Answer:

The length of the stick is 0.28 m.

The time the stick take to move is 0.97 ns.

Explanation:

Given that,

Relative speed of stick v= 0.96 c

Speed of light c= 2.99793\times10^{8}\ m/s

Proper length of stick = 1 m

We need to calculate the length of the stick

Using formula of length

\Delta l=\Delta l_{0}\sqrt{(1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2})}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta l=1\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.96)^2c^2}{c^2}}

\Delta l=1\sqrt{1-(0.96)^2}

\Delta l=0.28\ m

We need to calculate the time the stick take to move

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{\Delta l}{v}

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{0.28}{0.96\times(2.99793\times10^{8})}

t=9.72\times10^{-10}\ sec

t=0.97\ ns

Hence, The length of the stick is 0.28 m.

The time the stick take to move is 0.97 ns.

5 What is the angular displacement at the end of the 25-mm-diameter shaft and the linear displacement of point A of Figure P5.5

5 What is the angular displacement at the end of the 25-mm-diameter shaft and the linear displacement of point A of Figure P5.5

<h3>What is displacement ?</h3>

A displacement is a vector in geometry and mechanics that has a length equal to the shortest distance between a point P's initial and final positions. It calculates the length and angle of the net motion, or total motion, in a straight line from the starting point to the destination of the point trajectory. The translation that links the starting point and the ending point can be used to spot a displacement.

The final location xf of a point relative to its beginning position xi, or a relative position (derived from the motion), is another way to express a displacement. The difference between the end and beginning positions can be used to define the equivalent displacement vector

An electric company charges $9.55 per month plus $0.14 per? kilowatt-hour (kwh) for the first 250 kwh used per month and $0.03 p
storchak [24]
$34.75 per month

It is a trick question at the end because it says that anything over 250 kwh is $0.03. Although, you are only calculating for 180 kwh and the monthly charge.
