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.

_____________________ are structures in cardiac muscle tissue that allow impulses to spread across the heart more rapidly.
Darya [45]

Gap junctions in the intercalated discs allow impulses to be spread across the heart more quickly. This is because gap junctions allow particles/signals to pass through, thus making cells with gap junctions more able to interact.

2.) Tape rule.

Explanation:

Given that the diameter and the length of a thin wire, approximately 1m in length, are measured as accurately as possible.

what are the best instruments to use ?

To measure the diameter of a thin wire, the best instrument to use is known as micrometres screw gauge.

And to measure the length of a thin wire up to 1 m, the measuring device can be tape rule or long metre rule.
