Answer:

The value is v  =  2.999 *10^{8} \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The time taken to travel to the planet from earth is t = 189 \ light-years

    The  time to be spent on the ship is  t_{s} =  12 \  years

Generally speed can be obtained using the mathematical relation represented below

       t_s  =  2 * t *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v^2}{c^2 } }

The 2 in the equation show that the trip is a round trip i.e going and coming back

=>    12 =  2 * 189 *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v^2}{(3.0*10^{8})^2 } }

=>     v  =  2.999 *10^{8} \  m/s

Check the dimensional consistencies of s =vot+1/2at2​
Leni [432]

Answer:

s is distance so it's dimensions become L.

Nd other side we have ut+1\2at^2.

as 1\2 is a constant it will have dimensions and apply the dimensions to other quantities.

on solving u will get L there also i,e ur LHS = RHS.

thus the equation is dimensionally consistent.

Help!
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

1.It's the world's most famous equation, but what does it really mean? "Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared." On the most basic level, the equation says that energy and mass (matter) are interchangeable; they are different forms of the same thing.

2.The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei.

3.In nuclear reactions, mass is never conserved—some mass is exchanged for energy and energy for mass. Nuclear reactions take place in an atom's nucleus. In a spontaneous nuclear reaction, such as radioactive decay, mass is "lost" and appears as energy in the form of particles or gamma rays.

4.In a nuclear reaction, mass decreases and energy increases. The sum of mass and energy is always conserved in a nuclear reaction.

5.The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei.

Alex

Most waves approach the shore at an angle. However, they bend to be nearly parallel to the shore as they approach it because when a wave reaches a beach or coastline, it releases a burst of energy that generates a current, which runs parallel to the shoreline.

  • Most waves approach shore at an angle. As each one arrives, it pushes water along the shore, creating what is known as a longshore current within the surf zone.
  • Waves approach the coast at an angle because of the direction of prevailing wind.
  • The part of the wave in shallow water slows down, while the part of the wave in deeper water moves at the same speed.
  • Thus when wave reaches a beach or coastline, it releases a burst of energy that generates a current, which runs parallel to the shoreline.

As you finish listening to your favorite compact disc (CD), the CD in the player slows down to a stop. Assume that the CD spins
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

A. w=8.3rev/s

a_v=3.21rev/s^2

B. rev=10.79rev

Explanation:

A.

500rpm

500rpm*\frac{1minute}{60seg}=8.33\frac{rev}{s}

the time is about 2.60s knowing the acceleration is:

a_v=\frac{w}{t}

so:

w=8.3rev/s

a_v=\frac{8.33 rev/s}{2.60s}=3.21rev/s^2

B.

The CD stop so the final velocity is vf=0 so:

Total revolutions:

8.3rev/s*2.60s=21.58rev

21.58rev/2=10.79 rev
