Answer:Science can solve societal problems, and it can affect societal decisions.

Explanation:

Science is the discipline which tries to find out the cause of natural event or process occurring in nature. The knowledge of science can be used to generate a new technology. The technology can be used to help day to day problems of the society.

A rocket travels in the x-direction at speed 0.70c with respect to the earth. An experimenter on the rocket observes a collision

marishachu [46]

Answer:

A) The space time coordinate x of the collision in Earth's reference frame is

$x \approx 103,46x10^{9}m$ .

B) The space time coordinate t of the collision in Earth's reference frame is

$t=377,29s$

Explanation:

We are told a rocket travels in the x-direction at speed v=0,70 c (c=299792458 m/s is the exact value of the speed of light) with respect to the Earth. A collision between two comets is observed from the rocket and it is determined that the space time coordinates of the collision are (x',t') = (3.4 x 10¹⁰ m, 190 s).

An event indicates something that occurs at a given location in space and time, in this case the event is the collision between the two comets. We know the space time coordinates of the collision seen from the reference frame of the rocket and we want to find out the space time coordinates in Earth's reference frame.

<em>Lorentz transformation</em>

The Lorentz transformation relates things between two reference frames when one of them is moving with constant velocity with respect to the other. In this case the two reference frames are the Earth and the rocket that is moving with speed v=0,70 c in the x axis.

The Lorentz transformation is

$x'=\frac{x-vt}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

$y'=y$

$z'=z$

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

prime coordinates are the ones from the rocket reference frame and unprimed variables are from the Earth's reference frame. Since we want position x and time t in the Earth's frame we need the inverse Lorentz transformation. This can be obtained by replacing v by -v and swapping primed an unprimed variables in the first set of equations

$x=\frac{x'+vt'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

$y=y'$

$z=z'$

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

First we calculate the expression in the denominator

$\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}=\frac{(0,70)^{2}c^{2}}{c^{2}} =(0,70)^{2}$

$\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}} =0,714$

then we calculate t

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

$t=\frac{190s+\frac{0,70c}{c^{2}}.3,4x10^{10}m}{0,714}$

$t=\frac{190s+\frac{0,70c .3,4x10^{10}m}{299792458\frac{m}{s}}}{0,714}$

$t=\frac{190s+79,388s}{0,714}$

finally we get that

$t=377,29s$

then we calculate x

$x=\frac{x'+vt'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

$x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+0,70c.190s}{0,714}}$

$x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+0,70.299792458\frac{m}{s}.190s}{0,714}}$

$x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+39872396914m}{0,714}}$

$x=\frac{73872396914m}{0,714}}$

$x=103462740775,91m$

finally we get that

$x \approx 103,46x10^{9} m$

Akio draws the ray diagram shown.

Inessa [10]

Answer: Move the small car so it appears on the left side of the lens.

Explanation:

Because the lens is reflective the small car would apear on the same side as the normal car.

Hope this helps :)

a shot putter releases the shot some distance above the level ground with a velocity of 12.0 m/s, 51.0 ∘above the horizontal. th

Savatey [412]

Answer:

15.7 m

Explanation:

The range (horizontal distance) of the projectile is determined only by its horizontal motion.

The horizontal motion is a motion with constant speed, which is equal to the initial horizontal velocity of the object:

$v_x = v cos \theta$

where

v = 12.0 m/s is the initial velocity

$\theta=51.0^{\circ}$ is the angle between the direction of v and the horizontal

Substituting,

$v_x = (12.0 m/s)(cos 51.0^{\circ} )=7.55 m/s$

We know that the projectile hits the ground in a time of

t = 2.08 s

so the horizontal distance covered is

$d = v_x t = (7.55 m/s)(2.08 s)=15.7 m$

A hydraulic turbine is used to generate power by using the water in a dam. The elevation difference between the free surfaces up

Serjik [45]

Answer:

0.906

Explanation:

Let g = 9.81 m/s2. We can calculate the rate of change in potential energy when m = 201kg of water is falling down a distance of h = 131m per second

$\dot{E_p} = \dot{m}gh = 201*9.81*131 = 258307 J/s (W) = 258.307 kW$

So the efficiency of the water turbine is the ratio of output power over input power:

$\frac{234}{258.307} = 0.906$
