because it has a leak. The boat must have a strong base at its bottom to enable itself to float. If this is damaged, the water can now enter due to the hole thereby increasing the velocity of water coming in.

A world-class sprinter can burst out of the blocks to essentially top speed (of about 11.5 m/s) in the first 15.0 m of the race.
wolverine [178]
Given:
u = 0, initial speed (sprinter starts from rest)
v = 11.5 m/s, final speed
s = 15 m, distance traveled to attain final speed.

Let
a =  average acceleration,
t = time taken to attain final speed.

Then
v² = u² + 2as
or
(11.5 m/s)² = 2*(a m/s²)*(15 m)
a = 11.5²/(2*15) = 4.408 m/s²

Also
v = u +a t
or
(11.5 m/s) = (4.408 m/s²)*(t s)
t = 11.5/4.408 = 2.609 s

Answer:
The average acceleration is 4.41 m/s² (nearest hundredth).
The time required is 2.61 s (nearest hundredth).

If four students separately measure the density of a rock, and they all have very low percent
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Their measured results are closer to the exact or true value. Hence, their measured value is considered to be more accurate.

Explanation:

Considering the situation described above, the accuracy of a measured value depicts how closely a measured value is to the accurate value.

Hence, since the students' measured values have very low percent differences, it shows the similarity of computations or estimates to the actual values, which in turn offers a smaller measurement error.

Therefore, their measured results are closer to the exact or true value, which implies that their measured value is considered to be more accurate.

disa [49]
The best answer for this question is generally the best period to look for crabs is for the duration of the full moon, this is as a result of most invertebrates being nocturnal and being more effortlessly spotted and being fascinated to light sources.
