Physics

Lubov Fominskaja [6]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Mass and thus force depends on the reference frame chosen

Explanation:

This can be explained as Newton's law of gravity provides action which are instantaneous at a distance and involves the evaluation of all the quantities at present time or at the instant they occur.

If the body undergoes a change in its mass distribution there will be an immediate change in its gravitational force without any lag.

Now, if we talk about special relativity, it would be absurd to say that an information can travel faster than light. The effect is in synchronization with the cause in one reference frame where the effect occurs after the cause for some observer in some other reference frame.

In order to observe Newton's law of gravity all the observer's in different reference frames must observe the same phenomena which could only be possible if time were absolute and in special relativity, time is not absolute.

Therefore, Newton's law of gravity was inconsistent with the Einstein's Special Relativity.

3. What are the challenges of looking for Dyson spheres?
S_A_V [24]

1. it is difficult to search for it . Because infrared rays will never penetrate through earth atmosphere.

2. we are unaware of how it looks like and we only know it is red and will glow . A damaged star also looks like this.

3. Dust also makes is hard to detect Dyson spheres . So we will get confused between Dyson sphere and a star surrounded by dust.

If a car's speed triples, how does the momentum and kinetic energy of the
Harrizon [31]

Answer: When the car speed triples, momentum also triples but Kinetic energy increases 9 times or by 9 fold.

Explanation:

The momentum of a car (an object) is

p= mv

where

m is =the mass of the object( in this case car)

v is its= velocity

While the kinetic energy is is given by the formulae

K=1/2mv²

To determine how momentum and kinetic energy of the  car changes when the speed of the object triples, We have that the new velocity,

v¹= 3v

So that  the momentum  change becomes

p¹=mv¹=m (3v)= 3mv

mv=p

therefore p¹= 3p

we can see that the momentum also triples.

And the kinetic energy change  becomes

K¹=1/2m(v¹)²= 1/2m (3v)²

= 1/2m9v²= 1/2 x m x 9 x v²=9 x1/2mv²

1/2mv²=K

K¹= Kinetic energy = 9k

but Kinetic energy increases 9 times

Capacitors, C1 = 1.0 F and C2 = 1.0 F, are connected in parallel to a 6.0 volt battery (ΔV = 6.0V). If the battery is disconnect
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

66.2 sec

Explanation:

C₁ = 1.0 F

C₂ = 1.0 F

ΔV = Potential difference across the capacitor = 6.0 V

C = parallel combination of capacitors

Parallel combination of capacitors is given as

C = C₁ + C₂

C = 1.0 + 1.0

C = 2.0 F

R = resistance = 33 Ω

Time constant is given as

T = RC

T = 33 x 2

T = 66 sec

V₀ = initial potential difference across the combination = 6.0 Volts

V = final potential difference = 2.2 volts

Using the equation

V = V_{o} e^{\frac{-t}{T}}

2.2 = 6 e^{\frac{-t}{66}}

t = 66.2 sec

Which answer explains why plate B is moving underneath plate A
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Earth is composed of different layers and one layer moves over another due to differences in the densities.

According to the physics of density, a substance having less density floats over a higher density substance. The oceanic crust has more density than the continental crust that is why continental crust float over oceanic crust.

So in the given example, plate B is moving below the plate A, it means plate B is more dense than plate A because plate B is composed of oceanic crust . <u>For example : continents float over the asthenosphere (a layer below the lithosphere).</u>

Hence, the correct answer is "A ".
