A 2.55-m-long rod, as measured in its rest frame, speeds by you longitudinally at 6.11Ã10^7. You measure its length as it passes

. By how many millimeters do you determine the rod has contracted?

Answer:

The length contracts by 54 mm.

Explanation:

According to theory of special relativity the contraction in the length of an object travelling at a speed 'v' is given by

L=L_{o}\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}

where

L = contracted length of the object

L_{o} = original length of object

v = speed of the object

c = speed of light

Applying values we get

L=2.55\times \sqrt{1-\frac{(6.11\times 10^{7})^{2}}{(3\times 10^{8})^{2}}}

L=2.496m

Thus the change in length equals \Delta L=2.55-2.496\\\\\therefore \Delta L=0.054m=54mm

Describe how the three methods of thermal energy transfer may take place within the iguana’s enclosure.
sasho [114]

Answer:

Heat can travel from one place to another in three ways: Conduction, Convection and Radiation. Both conduction and convection require matter to transfer heat.  Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. Thermal energy is transferred from hot places to cold places by convection. Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not rely upon any contact between the heat source and the heated object as is the case with conduction and convection. Heat can be transmitted through empty space by thermal radiation often called infrared radiation.

In a level parking lot, a man with a mass of 100 kg gives a shove to a boy with a mass of 50 kg who is on roller skates. The boy
natita [175]

Answer:

100N

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that whenever an object exerts a force on a second object, it exerts a force of equal magnitude and direction but in the opposite direction on the first. It is often stated as follows: Each action always opposes an equal but opposite reaction.

The subject 1 of 100kg is making a force F, to move an object from 50Kg to 2m / s ^ 2. This Force the object of 50Kg will reflect it in the opposite direction by Newton's third law.

Once the parameter of the force that both are experiencing is clarified, Newton's second law is applied to their respective calculation.

F = ma = 50kg * 2m / s ^ 2 = 100N

That is the force the boy exert on the man during the shove.
