In your frame, a person is moving in the positive x-direction at a speed of 40,000 km / s. Suppose that a streetlamp located at

x = 4 km turns on just as the person passes it by. The proper time interval between when the person is located at x = 0 km and when the streetlamp turns on is

Answer:

proper time taken by the person is 9.911 × 10⁻⁵ s

Explanation:

speed of the person  in x- direction = 40,000 km/s

                                                           =  40,000 × 10³ m/s

                                                           =  4 × 10⁷ m/s

when the person just passes the street lamp is switched on which is at x =4 km

Lorentz factor = \gamma = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{r^2}{c^2}}}

                                         = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(4 \times 10^7)^2}{(3 \times 10^8)2}}}

                                         = 1.009

time taken in your frame of reference,t =\dfrac{D}{v}

                                                                 =\dfrac{4}{40000} = 10 ^{-4}s

proper time  =t_0 = \dfrac{t}{\gamma}=\dfrac{10^{-4}}{1.009}= 9.911 \times 10^{-5} s

hence, proper time taken by the person is 9.911 × 10⁻⁵ s

Peer assessment is a unique educational model. Think back to how you felt about peer assessment at the beginning of the term, an
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

In the beginning, I was not familiar to assess assessments of the other students. Ifelt a little bit weird that is it possible to check assignments while having an instructor.I was also a bit frustrated, to be honest, that why do we have to assess thoseassessments. It was kind of extra burden for me. But after few weeks assessingmore assignments, my feeling had changed because I was learning lots of thingsthat were changing my perspectives. I was gaining extra knowledge from my peersin the form of assessments. Yes, I am comfortable with assessing assessments,because I got to learn many vocabularies and making structures of the sentencecorrectly by improving grammatically as I am not a native English speaker. Thus, inthis way, I was learning something new in each and every assessment.

Would anyone be kind enough to help me? :)

Answer:

The racetrack is 996.7 meters long

Explanation:

Convert 251km/h to km/s (kilometers per second)

3600 seconds in an hour, so:

251/3600 = 0.0697km/s

Convert km/s to m/s (meters per second)

1000 meters in a kilometer, so:

0.0697*1000 = 69.7m/s

Find length of racetrack:

69.7m/s*14.3s = 996.7m

If the racer travels 69.7 meters in one second and it takes 14.3 seconds to complete a lap, the racetrack is 996.7 meters long.

How do dominant alleles and recessive alleles differ?
Stells [14]

Answer:

A dominant allele produces a dominant trait in individuals who have one copy of the allele, that can come from one parent. To produces a recessive trait, the child must have two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent.

Explanation:

The terms dominant and recessive describe the patterns of certain traits. They describe how likely it is for certain traits to pass from parent offspring in humans and animals. The two copies of each gene (alleles), can be slightly different from each other. The differences can cause variations in the protein that’s produced, Proteins affect traits, so variations in protein activity or expression can create different phenotypes.

A dominant allele produces a dominant phenotype (trait) in individuals who have one copy of the allele, which can come from one parent. For a recessive allele to produce a recessive phenotype, the individual must have two copies, one from each parent. A person with one dominant and one recessive allele for a gene will have a dominant phenotype. They are generally considered carriers of the recessive allele- the recessive allele is there, but the recessive phenotype is not.

Makovka662 [10]
<span>Newton and Leibniz feuded over who invented calculus. Newton had proabaly come up with the idea eariler, but Leibniz took the spotlight by publishing first. Complicating things were their respecitve home countries, England and France, which had their own rivalry at the time. Further complicating matters was that they discovered different types of calculus, and had different notations. Today, beggining calculus students use methods and notations similar to Leibniz, but Newton's methods come into use in higher level classes.</span>
