Answer:

The dilation of time is a phenomenon that results from the theory of relativity proposed on 1905 by Einstein.

This theory, states (under the condition of the invariance of the speed of light in vacuum) the measurement on a body is made with reference to the system in which it is being measured and that time passes at different rates in regions of different gravitational potential.

That is:

<h2>The greater the local distortion of space-time due to gravity, the slower the time passes. </h2>

Two samples of water are mixed together.

Anon25 [30]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A.75°C

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Let the change in temp of cold water be x degrees,

while that of hot water be 100 - x degrees.

Heat exchange = mcΔt

Ice

Δt = x

m = 0.50 kg

c = 4.18 kJ/kg*°C

Hot water

Δt = 100 - x

m = 1.5 kg

c = 4.18

But;

Heat lost = heat gained

0.50 * c * x = 1.5 * c * (100 - x)

0.50 *x = 1.5*(100 - x)

0.5x = 150 - 1.5x

0.5x + 1.5x = 150 - 1.5x + 1.5x

2x = 150

x = <u>75° C</u>

Hence; the equilbrium temperature will be 75° C

What is the ratio of the intensities of an earthquake P wave passing through the Earth and detected at two points 14 km and 49 k

Molodets [167]

Answer:

$\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=12.25$

Explanation:

$r_1$ = 14 km

$r_2$ = 49 km

Intensity of a wave is inversely proportional to distance

$I\propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}$

So,

$\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{49^2}{14^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=12.25$

The ratio of the intensities is $\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=12.25$

Manuel is holding a 5kg box. How much force is the box exerting on him?In what direction

soldi70 [24.7K]

The force the box is exerting on Manuel is the weight of the box, downward:
$W=mg=(5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=49.05 N$
and this force is perfectly balanced by the constraint reaction applied by Manuel's hand, pushing upward.

What is the % error in using g = 10.0 m/s^2? (Take the value ofg as 9.8 m/s^2)

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

So percentage error will be 2 %

Explanation:

We have given initial value of acceleration due to gravity $g=10m/sec^2$
