The Whirlpool galaxy is about 30 million light-years away. If you were in a spaceship that could travel at half of the speed of

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

51.96 years

2) 30 million of years

Explanation:

First we must know the travel time of the ship seen from the earth. The spaceship travels at half the speed of light, this means that the amount of time the spacecraft must spend to travel the same distance is double compared to the light, that is 60 years.

Now due to the speed of the ship, we must take into account relativistic effects, such as time dilation, this is given by:

$t'=\frac{t}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}$

Where t is the time measured in the ship, t' is the time measured in the earth, inertially moving with velocity v.

Rewriting for t:

$t=t'\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}\\t=60\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.5c)^2}{c^2}}\\t=60\sqrt{1-0.5^2}\\t=51.96 years$

This is the amount of time it would take you reach the Whirlpool galaxy in the spaceship.

2) a light year is a measure of distance, which indicates the kilometers that light travels in a year. Thus, the light emitted by Whirlpool galaxy takes 30 million of years reaches our planet.

The sun is 60° above the horizon. Rays from the sun strike the still surface of a pond and cast a shadow of a stick that is stuc

Kipish [7]

Answer:

shadow length 7.67 cm

Explanation:

given data:

refractive index of water is 1.33

by snell's law we have

$n_{air} sin30 =n_{water} sin\theta$

$1*0.5 = 1.33*sin\theta$

solving for $\theta$

$sin\theta = \frac{3}{8}$

$\theta = sin^{-1}\frac{3}{8}$

$\theta = 22 degree$

from shadow- stick traingle

$tan(90-\theta) = cot\theta = \frac{h}{s}$

$s = \frac{h}{cot\theta} = h tan\theta$

s = 19tan22 = 7.67 cm

s = shadow length

Imagine you derive the following expression by analyzing the physics of a particular system: v2=v20+2ax. The problem requires so

lisabon 2012 [21]

As per kinematics equation we are given that

$v^2 = v_o^2 + 2ax$

now we are given that

a = 2.55 m/s^2

$v_0 = 21.8 m/s$

$v = 0$

now we need to find x

from above equation we have

$0^2 = 21.8^2 + 2(2.55)x$

$0 = 475.24 + 5.1 x$

$x = 93.2 m$

so it will cover a distance of 93.2 m

You are in a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is known to be 3.28 m/s^2. You drop a ball and record that the ball ta

notsponge [240]

B) 7.87 m/s

The gravitational pull is the rate of change of velocity which is the acceleration. Formula for acceleration is;
$a = \frac{final \: velocity - initial \: velocity}{time \: taken}$

Given:

• Initial velocity = 0m/s; I dropped the ball, and didn't throw it, so it was at rest firstly
• Time taken = 2.40s
• Acceleration = 3.28m/s^2

We're require to find the final velocity, at which the ball hit the ground with. Ignoring air resistance, keep in mind that the velocity of an object increases as it comes closer to the ground.

$3.28 = \frac{final \: velocity - 0}{2.40}$
$3.28 \times 2.40 = final \: velocity$
$final \: velocity = 7.872 \frac{m}{ {s} }$
