The starship Enterprise approaches the planet Risa at a speed of 0.8c relative to the planet. On the way, it overtakes the inter

galactic freighter Astra. The relative speed of the two ships as measured by the navigator on the Enterprise is 0.5c. At what speed is Astra approaching the planet?

Answer:

<em>0.3c</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The speed of Enterprise relative to Risa is 0.8c

Relative speed of both ships as measured from Enterprise is 0.5c

therefore, relative speed of Astra to Enterprise is 0.8c - 0.5c = <em>0.3c</em>

<em>this is also the relative speed with which Astra approaches the planet Risa since Enterprise's speed was calculated relative to Risa.</em>

Ugo [173]

Answer:

8.56 m/s2

Explanation:

Using law of energy conservation while taking into account of the rotational and translation kinetic energy, when the solid cylinder rolls down the incline we have the potential energy converted to kinetic energy:

E_p = E_{kv} + E_{k\omega}

mgh = mv^2/2 + I\omega^2/2

where m is the mass, I = mr^2/2 is the moments of inertia of the solid cylinder \omega = v / r is the angular speed of the cylinder

mgh = mv^2/2 + \frac{mr^2}{2}\frac{(v/r)^2}{2}

mgh = mv^2/2 + mv^2/4 = 3mv^2/4

h = 3v^2/(4g)

So if you plot a liner chart of h vs v^2 and get a slope of 6.42 then that means 3/(4g) = 6.42 so g = 6.42*4/3 = 8.56 m/s^2

The gravitational acceleration on this planet is 8.56 m/s2

The householder installs cavity wall insulation. What would happen to the time taken for the temperature to fall between points
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

the answers the correct one is: the time increases

Explanation:

When an insulating material is placed in the cavity of a wall the thermal conductivity of the system increases, therefore the temperature changes take longer.

             P= dQ / dt = K A dT / dx

when placing insulation the value of k is less

When reviewing the answers the correct one is: the time increases
